CSC and LEAA Act:
Height Requirement Removed for Law Enforcement Jobs
Recent actions taken by the U.S.
Civil Service Commission and the Law
I?nforc_amcnt Assistance Administra-
tion (LEAA) should open the way to
increased representation by women
and minorities in the law enforcement
field in both Federal and non-Federal
positions.
The U.S. Civil Service Commission
recently removed height and weight
requirements from the qualification
standards governing the appointment
of U.S. Park Police, deputy marshals,
special agents in the Bureau of Nar-
cotics and Dangerous Drugs, and jobs
in fire protection and prevention. U.S.
Civil Service Commission Chairman
Robert E. Hampton said: "This is
another in a continuing series of
changes designed to make standards

The Federal Aviation Administra-
tion and the U.S. Civil Service Com-
mission have reopened the Air Traffic

troller entry positions are at the GS-5

GS-13 levels in about five years. Re-

more realistic and to remove all pro-
cedural barriers which might inhibit
equal employment opportunity in
Government."
The Law Enforcement Assistance
Administration has informed police
departments, correctional institutions
and courts that receive aid from LEAA
that they may no longer use a mini-
mum height requirement as a job
qualification. Unless it can be shown
as essential to a job performance,
height limitations are now banned in
the 40,000 LEAA funded agencies.
It is felt that height requirements had
created a discriminatory practice
against women and certain minority
groups.
Furthermore, recipients of LEAA
grants who (a) receive $25,000 or
more in aid (b) employ 50 or more
people and (c) are located in a geo-
graphic area where the available
minority workforce is 31/o or more of
the total workforce must now formu-
late, implement and maintain an
Equal I ?mployment Opportunity Pro-
gram affecting women and minorities.
The written EEO Program, among
other criteria must also include statis-
tics on race, sex and national origin,
and a narrative report on current em-
ploymc nt policies, procedures and
practices as they relate to minority
employment and equal opportunity for
women. Plans must also be included
for thy dissemination of the Equal
Employment Opportunity Program to
all personnel, applicants and the gen-
eral public.
positions. There are approximately
370 women employed in this occupa-
tion and the FAA is striving to in-
crease this number. Test applications
and information are available at any
Civil Service Commission Office, Fed-
erai Job Information Center and at
most large post offices.

Reach Out-Project Women
Project Women has met with con-
siderable enthusiasm and assistance
from Federal employees. This Wash-
ington, D.C. project is designed to
motivate adolescent girls from several
inner city schools to remain in school
and to explore vocational and profes-
sional opportunities through direct
contacts with women in the world of
work. Funded by the D.C. Law En-
forcement Agency and co-sponsored
by the D.C. Commission on the
Status of Women and the D.C. Public
Schools., Project Women utilizes adult
volunteer sponsors to provide voca-
tional role models to the students.
The young women who participate
have opportunities to observe their
adult sponsors at work and to develop
a one-to-one relationship with them.
Forty-six women from 17 Federal
agencies and other non-Federal spon-
sors participated during the year.
Each sponsor averaged a caseload of
three students per year and eight hours
per month. To volunteer for Project
Women and/or to receive more infor-
mation, contact Louise Kemp, Staff
