Letter to Audrey Harvey of the Merit System Affirmative Action Office from Chief Affirmative Action Officer George W. Delamar, March 25, 1980. Delamar seeks a raise in pay grade for the Coordinator of New York City Fair Hearings Administration incumbent, and mentions the effort in Albany and New York City to maintain adequate Spanish-speaking staff in state agencies. A resume and job description are included with the letter.

Executive Order 40 (1976) established a New York State government-wide affirmative action mandate and required every state agency to draft a plan for the achievement of equal employment opportunities for ethnic minorities and women. The following year, in response to the same executive order, the Department of Civil Service established a Merit System Affirmative Action Office. In 1981, all state agencies were required to submit a report detailing their affirmative action plans, and how the plans had been fulfilled.
