    Memorandum on the 1995 United States Savings Bonds Campaign
    March 22, 1995

    Memorandum for All Federal Government Employees

    Subject: 1995 U.S. Savings Bonds Campaign

        The Federal Government will soon be conducting the 1995 Savings
    Bonds Campaign. This campaign is your chance to sign up for the Payroll
    Savings Plan for U.S. Savings Bonds or to increase your rate of saving
    if you are already participating.
        Getting into the habit of saving money is not easy, no matter how
    hard you try. The Payroll Savings Plan for U.S. Savings Bonds is a
    convenient method of saving regularly that offers tax advantages and
    investment market-based interest rates for small sums of money. When you
    join the plan, you select an amount to be set aside from each paycheck
    to buy bonds. The rest is automatic; you save payday after payday
    without interruption.
        In addition to their direct personal benefits, Savings Bonds also
    help reduce Federal spending. As members of the Government, we must set
    an example for all citizens to follow by establishing a high rate of
    participation in this excellent program.
        Savings Bonds have helped millions of Americans purchase homes,
    finance college educations, guarantee secure retirements, and weather
    financial emergencies. When one of your fellow employees calls on you
    during the campaign, please consider how bonds can help you to achieve
    your own financial goals--then sign up for bonds.
