H.R. 6476, A Bill to Establish Penalties for
Failing to Comply with Certain Recommendations
of the Civil Service Commission and for
Defeating, Deceiving, or Obstructing any
Person with Respect to any Preference Granted
him by the Veterans' Preference Act of 1944
1. If enacted, this bill would authorize the Civil Service Com-
mission (CSC) to certify names of such Agency officials and employees
as it deemed appropriate to the General Accounting Office in order
that salary could be withheld from them by reason of failure on
their part to comply with CSC recommendations relating to a veter-
an's appeal. It further provides that any Federal officer or
employee who willfully defeats, deceives, or obstructs any person
with respect to any preference or other right granted to him by
the Veterans' Preference Act of 1944 shall be fined not more than
$10,000 or imprisoned for not more than ten years, or both.
2. No criteria are provided for the establishment of indi-
vidunl liability for violations of CSC recommendations and since per-
sonnel actions in this field would be effected pursuant to the
recommendations of various responsible officials and concurred in
by several echelons of authority, it is difficult to see how CSC
could determine individual responsibility. We believe the proposal
as drafted would present both security and administrative problems.
