 B-172846                       RELEASED              24 1971

 Dear Senator Tunney:

      Pursuant to your request of March 10, 1971, we have re-
 viewed the Civil Service Commission's reply of January 20,
 1971, to your inquiry on behalf of your constituent,
 Mr. Philip D. Strong, 10 Holiday Court, Pacifica, California,
who is interested in obtaining Federal employment in a senior
level position. We have reviewed also the Commission's gen-
eral procedures for handling applications for senior level
positions and its records relating to certain actions that
have been taken with respect to Mr. Strong's application for
employment. In addition, we have inquired into the status of
certain positions for which Mr. Strong has been considered.

      We believe that the Civil Service Commission's reply to
 your inquiry repiesents a reasonably complete summary of the
 procedures and practices of the Commission regarding applica-
 tions for senior level positions. We believe also that
 Mr. Strong's application for employment has been handled by
 the Commission in a manner consistent with its established
 procedures for handling applications for employment in senior
 level positions.

 PROCEDURES FOLLOWED IN HANDLING APPLICATIONS
 FOR SENIOR LEVEL POSITIONS

      Applicants for senior level positions in the Federal ser-
 vice, in lieu of taking written examinations, are required to
 submit to the Civil Service Commission resumes of their educa-
 tion and experience and, if applicable, documentary proof of
 the 10-point veterans preference.

       The resumes (applications) are screened initially by the
  Commission's Bureau of Recruiting and Examining for basic ac-
  ceptance. Upon acceptance of the applications, the names of
  the applicants are included on the Commission's senior level
  register. The applications are retained by the Commission in a
  central resource file which is used when responding to requests
  from agency appointing officers for names of qualified appli-
  cants who may be conside         llng 3ob vacancies. An
