Summary

It is the policy of the United States that in order to provide the people of the United States with a competent, honest, and productive Federal work force and to improve the quality of public service, the Federal personnel management should be implemented consistent with merit system principles and free from prohibited personnel practices. The Act sets forth provisions concerning: merit system principles; civil service functions; performance appraisal; adverse actions; staffing; senior executive service; merit pay; research, demonstration, and other programs; Federal service labor-management relations; and grade and pay retention. Section 5102♭ (5) of title 5, United States Code, is amended by striking out "section 5365" and inserting "section 5375" in lieu thereof. This section refers to the police force of the National Zoological Park.
