Letter to Congressional Leaders on the Exclusion of the United States 
Marshals From the Performance Management and Recognition System
November 19, 1992

Dear Mr. Speaker:  (Mr. President:)
    Supervisors and management officials in GS-13, 14, and 15 positions 
throughout the Federal Government are covered by the Performance 
Management and Recognition System as required by chapter 54 of title 5, 
United States Code, unless otherwise excluded by law or under the 
President's authority as provided in 5 U.S.C. 5402(b)(1).
    Upon proper application from the United States Department of Justice 
and upon the recommendation of the Acting Director of the Office of 
Personnel Management, I have excluded the United States Marshals from 
coverage under the Performance Management and Recognition System, 
pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 5402(b)(1).
    Attached is my report describing the reasons for excluding the U.S. 
Marshals.
    Sincerely,

                                                             George Bush

                    Note: Identical letters were sent to Thomas S. 
                        Foley, Speaker of the House of Representatives, 
                        and Dan Quayle, President of the Senate.
