PERFORMANCE PLAN FOR FISCAL YEAR 2008


                      US COMMISSION ON CIVIL RIGHTS


Our  Mission

The United  States Commission on  Civil Rights (referred to as the Commission) is an
independent executive branch  agency whose  mission is to inform the development of
national civil rights policy and enhance enforcement of Federal civil rights laws. We
pursue this mission by investigating alleged deprivations of voting rights and allegations
of discrimination on the basis of race, color, religion, sex, age, disability, or national
origin, or in the administration of justice.

Our  agency performs an important role in identifying emergent civil rights trends and
evaluating Federal agency civil rights enforcement programs. As the only independent
agency  in the Federal government to be exclusively concerned with the full range of
issues related to civil rights, we are charged with informing the President, Congress and
the public about current civil rights issues, including discrimination or denial of equal
protection of the laws because of race, color, religion, sex, age, disability, or national
origin, or in the administration of justice.

The Government  Performance  and Results Act (GPRA) requires agencies to prepare an
annual performance plan that covers each program activity set forth in the agency's
budget. This document constitutes our performance plan for fiscal year (FY) 2008.


Performance Plan

We  have a total budget of $8.4 million for FY 2008 and a staff of 42 full-time employees.

FY 2007          $8.9 million
FY 2008          $8.4 million


Our plan is to aggressively execute our mission consistent with these budgetary and
