TLS, two pages, 8 x 10.5, FBI letterhead, March 26, 1954. Letter to Edward Krupinsky, in part: "Regarding military leave without pay, this status no longer exists in the Bureau. When an employee who has reinstatement rights following military service ceases duty in the Bureau to enter the military service he is separated for military purposes. The fact he is separated rather than being placed on military leave without pay, however, has no effect upon his reinstatement rights. Within ninety days following his honorable discharge he is entitled to apply for restoration to active duty and on meeting the reinstatement requirements, he is restored. The reinstatement requirements include his furnishing a copy of his honorable discharge and evidence of satisfactory physical condition. His rights are not affected in any way by his having been separated when he left for the military service. If you were to enlist the situation would be the same as if you were drafted. So far as enlistment would be the same as if you were drafted. So far as enlistment in an active reserve unit is concerned 1 doubt that this would take the place of the extended active duty requirement…This Bureau‘s policy with respect to employees who join active reserve units is one of noninterference." In fine condition, with two filing holes to the top.
