Gentlemen:

This has reference to conference on October 30, 1957 in regard
to application of the following agreements covering the splitting
of vacations (the taking of vacations at two different periods) :
Agreement with the BofLE dated October 1, 1956

" BofLF&E dated March 15, 1957
" ORC&B dated March 14, 1957
" " BofRT dated December 19, 1956
It was agreed that:

(1) When vacations are split, consistent with the various
agreements with the above named organizations covering "Va-
cation Schedules", an employe who requests that a part of his
vacation be advanced to an earlier date must, at the time he
takes the advance portion of his vacation, advise the proper
officer when he will commence the remainder of his vacation,
which must be during the period of his originally scheduled
vacation.

For example:

An employe has scheduled his three-week vacation to com-
mence December 8th. He subsequently requests and is
granted permission to t?.ke two weeks of his vacation during
June. He will advise the proper officer at the time he takes
his June vacation the period he desires to commence the re-
maining portion thereof, which must be on one of the desig-
nated dates, December 8th, 16th, or 23rd.

(2) If an employe fails to designate the date he will com-
mence the remaining portion of his vacation, it will be started
on the original date on which his vacation was scheduled to
commence.

(3) The splitting of vacations does aot prohibit an employe
irom advancing his entire vacation period to an earlier date,
subject to the various agreements covering "Vacation Schedules."

Yours truly,

J. T. SINGENT
