Details of Schedule C Employees to the White House Gao ID: T-GGD-92-28 April 9, 1992

GAO issued three reports from 1987 to 1990 concluding that federal agencies were using Schedule C appointment authority to hire employees exclusively for details to the White House. GAO continues to believe that this practice is inappropriate and has recommended that the Office of Personnel Management (OPM) (1) issue regulations prohibiting the detailing of Schedule C hires within 90 days of their appointment and (2) require agencies to certify in their applications that Schedule C positions are not being established solely for or primarily for details. Because OPM disagrees with these recommendations, GAO suggests that legislation is needed.
