Under the old procedure, the order
Of dismissals depended on the total
Of an employees efficiency rating and
his seniority. For example, an en-
ploye with a very good" rating,
who had been with the Government
two years, received 80 points, 88 for
the efficiency rating and two points

Under the old system this en-
ploye was rated higher than an en-

serious charge against Diane Is based. And
