Rescind the contractor affirmative action order and abolish its office
What the document says“Rescind EO 11246. The President should eliminate OFCCP by simply rescinding EO 11246.”
Executive Order 11246, signed in 1965, requires federal contractors to take affirmative action and not discriminate, and is enforced by the Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs. The chapter says contractors would still be bound by statutory nondiscrimination law but would no longer face overlapping regimes, and that the order lets the department impose theories Congress never enacted.
What the document actually says“Rescind EO 11246. The President should eliminate OFCCP by simply rescinding EO 11246.”
Cancel this old order. Then the office that enforces it would close.
Firms that sell to the government follow extra hiring rules. Those rules come from a 1965 order. The book says to cancel the order. The office that enforces it would close.

The chapter asked for Executive Order 11246 to be rescinded, which it said would eliminate the Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs. The Federal Register records this order as revoking 11246. The chapter noted contractors would remain bound by statutory nondiscrimination law, which this order does not alter.
The book asked that a 1965 order on contractors be pulled, which would end the office that enforced it. This order pulls that order. The book noted that firms would still be bound by bias law, which this order leaves in place.
