The Nebraska Full Crew Law was repealed by the State Legislature to the effective 90 days after the Legislature adjourned. The Legislature adjourned on August 17, 1965, therefore, the effective date of the repeal of the Nebraska Full Crew Law will be November 16, 1965.

The assignment listed in Section 1(c) and 5(d)3 Fremont 50 Mile %one Hormel. Switcher" is not now in existence however.

Would you kindly confirm this understanding.
