In addition. aliens are not eligible to take civil service examinations. I have in my hand a letter which I received today from the U.S. Civil Service Commission which points out: Noncitizens generally may be appointed to competitive civil service positions in the United States only on a temporary basis. and then only when qualified citizens are not available. Commission regulations prohibit noncitizens from participating in civil service examinations. Later on the letter points out. regardIng Executive Order No. 11397 which provides for excepted transitional appointments of Vietnam era veterans and their subsequent conversion to regular appointments: On this basis noncitizen veterans are. not eligible for transitional appointments. I inquired of the postmaster in New York. who recently announced a program for bringing veterans into the postal service in New York. Postmaster Strachan has replied to me.
