EEOC (Then vs Today)
Sworn in on 2 June 1965, and with one month to start the historic civil rights law enforcement agency from scratch, Roosevelt excused himself for a week of yachting. Two months later, “when Congress was considering the next fiscal year’s budget for the EEOC, Roosevelt was off sailing again,”

Thirty days before Enforcement Day, the EEOC had no leadership, no staff, and no office. The U.S. Commission on Civil Rights has stated that “[o]n the date Title VII became effective, EEOC had only a skeletal organization and staff and no operational procedures.”

EEOC’s budget for fiscal year 1966 was $2.75 million; negotiated while EEOC chairman Franklin D. Roosevelt, Jr. was off (not golfing) yachting (putting EEOC below the Office of Coal Research

Clinton’s EEOC vs Bush’s EEOC vs Obama’s EEOC vs Trump’s EEOC
A: The EEOC also is not a high priority of President Clinton.
While he (Clinton) has proposed raising the agency’s budget
to $268 million next year,
1) he didn’t get a chairman installed for nearly 21 months
and
2) he waited two full years before nominating a new prosecutor
for the commission (the EEOC).

Q: did not EEOC chairman Gilbert Casellas say
1) he has not met privately with President Clinton
since his confirmation (16 months ago)
2) the White House has not returned his telephone calls.
3) “Nobody gives a crap about us,” Ca\sellas said.

its 732 investigators would need at least 1 1/2 years to get through
the estimated 91,000 cases already in their files.
