    Memorandum on the Combined Federal Campaign of the National Capital Area
    May 12, 1999

    Memorandum for Heads of Executive Departments and Agencies

    Subject: 1999 Combined Federal Campaign of the National Capital Area

        I am delighted that Secretary of Health and Human Services Donna E.
    Shalala has agreed to serve as the Chair of
    the 1999 Combined Federal Campaign of the National Capital Area. I ask
    you to enthusiastically support the CFC by personally chairing the
    campaign in your agency and appointing a top official as your vice
    chair.
        The Combined Federal Campaign is an important way for Federal
    employees to support thousands of worthy charities. Public servants not
    only contribute to the campaign but also assume leadership roles to
    ensure its success.
        Your personal support and enthusiasm will help positively influence
    thousands of employees and will guarantee another successful campaign.

                                                          William J. Clinton
