On the recordFebruary 9, 1994
in title III of the Civil Rights Act of 1991, the Congress created a process for the adjudication of employment discrimination claims with respect to Senate employment. Following an effort to resolve grievances through counseling and mediation, the process involves three levels of adjudication. The first stage is adjudication before an independent hearing board appointed by the Director of the Office of Senate Fair Employment Practices. The second stage is appellate review of the hearing board decision by the Ethics Committee, following which a final decision is entered in the records of the Office of Senate Fair Employment Practices. The entry of a final decision in that office paves the way for the third and final stage, which is judicial review of the final Senate decision by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit. Betty Johnson versus Office of Senate Fair Employment Practices is the first case to reach the judicial review stage of the process created by title III to resolve claims of discrimination in Senate employment.
