			MEMORANDUM

To:	    Administrative Officers

From:	    Alice A. Sabatini
	    Division Administrative Officer

Subject:    Reissuance of American Express Cards

This is a reminder that a Government American Express (AMEX) card that has
been cancelled for nonpayment or misuse will not be reissued for a minimum
of one year.  A request for reinstatement of an AMEX card must include
specific information on the disciplinary action taken by the supervisor in
response to nonpayment or misuse and that the employee has been counseled
to ensure no
further abuses will occur should the card be reissued. This information
will be used to evaluate the request for card reinstatement.

After division approval, the reinstatement request will be sent to AMEX
through the Office of Financial Management.  AMEX makes final determination
on reissuance of cards.
