TITLE VII: RELATIONSHIP AND EFFECT ON EXECUTIVE ORDER NO. 11246 ROBERT D. MANNING* STEPHEN R. DOMESICK** With much less controversy than accompanied the passage of Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, Presidents of the United States since 1941 have issued Executive orders proscribing discrimina- tion by employers holding government contracts.' Currently, the pro- gram of nondiscrimination in employment by government contractors and by contractors holding construction contracts financed with federal assistance is regulated by Executive Order No. 11246 of Sep- tember 24, 1965.2 The issuance of this Executive order subsequent to the effective date of Title VII clearly demonstrates the Government's commitment to a broad-based program of equal employment opportunity.' There is a considerable functional overlap between Executive Order No. 11246 and Title VII, but significant differences exist between the two pro- grams in effectuating the common goal of nondiscrimination in em- ployment practices. This paper will examine the operational functions of Executive Order No. 11246. I. GENERAL BACKGROUND Executive Order No. 10925 of March 6, 1961,4 established the President's Committee on Equal Employment Opportunity (PCEEO), an inter-agency committee composed of the heads of the principal executive departments and agencies and public members. The Com- mittee was charged with the responsibility of carrying out the execu- tive branch's program of nondiscrimination in government employ- * A.B., University of Massachusetts, 1948; LL.B., Boston University, 1951; Member, Massachusetts Bar Association; Partner, Angoff, Goldman, Manning & Pyle. 4', B.A., Brown University, 1960; LL.B., University of Pennsylvania, 1963; Member, Massachusetts Bar Association; Associate, Angoff, Goldman, Manning & Pyle. 1 This form of control is derived from the Government's power to do business with its contractors and suppliers on its own terms. Perkins v. Lukens Steel Co., 310 U.S. 113 (1940). Exec. Order No. 8802, 6 Fed. Reg. 3109 (1941), stated that employers and unions have a duty "to provide for the full and equitable participation of all workers in defense industries without discrimination because of race, creed, color or national origin." As to the constitutionality of the promulgation of a nondiscrimination clause by Executive order, see Pasley, The Non-Discrimination Clause in Government Contracts, 43 Va. L. Rev. 837 (1957). 2 30 Fed. Reg. 12319 (1965). The order became effective on October 24, 1965. 3 At present, contracts subject to this order cover approximately 38,000 employers and over 18,000,000 employees.

The authority of the Committee was later extended to the employment practices of contractors and subcontractors on federally assisted con- struction contracts.° In order to give the President's Committee a statutory basis and, more important, to enable the Committee to obtain appropriations for its work,? the Administration's proposed Civil Rights Act of 1963 authorized the establishment of a committee to prevent discrimination in employment by government contractors and contractors on federally assisted programs. However, that provision of the original bill was deleted in the House Committee on the Judiciary. The legal status of the Committee was somewhat strengthened by the Civil Rights Act of 1964.8 The Committee was directed by Title VII to confer with the Equal Employment Opportunity Com- mission (EEOC) and with state agencies, employers, employment agencies and unions subject to the title, at the direction of the President.° The act also provided specific statutory support for the executive action already taken: employers filing compliance reports pursuant to the Executive order were not required to duplicate their efforts by also filing reports under Title VII.'° After the enactment of Title VII, the problem of coordinating the Government's numerous equality programs became the respon- sibility of Vice-President Humphrey,'' who subsequently recommended to the President that operational functions be reassigned to depart- ments and agencies with clearly defined responsibilities, as distin- guished from inter-agency committees such as the PCEE0. 12 5 The President's Committee on Government 'Employment Policy, established by Exec. Order No. 10590, 20 Fed. Reg. 409 (1955), as amended, Exec. Order No. 10722, 22 Fed. Reg. 628 (1957), was abolished and its duties transferred. Exec. Order No. 11246 subsequently transferred responsibilities for insuring nondiscrimination in federal employ- ment to the Civil Service Commission. a Exec. Order No. 11114, 28 Fed. Reg. 6485 (1963), extended coverage to construction contracts financed with federal funds. 7 The President's Committee, which received no appropriation, was financed by contributions from the interested federal agencies. The authority of the Committee, while nominally great, had been weakened by its lack of a specific statutory basis. As a conse- quence, the President's Committee tended to emphasize voluntary compliance. 8 78 Stat. 241 (1964), 42 U.S.C. § 2000e (1964) [hereinafter cited by section only]. 9 716(c). 10 § 709(d). 11 N.Y. Times, Dec. 11, 1964, p. 1, col. 6 (city ed.). 12 The reassignment was intended to eliminate confusion and duplication and estab- lish a well-defined responsibility for the basic program of discrimination in employment in the contracting agencies. Memorandum to the President from the Vice President, CCH Employment Practices Guide It 16,012.50 (Sept. 24, 1965). Each .agency is required to appoint a Contracts Compliance Officer who is to be subject to the immediate supervision of the head of that agency for carrying out the organization's nondiscrimina- tion responsibilities. 41 C.F.R. § 60-1.5(b). 562 TITLE VII: EXECUTIVE ORDER 11246 In a move designed to streamline enforcement procedures, Presi- dent Johnson issued Executive Order No. 11246 which transferred to the Secretary of Labor the supervision of programs guaranteeing fair employment practices on the part of government contractors and contractors working on federally financed projects." The reassign- ment of these functions eliminated the need for the PCEEO and it was abolished on October, 24, 1965. Its records and property were transferred to the Office of Federal Contract Compliance, Equal Em- ployment Opportunity" which was established by the Secretary of Labor to absorb the Committee's functions." In the interest of con- tinuity of the program, the Secretary of Labor has provided that all rules, regulations, orders, instructions and other directives issued by the President's Committee are to remain in effect unless inconsistent with Executive Order No. 11246." II. COVERAGE OF EXECUTIVE ORDER No. 11246 Generally, the Executive order is applicable to the employment practices of all government contractors, their subcontractors and vendors, and contractors and subcontractors on federally assisted construction contracts." Every person or company awarded a contract with the Govern- ment for supplies or services, including construction, or for the use of government property, is termed a "prime contractor" and is subject to the order." Coverage of prime contractors is assured by requiring all contracting agencies" of the Government to include in every gov- ernment contract20—unless otherwise exempted—a so-called equal opportunity clause21 which prohibits employment discrimination be- 13 The Secretary of Labor had served as Vice-Chairman of PCEEO. § 102(b), Exec.

