and assists the Under Secretary in carrying out NOAA's responsibilities
relative to Titles VI and VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, as amended;
the Age Discrimination in Employment Act of 1967; the Rehabilitation
Act of 1973; as well as any other laws, Executive Orders, regulatory
guidelines affecting affirmative action and non-discrimination within
