Subject
Summary:

The Federal Workforce Restructuring Act of 1994 requires the federal government to eliminate about 270,000 positions between 1993 and 1999. To accomplish this downsizing without a reduction-in-force, the act allows federal agencies to offer buyouts to employees who agree to resign or retire by March 31, 1995. This testimony discusses (1) the administration's compliance with the act, including which positions are counted toward full-time-equivalent reductions and from what baseline, and whether savings from the reductions are being used to pay for the Violent Crime Control and Law Enforcement Act of 1994; (2) the targets of workforce downsizing; and (3) how the workforce reductions are being managed.
