Pub. L. 86-168, tit. I, sec. 103

Sec. 103. On the effective date of this title each land bank appraiser shall be transferred from the Farm Credit Administration to the Federal land bank served by him immediately prior to said effective date, without reduction in salary and accumulated leave, unless the Farm Credit Administration, in its discretion, determines that individual appraisers shall be retained as farm credit appraisers. The selection of personnel for transfer, or for retention as farm credit appraisers, shall be without regard to section 12 of the Veterans’ Preference Act of 1944, as amended (5 U.S.C. 861). Land bank appraisers shall be subject to the same employment conditions as other bank employees after transfer under this section. At least sixty days prior to the effective date of this title the Farm Credit Administration shall notify each land bank appraiser that he is to be transferred to a Federal land bank or that he is to be retained in the Farm Credit Administration. Any land bank appraiser who notifies the Farm Credit Administration in writing at least thirty days before the effective date of this title that he does not desire to accept employment as stated in the notice from the Farm Credit Administration shall be separated from employment on said effective date and such separation shall be deemed involuntary.
