FOREWORD Every four years, just after the Presidential election, the "United States Government Policy and Supporting Positions," commonly known as the PlumBook,is published,alternately,by the Senate Committee on Governmental Affairs and the House Committee on Government Reform. This publication contains data (as of September 1, 2000) on over7,000Federalcivil service leadership and support positions in the legislative and executive branches of the Federal Government that may be subject to noncompetitive appointment (e.g., positions such as agency heads and their immediate subordinates,policy executives and advisors, and aides who report to these officials). The duties of many such positions may involve advocacy of Administration policies and programs and the incumbents usually have a close and confidential working relationship with the agency head or other key officials. Following are the major categories of positions listed: • Executive Schedule and salary-equivalent positions paid at the rates established for levels I through V of the Executive Schedule; • Senior Executive Service "General" positions; • Senior Foreign Service positions; • Schedule C positions excepted from the competitive service by the President, or by the Director, OfficeofPersonnelManagement,becauseofthe confidentialorpolicy-determining nature of the position duties; • Other positions at the GS-14 and above levelexcepted from the competitive civil service by law because of the confidential or policy-determining nature of the position duties.
