Originating Working Notes
Qualifications
The sources identify the month and temporary release but do not supply the underlying WPB authorization number in the cited passages.
Reasoning
The February 5, 1945 Congressional Record quotes a January 15 committee report describing the January holiday; a 1948 Senate account corroborates it.
Review Notes
Use 'January 1945 production holiday' rather than implying unrestricted normal production.
