IN THE NEWS...

THE FEDERAL DIARY--"Opponents of the White House plan to delay cost-of-living adjustments (COLAs) for federal retirees are gaining steam in their drive to force budget cutters to look for other ways to save money" (The Washington Post, B2).

INS--A program to streamline the process for granting U.S. citizenship to immigrants came under heavy White House pressure to speed up its procedures and wound up naturalizing 180,000 people without required criminal background checks, according to documents and officials familiar with the program (The Washington Post, A1).

HISPANICS--Claiming they have been too timid in the past, some Hispanic employees are turning to grievances and lawsuits to wrest better opportunities from agencies (The Federal Times, March 10).

CAREERS--Are the keys to corporate success different for African-Americans than for their white colleagues? Black managers think so (The Wall Street Journal, Managing Your Career).
