WASHINGTON POST
— George H.W. Bush embodied the Republican Party’s decades-long struggle with race – Sean Sullivan (DIERSEN: My Democrat GAO superiors used Bush’s vetoing of the 1990 bill and his signing of the 1991 act to justify their getting rid of their employees who were Republican, White, male, and/or non-veteran who they had not promoted to GS-13 (currently $96,403) by age 25, GS-14 (currently $113,920) by age 30, GS-15 (currently $134,000) by age 35, and Senior Executive Service (currently $164,200) by age 40.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: In 1990, Bush vetoed a civil rights bill. Advocates of the measure argued it would help combat employment discrimination. The White House contended it would have incentivized “hiring and promotion quotas.” The following year, Bush signed a scaled-back version of the legislation.)
