Eliminate MSPB Jurisdictional Overlaps

1. Eliminate jurisdictional overlaps.

By fall 1994, the President should issue a memorandum directing the MSPB
Chair to establish a working group to examine and make recommendations
for eliminating jurisdictional overlaps in administrative due process
cases. The memorandum should also direct EEOC, FLRA, and OSC to provide
staff to the working group, which will draft any legislative proposals
needed to eliminate mixed-case processing and submit proposed
administrative and legislative proposals in a final report by spring
1995. By separate memorandum, the President should direct the Attorney
General to examine the feasibility/desirability of creating a single
court of appeals with nationwide jurisdiction over all people issues,
such as EEO, labor relations, veterans affairs, civil service, et al. A
single court would ensure greater consistency of decisions, focus legal
and judicial expertise, and alleviate the workload problems in the
circuit courts caused by escalating criminal and other litigation.  The
results of this examination should be presented to the President by
spring 1995.
