An original bill to provide for certain Department of Defense personnel management initiatives.

Summary

Directs the Secretary of Defense and, with respect to the Department of Energy's national security programs, the Secretary of Energy to develop and implement personnel demonstration programs. Requires the Secretary concerned to provide for the development and testing of an alternative employee compensation system in each demonstration program and to consider such options as: (1) annual pay adjustments that result in comparability between the total value of pay and benefits for Government service and that provided by individuals employed outside the Government for comparable work; (2) such adjustments that result in the payment of rates of basic pay consistent with that payable to individuals employed outside the Government within the same geographic region for comparable levels of work; (3) the establishment of conditions of employment through collective bargaining; and (4) special cash awards, lump-sum payments, pay increases, or nonmonetary recognition. Sets forth: (1) guidelines with respect to collective bargaining systems; (2) limitations relating to rates of basic pay and program cost; and (3) requirements for the number of program participants. Requires the Secretary concerned, prior to implementation of such demonstration programs, to develop and submit to the Comptroller General a plan to provide for program evaluation and to specify the number of employee positions covered by the program. Sets forth additional requirements with respect to plan development, the duties of the Secretary to notify the Congress and affected employees of plan implementation, and the responsibilities of the Comptroller General of the United States to review and report to specified congressional committees on plan implementation. Subjects implementation of such program to approval by the Director of the Office of Personnel Management. Provides for the termination of such programs not later than seven years after implementation. Authorizes the Secretary of Defense to prescribe the rate of pay for a position which he designates as a critical position. Limits such rate to the rate provided for a comparable position in a Federally Funded Research and Development Center and to a rate not exceeding 150 percent of the rate applicable to executive level II under the Executive Schedule. Requires the Secretary of Defense to prescribe regulations governing discussions of future employment opportunities of Department of Defense (DOD) employees. Allows a covered acquisition official who contacts, or is contacted by, a covered contractor regarding future employment opportunities to continue to engage in such discussions if the official: (1) promptly reports the initial contact to his supervisor and to the designated agency ethics officials of the agency; and (2) disqualifies himself from all participation in the performance of procurement functions relating to such contracts for any period during which future employment opportunities for such official have been rejected by either the acquisition official or the contractor. Establishes procedures by which an employee or former DOD employee may request advice from the appropriate designated agency ethics official as to whether such employee or former employee participated personally and substantially in the conduct of any DOD procurement or otherwise personally reviewed and approved the award, modification, or extension of any contract in a manner that would preclude such individual from accepting employment from, or participating in the performance of a contract on behalf of, a covered contractor. Provides for the waiver of dual compensation provisions for up to 1,000 designated critical positions. Urges the Secretary of Defense to promote an increase in the number of U.S. citizens and nationals who pursue courses of study in science, engineering, and other technical disciplines. Directs the Secretary to prescribe regulations to award National Defense Science and Engineering Graduate fellowships for graduate students in science, engineering, or other fields designated to be of priority interest to DOD. Authorizes appropriations for FY 1990 and 1991.
