Which federal law was the focus of President Lyndon Johnson's Executive Order 11246—Equal Employment Opportunity?

The Voting Rights Act of 1965 focused on eliminating racial discrimination in voting, addressing obstacles such as literacy tests and other suppressive measures that historically disenfranchised minority voters. While significant for civil rights, this act did not pertain to employment discrimination or affirmative action for federal contractors, which was the focus of Executive Order 11246.

The Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970 was enacted to ensure safe and healthy working conditions by setting and enforcing standards, and by providing training, outreach, education, and assistance. This act is unrelated to employment discrimination or affirmative action, which are the central themes of Executive Order 11246.

The Resource Conservation and Recovery Act of 1976 addresses the management of hazardous and non-hazardous waste. It focuses on environmental protection and waste management practices, not on employment discrimination or equal employment opportunity, making it unrelated to Executive Order 11246.
