Requires the OPM to certify to the appointing authority of an agency the name of each individual matched to a position of such agency. Requires an agency to offer an appointment to such a certified individual unless it objects and shows that: (1) appointment of another person is necessary to prevent substantial disruption to an essential agency function or to increase the percentage of women and minorities in the work force to the percentage as of April 1, 1981; or (2) the agency intends to withdraw the vacancy or to leave the position vacant for reasons acceptable to the OPM.

Permits individuals who have been notified of or affected by a reduction-in-force since April 1, 1981, to be assigned under such program upon application.
