Led by President Bush, there has been new appreciation for civil servants, Mr. Chairman. This is a brazen attack on merit hiring and promotion. When I came to chair the EEOC, I found the same thing; everybody blamed the employees. It turned out what they needed was a new management system. That is what we need here. Let us deal first with the management of the agency. We will know if the agency is well managed if it can hire and keep good employees.
