    Memorandum on the 2008 Combined Federal Campaign
    June 19, 2008

    Memorandum for the Heads of Executive Departments and Agencies

    Subject: 2008 Combined Federal Campaign

        Admiral Thad W. Allen, Commandant of the
    U.S. Coast Guard, has agreed to serve as the Honorary National Chairman
    of the 2008 Combined Federal Campaign. I ask you to enthusiastically
    support the CFC by personally chairing the campaign in your agency and
    by exhorting 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
