The Drug Enforcement Administration's Affirmative Action Program Should Be Improved

Executive Order 11478 states that it is the policy of the government to provide equal opportunity in federal employment on the basis of merit and fitness without discrimination because of race, color, religion, sex, or national origin, and to promote equal employment opportunity (EEO) through a continuing affirmative action program in each executive department and agency. The Drug Enforcement Administration's (DEA) affirmative action program seeks to develop employment goals for minorities and women and timetables for their accomplishments.
