    Memorandum for the Heads of Executive Departments and Agencies

    Subject: 2003 Combined Federal Campaign

        I am delighted that the Secretary of Housing and Urban Development,
    Mel R. Martinez, has agreed to serve as the
    Chair of the 2003 Combined Federal Campaign (CFC) of the National
    Capital Area. I ask

    you to enthusiastically support the CFC by personally chairing the

        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
