The President of the United States has issued a memorandum delegating authority to the Secretary of the Army. This authority allows the Secretary to present Medals of Honor that were approved in 1906 to two soldiers, Private William Simon Harris, and Private James W. McIntyre, to the oldest living grandchild of each. Before the medals are presented, the Secretary of the Army must inform the President through the Secretary of Defense. This memorandum will also be published in the Federal Register.
