Within the limitation of such funds as may be made available for that purpose, and without regard to the civil service laws, the Philippine Alien Property Administrator may appoint assistants and other personnel and delegate to them such functions as he may deem necessary to carry out the provisions of this order.

Upon application for reemployment made to the original employing department or agency within ninety days after termination of the service of the employee in the position to which he is transferred under the provisions of this section, and upon presentation of a statement by the Philippine Alien Property Administrator or his authorized representatives, reciting the date of termination of such service, that the services of such employee have been satisfactory and that such termination was not the result of delinquency or misconduct on the part of the employee, such employee shall, if qualified to perform the duties of his position, be reemployed in his original position or in a position of like seniority, status and pay, so long as the position the employee left, or one of like seniority, status, and pay is occupied by an employee with lower retention preference.

erty or interests vested in or transferred to him which were located in the Philippines at the time of such vesting or transfer, or the proceeds thereof, subject, however, to such expenses as the Attorney General is authorized to charge against such property or proceeds. Such property or proceeds shall be administered and disposed of under the direction and control of the Philippine Alien Property Administrator in accordance with law.

4. The Philippine Alien Property Administrator shall, except as otherwise agreed to by the Secretary of State, consult with the Secretary of State before vesting any property or interest pursuant to this Executive order.

5.

6. The Philippine Alien Property Administrator, to the extent permitted by law, is authorized to pay out of any funds or other property or interests vested in him or transferred to him all necessary expenses of the Philippine Alien Property Administration in the performance of the functions hereby transferred: Provided, however, that the Philippine Alien Property Administrator shall submit to the Director of the Bureau of the Budget at such time or times and in such form as the Director shall require, an estimate of general administrative expenses for the remainder of the current fiscal year, and no general administrative expenses authorized to be paid pursuant to this order shall be incurred or paid by the Philippine Alien Property Administrator in excess of the amounts approved by the Bureau of the Budget upon submissions as herein required. All expenses for the current fiscal year shall, in addition, be reported to the Congress as early as practicable, with a request for ratification thereof; and no general administrative expenses shall be incurred or paid by the Philippine Alien Property Administrator after the fiscal year ending June 30, 1947, except pursuant to a

further annual authorization by the Congress.

8. No action taken by or on behalf of the Alien Property Custodian or the Attorney General as his successor under Executive Order 9747 of July 3, 1946,3 shall be challenged on the ground that it was within the jurisdiction of the Philippine Alien Property Administrator.
