Issued by President Lyndon B. Johnson, this order prohibited organizations that received federal contracts and subcontracts from discriminating based on race, color, religion, and national origin in employment. In 1967, after outcry from women’s groups, the order was amended (Order 11375) to include sex on the list of attributes. Executive Order 11246 also requires federal contractors to take affirmative action to promote the full achievement of equal opportunity for women and minorities. The Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP), part of the Department of Labor, is in charge of overseeing this requirement for all federal contractors and has developed regulations for these contractors.
