Talk:List of executive actions by Franklin D. Roosevelt

Months
Was every single executive order 1942-1945 issued in January of the corresponding year? If so, why are some orders issued earlier marked with a later number? It seems there was some mistake when importing the data, because I doubt every order was issued in January only. Kidburla (talk) 20:44, 20 January 2017 (UTC)

Executive Order 8625
Exemption of Frank Frayser from compulsory retirement for age

Found out who Frank Frayser was, and once the 1941 table is repaired, this might be a good link. As the link is two sheets (102 and 103) the midst of 266 sheet PDF, I transcribed the text here to preserve it.

TREASURY DEPARTMENT Washington FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE,     Press Service Friday, April 17, 1942. No. 31-24

Treasury enforcement officers and other friends of Major Frank Frayser, veteran agent of the Intelligence Unit of the Bureau of Internal Revenue, will honor him at a luncheon tomorrow, in the. Jefferson Hotel, Richmond, Virginia, on the occasion of his retirement after thirty-nine years in the Federal service. Major Frayser was one of the original six inspectors drawn from the Postal service in 1919 to form the Intelligence Unit.

Associates will present the veteran agent with a medallion, bearing on one side the Seal of the Post Office Department, and his service record; and on the other side the Treasury Seal, and a record of his service in that Department.

A delegation from Washington will attend the luncheon, headed by Elmer L. Irey, Chief Coordinator of the Treasury Enforcement groups, and Mrs. Irey; Frank J. Wilson, Chief of the Secret Service, and Mrs. Wilson; J. R. Cox, Special Agent in Charge of the Washington district of the Intelligence Unit, and Mrs. Cox; and Harry Cooper, head of the Washington office of the Secret Service, and Mrs. Cooper.

Mr. Irey, who selected Major Frayser to join him in­ setting up the Intelligence Unit, will read a letter from Secretary of the Treasury Morgenthau expressing appreciation of the agent's Government career.

Major Frayser served with the nation's military forces in two wars, and maintained the vigor in his seventy-first year to serve his country in a civilian capacity in a third. He was born in King George county, Virginia, February 8, 1871. He enlisted as a private in the Richmond Light Infantry Blues in the Spanish American War, and spent a year in the Philippines with the Army,

Although he had been awarded a law degree from George Washington University, Major Frayser turned to the Government service, and in 1903 entered the Post Office Department as a clerk, in Washington. In 1907, he began his investigative career, as Post Office Inspector, and in 1917 became Inspector in Charge.

The Inspector entered the United States Army in April, 1918, as a Captain in the Military Intelligence division, and served until June, 1919. He later attained the rank of Major in the Reserve Corps.

Upon returning to civilian duties, Major Frayser was called to the Intelligence Unit by Mr. Irey. This little group of investigators pioneered the war against income tax evasion which has proved one of the most potent weapons against crime of all types in the United States. The Unit now has a personnel of more than 400.

Major Frayser became Special Agent in Charge of the Richmond Division in 1921 and continued as Senior Agent there when the Richmond office became a part of the Washington District in 1936.

Relative Numbers Termination
Why do the relative numbers terminate at EO 8696? It's tempting to add the rest in, and maybe I'm missing something, but there has to be a good reason they end there, right?
