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
