     Today, the Department begins its 1997 Combined Federal Campaign (CFC). 
     This year's theme is "It All Comes Back to You".  Very few of us have 
     not been touched in one way or another by a CFC-funded organization.  
     Whether it involves using the "Fingerprints" day care center, 
     receiving a new type of medical care, or working with a conservation 
     organization, we all have some type of connection to the CFC.  Now, we 
     must make that circle complete and contribute to the CFC.
     
     In the past two years, the Department's 29% participation rate has 
     been far less than its potential.  Government wide, participation by 
     our peers averages at 50%.  We have some catching up to do.  Our goal 
     this year is to increase out participation to 40% and reach out dollar 
     goal of $550,000.  These are goals we can achieve, because in the past 
     we have achieved similar goals and more!
     
     Soon, you will be receiving an information packet and pledge forms 
     from your Bureau/Office keyworker.  You will also be invited to 
     department-wide activities as the campaign continues.  Please join us 
     at these celebrations to learn not only about the CFC, but about the 
     specific organizations to which you can contribute.
     
     We must all make a strong commitment to make this year's campaign more 
     successful than recent years, and we can do so by GIVING.  PLEASE 
     REMEMBER THAT NO CONTRIBUTION IS TOO SMALL!
