The 1999 FAIR Act job inventory contained hundreds of rulings that rankled
industry organizations and government employees alike. Some examples:
* The Navy and Air Force excluded some vehicle and building maintenance
and supply operation jobs from outsourcing, arguing that their link to wartime

* The Agriculture Department ruled that although jobs in campground

on a case-by-case basis.
* After complaints, the Commerce Department agreed to add map- and
chart-making jobs to its list of potentially commercial positions.
