Abstract
The Subcommittee on Federal Workforce, Postal Service, and the District of Columbia of the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform examines the racial and gender diversity in the Senior Executive Service (SES) of six legislative branch agencies: the Government Accountability Office (GAO), the Library of Congress (LOC), the Congressional Budget Office (CBO), the Government Printing Office (GPO), the Capitol Police, and the Architect of the Capitol (AOC). The SES in every agency is less diverse in terms of minorities and, in four agencies, less diverse in terms of women compared to their overall workforce. The report suggests that agencies could enhance SES diversity through succession planning by improving the diversity of successor pools or exploring talent beyond these pools.
