Signed by President Lyndon B. Johnson on September 24, 1965, the Executive Order 11246 establishes the significance for Equal Employment Opportunity. Prohibiting the “federal contractors and federally assisted construction contractors and subcontractors, who do over $10,000 in Government business in one year from discriminating in employment decisions on the basis of race, color, religion, sex, or national origin", the Order ensures that the Contractors "take affirmative action to ensure that applicants are employed, and that employees are treated during employment, without regard to their race, color, religion, sex or national origin”.
