Executive Order 12940--Amendment to Civil Service Rule VI

November 28, 1994

    By the authority vested in me as President by the Constitution and 
the laws of the United States of America, including sections 3301 and 
3302 of title 5, United States Code, and having determined that it is 
necessary and warranted by conditions of good administration that 
certain positions in the Department of Agriculture continue to be 
excluded from the coverage of section 2302 of title 5, United States 
Code, and excepted from the competitive service because of their 
confidential, policy-determining, policy-making, or policy- advocating 
character, in order to ensure their deep involvement in the development 
and advocacy of Administration proposals and policies and to ensure 
their effective and vigorous implementation, and as a result of a 
reorganization of the Department of Agriculture carried out pursuant to 
Public Law 103-354, it is hereby ordered that subsection (c) of section 
6.8 of Civil Service Rule VI (5 C.F.R. 6.8) is revised to read as 
follows:
      ``(c) Within the Department of Agriculture, positions the 
      incumbents of which serve as State Executive Directors of the 
      Consolidated Farm Service Agency and positions the incumbents of 
      which serve as State Directors or State Directors-at-Large for 
      Rural Economic and Community Development shall be listed in 
      Schedule C for all grades of the General Schedule.''
    This order supersedes Executive Order No. 12300.
