 <title>Review of Veterans&apos; Preference and the &quot;Rule of 3&quot;</title>
</titleInfo>
<abstract>The General Accounting Office has completed a review of selected
agencies&apos; compliance with veterans&apos; preference and the &quot;Rule of  
3&quot; in federal hiring. This review was requested by Congressman	 
Lane Evans, Ranking Minority Member of the House Committee on	 
Veterans Affairs, and Senator Tom Daschle. As agreed with the	 
requesters, because of continuing oversight of agencies&apos;	 
delegated examining units (DEU) and ongoing review of veterans&apos;  
preference, we are providing the results of our review for	 
possible follow-up. The requesters specifically asked us to	 
review the results of job announcements for fiscal year 2001 for 
five selected agency personnel offices in the Washington	 
Metropolitan Area: the National Aeronautics Space Administration 
(NASA) headquarters, NASA&apos;s Goddard Space Flight Center, the	 
Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), the Defense	 
Logistics Agency (DLA) and the Broadcasting Board of Governors	 
(BBG). As agreed with the requesters, we reviewed: (1) advertised
full-time positions (both permanent and temporary) at the	 
GS-7,9,11,13, and 15 levels as identified by the selected agency,
(2) the use of multiple certificates in filling these positions, 
(3) the resulting certificates of eligibilities, including how	 
often veterans headed these certificates and were selected, and  
(4) the reported reasons why veterans were not selected if they  
headed these certificates.</abstract>
