S. 2979--A bill to amend title 5, United States Code to provide that a 
    reduction in force may not be conducted until certain alternative 
    measures have been exhausted; to ensure the cost-effectiveness of 
    those alternative measures and of any measures taken in conducting 
    a reduction in force; to safeguard against unnecessary disruption, 
    productivity loss, and harm to labor-management relations due to a 
    reduction in force; and for other purposes; to the Committee on 
    Governmental Affairs.
