Summary of progress in
Federal minority employment
and civil rights
MEMORANDUM FOR THE PRESIDENT
This memorandum concerns a report prepared by Bob Brown on the
progress made during 1969 by the various Federal departments and
agencies in the areas of minority group employment, civil rights
and minority affairs (Tab 1).
The report reveals that definite gains were made in each of the above
areas, and reaches the following specific conclusions:
More than 150 Negroes were appointed to top policy-making,
supervisory, managerial and advisory positions during 1969.
There was a significant increase in 1969 in the number of
minority group persons employed throughout the Government
in grades GS-10 through GS-16.
All agencies responded positively to the Presidential memoranda
of March 28, and August 8, 1969, and Executive Order 11478, of the
latter date, prescribing a policy of government-wide equal em-
ployment opportunity.
The agency responses included the initiation of training and skill
building programs, the intensification of efforts to recruit and
hire minorities at all levels, and the appointment of high-level
officials to administer equal opportunity programs.
Federal and Federally-assisted programs having an impact upon
minorities were implemented with increased effectiveness.
The Department of Justice filed a total of 178 actions during 1969
to enforce civil rights laws -- 47 more actions than were filed in
1968.
