MALDEF, PRLDEF, HNBA Denounce Federal Official’s Comments Concerning Hispanic Underrepresentation in the Federal Government

“The Mexican American Legal Defense and Educational Fund (MALDEF), the Puerto Rican Legal Defense and Education Fund (PRLDEF) and the Hispanic National Bar Association (HNBA) today denounced a statement by Antonio San Martin, Jr., an attorney at the federal Office of Personnel Management (OPM), which implements and monitors federal employment practices.

San Martin’s quote was published in an Aug. 1 GovExec.com article regarding the National Hispanic Leadership Agenda’s Aug. 1, 2006 report, “An Evaluation of OPM’s Efforts to Improve Hispanic Representation in the Federal Workforce.” This report contains an in-depth and well-documented analysis of OPM’s consistent failure to accurately report the state of Hispanic representation in the Federal government as well as OPM’s lack of leadership, guidance, coordination, and oversight as required under federal law.”
