Historical and Revision Notes
Based on title 14, U.S.C., 1946 ed., Sec. 15d (Apr. 16, 1937, ch.
107, Sec. 3, 50 Stat. 67; May 2, 1942, ch. 273, 56 Stat. 265).
The last sentence is new and is inserted to permit adjustment of the
work load and leave schedule of Academy faculty members due to the
peculiarity of the academic schedule.
The last sentence of this section is new, being included in order to
allow for adjusting the working time and leave of civilian instructors
in conformity with the academic terms at the Academy. The work load of
an instructor varies greatly, and flexibility in administration of a
faculty is therefore essential. The leave provided for civil service
employees does not fit the needs of an instruction staff, and this has
been a source of difficulty in the past. This new provision would permit
leave during the summer and between academic terms without deduction
from pay, and, it is contemplated, at no other time.
Changes were made in phraseology. 81st Congress, House Report No.
