In my old records down in the garage ~ of course. That was always the case.

Bet you want something on the internet.

This will take some serious research since there were changes in 2006 and 2007 regarding what EEOC required.

In addition, there were the "Thomas" rewrites of the rules ~ and, as you recall, Judge Thomas was head of the EEOC before he was placed on the Supreme Court.

Some of this stuff simply never made the internet, but I'll check.

Remember, the objective was initially to identify black men so that we could see if they were adversely impacted by employment practices in the federal government.

I have been checking as well using Google. I have yet to find it. Thanks.

You'll find it ~ pre-Thomas period is what to look for.

The problem was in the initial set up ~ the EEOC simply took something written in the preamble to the enabling legislation ~ something like that. So it might be in the federal register regarding a piece of legislation that required the federal government to determine racial make-up of the workforce.

The federales only did the self-identification thing a few years and then it was handed over to the supervisors to "guesstimate" because too many federal employees self-identified as "other".

I saved my forms.
