摘要：Thirty years ago, a group of
Foreign Service members sued
the U.S. government, charging
that the mandatory retirement
age for the Foreign Service
amounted to unconstitutional
discrimination. The case went
all the way to the U.S. Supreme
Court, which ruled 8-1 in Vance v.
Bradley, 440 U.S. 93 (1979), that
Congress was justified in setting a
mandatory retirement age in recognition
of the fact that Foreign Service
members are subject to uncommon
wear and tear by extended overseas
duty under difficult and often hazardous
conditions.
