Probably irrelevant.  Congress passes laws dictating what 
government agencies must do and what they cannot do.  In
between those extremes, the agencies, like private sector
companies, are pretty much able to set any policies their
management sees fit to implement.  If employees think
their managers are citing bogus reasons why the policies 
exist or just decide they don't like them, they can quit and 
let the agencies see that they can no longer recruit the 
people they need, just as in the private sector,
