handle is hein.gao/gaobabewq0001 and id is 1 raw text is: S2.,qbf BY THE U.S. GENERAL ACCOUNTING OFFICE Report To The Chairwoman, Subcommittee On Civil Service Committee On Post Office And Civil Service House Of Representatives Appointments To Professional And Administrative Career Positions This report provides information about appoint- ments made to entry level professional and administrative career (PAC) positions before and after the abolishment of the Profes- sional and Administrative Career Examination (PACE). The PACE, a written examination, was used to examine applicants for 120 different occupations. The PACE was abolished in August 1982 as a result of a consent decree negotiated in the case of Luevano v. Devine. The objective of the consent decree was to eliminate adverse impact in the hiring of blacks and hispanics to positions filled through PACE. The Office of Personnel Management has not devel- oped examination alternatives for those PAC positions previously covered by PACE. \ V'D S7>,U J B 125968 GAO/GGD-85-18 1c, DECEMBER 10, 1984
