WASHINGTON - Employees of the Justice Department’s Community Relations Service are not getting the jobs thev were promised when a cutback of the agency's staff and funding was announced early this year. Former Attorney General Richard Kleindienst told the Senate Appropriations Com mittee last January that staff members of the agency would not lose their jobs and would be placed someplace within the Justice Department or in other federal agencies. But staff members presented CRS director Ben Holman with a petition asking Justice to place a freeze on outside hiring until all of the agency's dismissed workers are placed with other divisions within the department. ” the petition said. "We do not seek a confrontation with the depart ment on this issue, but rather feel (hat it is within our right to question why we have not received any real help or assistance from the depart ment. "Time is running out. Many staff have already been let go and are now’ pounding the pavement' looking for jobs." Director Holman reported that there has been a general scramble for jobs among the staff members, even among those not dropped. He insisted, however, that this has not affected their performance. Conceding that there was a general expectation that the department would place fired staff members. Holman said he had even established a com mittee within the agency to start an effort of job placement, "but we don't have a permanent job placing capacity and don't have funds ♦o do so. " "As a matter of fact, they thought it was standard procedure that they would get some help." he said in reacting to the employee’s petition.
