Dale Bumpers: “this bill continues the current hiring system being used within the Forest Service and the Agricultural Research Service…”

On the recordJuly 14, 1998
this bill continues the current hiring system being used within the Forest Service and the Agricultural Research Service to examine for, and make, first permanent competitive Federal appointments. The hiring system will terminate on June 30, 1998, unless it is extended. Applicants and management officials have had an overwhelmingly positive response to the hiring system. Specifically, management believes the program has increased its control over hiring, resulting in a greater likelihood that the candidate pool is appropriate and available, reducing the number of staff hours expended in testing, examining and rating applicants. The Office of Management and Budget has no objection to this amendment. I think this has been cleared on the other side.
