DIRECTIVE OF JANUARY 17, 1948 ORDER FOR CONSERVATION OF FUEL OIL, GASOLINE, AND GAS To the Heads of All Departments and Independent Agencies: I hereby direct that, effective immediately, each Department and agency of the Government observe and enforce the following rules, applicable to all property and equipment which is owned, operated, or controlled by the Government, and which wherever located uses fuel oil or gasoline, or which uses gas in areas where natural gas is not in abundant supply, except where full and rigid observance would impair or health or safety. endanger 1. Office buildings and other establishments shall not be heated above 68° at the start of work and shall be maintained at this temperature so far as practicable throughout the work-day. After work hours buildings shall not be heated above 60°. The only exception shall be those establishments whose operations require a higher temperature. Buildings without zone control and areas difficult to heat without raising the temperature of the entire building shall be studied to determine the necessary mechanical changes reasonably to meet the objectives stated. 2. Residences and residential quarters shall not be heated above 68° during waking hours or above 60° at other times. 3. No unused or unoccupied space shall be heated above the minimum temperature required to prevent damage thereto. 4. No equipment shall be installed for burning fuel oil or gas or liquefied petroleum gas, and no permanent building or establishment shall be converted to these fuels, without the prior approval of the Bureau of Mines, except where firm commitments for such installations or conversions have already been made. 13 CFR, 1943 Cum. Supp. Chapter III-Presidential Documents, Etc. 5. If available funds permit, all buildings should be insulated, weatherstripped, and provided with storm sashes to the maximum practicable extent. 6. Lighting and other uses of electricity shall be kept at the minimum consistent with safety and working efficiency, and no hot water shall be wasted. 7. No vehicle shall be driven farther or more often than necessary, or be driven at a speed of more than 40 miles an hour except in emergency. 8. No vehicle shall use premium grade motor fuel unless specifically designed for and requiring a higher octane fuel than the regular grade. 9. Every means of conserving fuel oil, gasoline, and gas, including proper maintenance of heating equipment and motor vehicles, shall be adopted and observed. The Bureau of Mines, Department of the Interior, will advise, on request, those responsible for the heating of buildings and other establishments proper methods to save fuel. on Sub. Chap. B Executive Order No. 9835 of March 21, 1947,' requires that reports, records, and files relative to the program be preserved in strict confidence. This is necessary in the interest of our national security and welfare, to preserve the confidential character and sources of information furnished, and to protect Government personnel against the dissemination of unfounded or disproved allegations. It is necessary also in order to insure the fair and just disposition of loyalty cases. For these reasons, and in accordance with the long-established policy that reports rendered by the Federal Bureau of Investigation and other investigative agencies of the executive branch are to be regarded as confidential, all reports, records, and files relative to the loyalty of employees or prospective employees (including reports of such investigative agencies), shall be maintained in confidence, and shall not be transmitted or disclosed except as required in the efficient conduct of business. Any subpena or demand or request for information, reports, or files of the nature described, received from sources other than those persons in the executive branch of the Government who are entitled thereto by reason of their official duties, shall be respectfully declined, on the basis of this directive, and the subpena or demand or other request shall be referred to the Office of the President for such response as the President may determine to be in the public interest in the particular case. There shall be no relaxation of the provisions of this directive except with my express authority. This directive shall be published in the FEDERAL REGISTER. THE WHITE HOUSE, HARRY S.
