Book excerpt: Excerpt from Oversight Hearing on the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission: Hearing Before the Subcommitte on Select Education and Civil Rights of the Committee on Education and Labor House of Representatives One Hundred Third Congress Second Session The subcommittee met, pursuant to notice, at 9:45 a.m., Room 2261, Rayburn House Office Building, Hon. Major R. Owens, Chairman, presiding. Members present: Representatives Owens, Payne, Scott, and Ballenger. Staff present: Maria Cuprill, Wanser Green, Ronald Bailey, John McClain, Marc Lampkin, and Tim Butler. Chairman Owens. The Subcommittee on Select Education and Civil Rights is now in session. Before we begin the hearing, I would like to make note of the fact that there are a number of very urgent matters that the House is conducting today, and we will have some interruptions. I want to thank all the witnesses who agreed to appear today. Many of you have already been inconvenienced by a few postponements and some delayed notices, but you are here, and we want to thank you for that and apologize for the inconveniences that I know are going to result as the day goes on. Today's hearing will continue our focus on the Nations law enforcement agencies and their paramilitary structures which often circumvent equal employment opportunity for all employees. The old boy networks within law enforcement agencies establish codes and regulations which allow for the easy camouflage of abuses and the systematic corruption of due process. Paramilitary organizations often create an insulated atmosphere to conceal blatant racism. The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission has a clear mandate to protect this Nations employees, including law enforcement personnel, from pervasive discrimination. The forced abdication of strong implementation powers, particularly the power to issue cease and desist orders, by the past two administrations has left the EEOC impotent. It is hoped that this urgent investigation of discrimination in law enforcement agencies will stimulate the revitalization of an agency presently experiencing a serious administrative crisis. We greatly regret the pattern of benign neglect exhibited by the administration with respect to most civil rights concerns.
