    BEFORE THE SUBCOMMITTEE ON CIVIL SERVICE AND GENERAL SERVICES-</

    S386, S. 865, AND S. 1133 - SILLS TO REPEAL SECTION 3306 OF

            TITLE 5, UNITED STATES CODE,)TO ELIMINATE THE

                APPORTIONMENT OF APPOINTMENTS IN THE

              DEPARTMENTAL SERVICE IN THE DISTRICT OF

                             COLUMBIA


Mr. Chairman and Members of the Subcommittee:

     I appreciate your invitation to discuss the merits of S. 386,

S. 865, and S. 1133, bills which would eliminate the requirement to

apportion appointments in the departmental service in the Washington

metropolitan area.

     During 1973, legislation to repeal the apportionment requirement

was introduced. In our November 30, 1973 report on apportionment,

we recommended that the Congress enact the legislation. In June 1975

and May 1977, we testified in favor of enactment of bills which also

proposed elimination of the apportionment requirement.

     The Civil Service Act of 1883 provided that appointments to

the competitive civil service in the District of Columbia be appor-

tioned on the basis of population as ascertained at the last census
