There's good news for Army
civilian employees in depart

officials announce that the re-

rocked the department the
last few months have come to

Although Army had to trim
1900 jobs, only a fer more
than 100 employees actually
were separated. This was due
to effective use of the attribu-
ton method, reassignments,
transfers, etc. There was a
considerable number Of down.
gradings which resulted in en-
ployes taking a cut in salary,
but at least they still have a
