Executive Order: Providing for the Closing of Government Departments and Agencies on January 2, 2007

By the authority vested in me as President by the Cons ution and laws of the United States of America, it is hereby ordered as follows:

Section 1. All executive departments, independent establishments, and other governmental agencies shall be closed on January 2, 2007, as a mark of respect for Gerald R. Ford, the thirty-eighth President of the United States. That day shall be considered as falling within the scope of Executive Order 11582 of February 11, 1971, and of 5 U.S.C. 5546 and 6103(b) and other similar statutes insofar as they relate to the pay and leave of employees of the United States.

Sec. 2. The first sentence of section 1 of this order shall not apply to those offices and installations, or parts thereof, in the Department of State, the Department of Defense, the Department of Justice, the Department of Homeland Security, or other departments, independent establishments, and governmental agencies that the heads thereof determine should remain open for reasons of national security or defense or other essential public business.

THE WHITE HOUSE,

December 28, 2006.

If your employer is nice, you should be getting the day off. Also of course, no Mail delivery.

[Kori Ellis]

Honoring him is nice, but I hate that there's no mail, seeing as there is already no mail on Monday.

[SrA Husker]

You didn't have to delete your post, Kori...I was just making a joke

I agree about the mail, but it won't bother me all that much as I'll be returning from Dallas/Cotton Bowl and won't be checking it anyway.

Financial Ins utions should all be open since the Federal Reserve will be open.
Hope those of you that get the day off enjoy....

[Das Texan]
