OPM DIRECTOR'S STATEMENT
ON THE VOTE
ON FEDERAL WORKFORCE RESTRUCTURING ACT OF 1994
Washington, D.C. -- Jim King, Director of the U.S. Office of Personnel Management, today issued the following statement upon Senate passage of H.R. 3345, the Federal Workforce Restructuring Act:
"I deeply appreciate the leadership shown by the Senate today. They had a choice between right and wrong, saving money and wasting money, compassion and inhumanity. I am pleased that they made the right choice.
"By allowing buyouts they built on successful private sector experience and made the only choice that made good management sense. Now that there is an incentive for people to leave government employment, officials can respond to taxpayers and create a government that works better and costs less. By broadly targeting which positions should be eliminated, the Administration can reduce and streamline the government in a more cost-effective, humane way."
