As I noted in the past. the subcommittee has become increasingly alarmed over the use of questionnaires to force employees to disclose their race. ethnic or national origins. The Civil Service Commission has said this disclosure is voluntary. yet the efforts to effect compliance with a minority group status survey have alarmed employees. the public and Members of Congress. In addition to the procedures involved. the contents of the survey are most disturbing in their implications. All present employees and all future employees are asked. or will be asked. to indicate whether they are "American Indian." "Oriental." "Negro." "SpanishAmerican" or "noneofthese." As one employee writes: Would American Indian include the children of say. for example. Spanishspeaking Indian immigrants from Oaxaca. Mexico. or from La Paz. Bolivia?
