    Memorandum on the 2002 Combined Federal Campaign of the National Capital
    Area
    July 9, 2002

    Memorandum for the Heads of Executive Departments and Agencies

    Subject: 2002 Combined Federal Campaign of the National Capital Area

        I am delighted that the Secretary of Agriculture, Ann M.
    Veneman, has agreed to serve as the Chair of the
    2002 Combined Federal Campaign (CFC) 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.

                                                              George W. Bush

    Note: This memorandum was released by the Office of the Press Secretary
    on July 10.
