1 Administration of the Equal Employment Opportunity Program [i] (1969)

handle is hein.civil/uscczf0001 and id is 1 raw text is: UNITED STATES COMMISSION ON CIVIL RIGHTS WASHINGTON, D.C. 20425 STAFF DIR~cToR April 1969 Dear Sir: The Commission on Civil Rights is pleased to transmit to you the enclosed study on equal employment opportunity programs and activities of the Federal government. The study was prepared under the direction of Richard P. Nathan, then Research Assistant with the Brookings Institution, pursuant to contract between the Brookings Institution and the Commission. In the course of its own hearings and studies the Commission has considered in depth several of the subjects discussed in the enclosed report. Among these is the enforcement of Executive Order 11246, Parts II and III, which forbids discrimination by government contractors, and which is the subject of a pending Commission study. In the Commission's view, enforcement of the Executive Order has been seriously deficient, at high cost to the Federal civil rights effort. It is the judgment of the Commission that by continuing to contract with employers who practice discrimination, the Federal government not only fails to use a powerful, readily alailable mechanism to help end discrimination in private employ- ment, but in 4ddition spends public funds actually to subsidize such discrimination. The enclosed report was prepared prior to the implementation of the riles and regulations under which the Federal contract compliance program now operates, and prior to the problems and criticism which have beset the program in recent months. Because of this, and because of the importance the Commission attaches to the program, I am enclosing for your consideration as well (1) a recent letter from Dr. John A. Hannah, former Chairman of this Commission, to Secretary of Labor George P. Shultz, presenting the views of the Commission on the Federal contract compliance program, (2) a supporting staff memorandum, and (3) a copy of the testimony of the Special Assistant to the Staff Director, Commission on Civil Rights, before an ad hoc Committee of the House of Representatives. Sincerely yours, Howard A. Glickstein Acting Enclosure Thurgood Marshall Law Library The University of Maryland School of Law
