    Memorandum on the 2006 Combined Federal Campaign
    September 13, 2006

    Memorandum for the Heads of Executive Departments and Agencies

    Subject: 2006 Combined Federal Campaign

        Admiral Thad W. Allen, Commandant of the
    United States Coast Guard, has agreed to serve as the Chair of the 2006
    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 by encouraging top agency officials around the country
    to do the same.
        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