EXPLORING THE LIMITS OF EXECUTIVE CIVIL RIGHTS POLICYMAKING STEPHEN PLASS* Racial equality for blacks remains a minefield issue for American presidents. Any position a president takes is bound to alienate someone. As a result, even a well-meaning president such as Bill Clinton has had to tread very carefully when addressing this topic.1 Popular attitudes shaped by the powerful continue to dictate the extent to which presidents are able to confront continuing racial discrimination and its legacy of inequality in American life.2 Although many laws ordaining racial equality have been written, discrimination remains a normal part of life in America. This reality makes the President’s role in this area almost as difficult

  • Are Caas Federal Contractors and Do They Need Affirmative Action Plans?
    Are CAAs Federal Contractors and Do They Need Affirmative Action Plans? September 2007, CAPLAW Update By Rafael Munoz, CAPLAW Some Community Action Agencies (CAAs) have received notification from the U.S. Department of Labor (DOL) that the Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) will conduct a review of their compliance with a number of laws applicable to federal contractors, including requirements for affirmative action plans. Other CAAs have received a DOL “Equal Opportunity Survey” of federal contractors. Before responding to these communications, CAAs should review all of their grants and contracts to determine whether they are in fact “federal contractors” subject to OFCCP jurisdiction. In most cases, CAAs are not federal contractors and a letter to that effect should be sent to DOL. In addition, state contracts for Community Services Block Grant (CSBG), Low-Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP), Weatherization and other “pass-through” grants sometimes include language that requires CAAs to comply with the affirmative action rules that apply to federal contractors. If a CAA is not a federal contractor, it should explain this fact to the state and seek to have the language removed from its contract. (Keep in mind, though, that CAAs may be required to comply with state laws, regulations and executive orders on affirmative action, including a state requirement that they have an affirmative action plan.) As a general rule, because CAAs are federal grantees, rather than federal contractors, they are not required

  • Presidential Authority to Impose Requirements on Federal Contractors
    Presidential Authority to Impose Requirements on Federal Contractors Vanessa K. Burrows Legislative Attorney Kate M. Manuel Legislative Attorney January 10, 2012 Congressional Research Service 7-5700 www.crs.gov R41866 CRS Report for Congress Prepared for Members and Committees of Congress Presidential Authority to Impose Requirements on Federal Contractors Summary Executive orders requiring agencies to impose certain conditions on federal contractors as terms of their contracts have raised questions about presidential authority to issue such orders. Such executive orders typically cite the President’s constitutional authority, as well as his authority pursuant to the Federal Property and Administrative Services Act of 1949 (FPASA). FPASA authorizes the President to prescribe any policies or directives that he considers necessary to promote “economy” or “efficiency” in federal procurement. There have been legal challenges to orders (1) encouraging agencies to require the use of project labor agreements; (2) requiring that contracts include provisions obligating contractors to post notices informing employees of their rights not to be required to join a union or pay dues; and (3) directing departments to require contractors to use E-Verify to check the work authorization of their employees. These challenges have alleged, among other things, that the orders were beyond the President’s authority, under FPASA or otherwise. A 2011 draft executive order that would have directed departments to require contractors to “disclose certain political contributions and expenditures” raised similar and additional questions, as it resembled legislation that was considered, but not enacted, by the 111th Congress. The outcome of legal challenges to particular executive orders pertaining to federal contractors generally depends upon the authority under which the order was issued and whether the order is consistent with or conflicts with other statutes.
