Title: VETERANS PREFERENCES: CURRENT LAW AND PROPOSED LEGISLATION
Authors: Dennis W. Snook, Education and Public Welfare Division 
Abstract: This report provides information on current veterans preference law and discusses issues raised by two bills currently receiving attention. Veterans' advocates assert that a declining proportion of veterans among federal employees is indication that the policy of granting preferences to most veterans is not working as Congress intended. Two bills, H.R. 240 and S. 1021, addressed some of these concerns, and S. 1021, as amended, was enacted as P.L. 105-339.
