During the current year, the EEO program will concentrate on affirmative recruitment efforts to employ additional Spanish-speaking persons and all minorities at the upper grade levels, and on the continued expansion of our Upward Mobility Program.

The 1977 Affirmative Plan of Action, outlining the objectives for the year, has been approved and is now being published for implementation by Smithsonian supervisors.

It was observed that statistics do not reflect the expected progress in the mid-level category of employment but the Secretary stated that every effort will be made to improve minority employment, especially in this group.

A further report will be made at the next meeting.
