These two congressional hearings are part of a series held by the Subcommittee in conjunction with its oversight of the Federal Government's enforcement of equal employment opportunity laws and affirmative action. The first hearing addresses what are perceived to be destructive rather than constructive policy initiatives and program changes in the area of federal contract compliance programs. The second hearing examines the scope and continuing validity of the concept of affirmative action in search of bases for insisting upon the continuation of valid and successful programs.
