ellums:
letter of 2 December 1975 are basically correct. However,
the "preferability" of the tractor-trailer positions over the
cbauffour assignments is questionable. tlian including overtime
factors, the yearly total salaries are comparable. The tractor-
trailer positions demand odd hours on the job to accomplish
delivery or pick-up of cargo from airports and shipping torr!i-
ton area, but
mals throughout, not only the Metropolitan Washing
quired to do same.
Our table of organization provides eight tractor-trailer
positions. but two basic factors, driver openings and. s,.-.ills,
labor is required to effect the loading ad offloading or the
cargo, whereas normally our Motor Pool chauffeurs are not re-
have restricted the movement of chauffeurs to the tractor-trailer
operation in the past. While it is true that, up until now,
all of these positions have been filled with whites, recently
one driver retired: and this allowed us to transfer a blac1,,,
from the lotor Pool to that group after
an iaadvs?sk sr.:--u Vii44Lr a.l. training program at the Agenc 's e; erase.
The oldest driver now in the tractor-trailer group is 54 years
old; and we, therefore, do not expect any further retirements
until this individual reaches the age of 60. Therefore, unless
illness should force one of the drivers to retire earlier than
anticipate ., we do not expect to effect another transfer for
a bile.
Nevertheless , each of our chau.cfeurs, 25 ire, number, has been
advised that training at govern:rie .t expense is -ivail r? lc if they
wish to transfer to the tractor-trailer operation. I-1oever, thus
far, only three have specifically requeste:l tai.=;: training.
as provided with this training at the cost of "3,790
or about St percent of the total training funds availatJe to his

Dear .r. Colby:'
Recently I was contacted regarding the status of the J;aency's Equal
Employment Opportunity's efforts for those personnel who are tractor-
trailer drivers and those who are chauffers. I have been told that
all the chauffers are black and all the tractor-trailer drivers,
with the exception of a new trainee, are white. I have been led
to believe that the tractor-trailer operator is a -,referable Job and
that progression from chauffer is theoretically possible.
I am interested in learning the Agency's plans regarding chauffer up-
.44
ng, possible tractor-trailer operator openi ncs, and whether
you anticipate providing training assistance to those chauffers
interested in promotion.
Thank you for your assistance.
Sincerely,
Ronald V. i%el l La:;,
er,ber of Congress
