Personnel Practices: Federal Employees Detailed From DOD to the White House

Abstract

Your May 21, 1986, letter forwarded a request by the Chairwoman, Subcommittee on Civil Service, and the Chairman, Subcommittee on Human Resources, that we review the detailing of federal employees to the White House. The chairpersons request said that while the number of White House employees had reportedly been diminishing over the last 6 years, there was evidence that the White House staff was being increasingly augmented by employees detailed from other agencies. They asked that we examine detailing activities over the previous 6 years, with particular attention to the detailing of Schedule C employees. These employees are excepted from competitive appointment procedures because of their policymaking role or their confidential working relationship with the agency head or other top appointed agency officials.
