Subject:    Property Pass Reminder

The purpose of this message is to request the assistance of National Center
employees in ensuring that approved property passes accompany all laptop
computers being removed from the building.  In enforcing standard security
measures, our guards are instructed to ask departing employees whether they
are carrying a briefcase or a laptop computer, as it is not easy to
differentiate visually between them.  This is a reminder that the removal of
all property from Government-controlled buildings, regardless of value, must
be authorized by completion of a Property Pass (form DI-1934).  Thank
you for your assistance.  

If you need more information on property passes and the requirement for
approvals to use Government equipment off-site, please refer to Survey
Manual chapter 408.9
[http://www.usgs.gov:8888/usgs-manual/400/408-9.html] or to the Property
Management Handbook [http://www.usgs.gov:8888/usgs-manual/
