The confidential investigative files of the Civil Service commission contain reports on 36 Senators and 32 Congressmen who allegedly pushed GSA to find jobs for their friends. Federal law strictly prohibits preferential treatment in civil service hiring. There is enough flexibility in the law to permit Members of Congress to endorse job applicants.
