Mr. KATOR. The latest data I have shown 646, which 43 are women, -26 are minority, it moves up and down, 9 black, 13 Spanish-speaking. Mr. CLAY. And these are people that have to investigate complaints of discrimination? Mr. KATOR. These are the people at the agencies that we supply if agencies do ask for help in doing discrimination complaint investigations, but as I indicated, the agencies have the initial responsibility for doing that. Mr. CLAY. Are you satisfied that we are making tremendous progress in terms of affording equal opportunity to everybody in our society? Mr. KATOR. Making tremendous progress? No; I am personally satisfied that we have set the foundation, and it is the right foundation. I am personally satisfied that the picture we show, the statistical one, is an important one, showing significant change occurring in the Federal service. I am personally satisfied that over a period of time the figures at the very highest levels are going to change considerably. I am confident on all of those points. Mr. CLAY. Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Mr. HAWKINS. Prior to Mr. Clay's questions, without objection we will insert into the record a statistical breakdown of minority group employment in the Federal Government, the representation of minorities and women in 10 nonprofessional occupations with a breakdown of those occupations by race, sex, and salary, and a chart of 11 Federal professional occupations so as to reflect somewhat on the questions that Mr. Clay dealt with. Mr. Hampton, this data, I think, well reflects the concentration of minorities in the lower grades. As a matter of fact, not until we drop below level 10 are minorities adequately represented. When we get down to grades 1 to 4, they are overrepresented, if I may say so. Without objection, this will be submitted into the record.
