Dear Federal Manager and Program Specialist:
Have you ever felt that you can't keep up with Federal government personnel
policies, practices or standards? Or you've heard somewhere about a publi-
cation that deals with subjects like performance appraisal, reasonable
accommodation, retirement facts, new staffing regulations and so on?
Attached is a complimentary copy of "Rider Info". "Rider Info" is a
monthly listing'of soon to be printed U.S. Office of Personnel Management
publications. It's usually one page printed front and back and gives a
brief description of each publication with a contact person and phone num-
ber in case you have further questions. Also, in April of each year, a
special "Rider Info" is issued, listing all OPM subscription publications
like "Management" magazine, "The Federal Labor Management Consultant",
"Incentive Awards Notes", "Spotlight on Affirmative Employment Programs",
and "The Federal Trainer".
WHAT IS A "RIDER" AND WHY BOTHER?
By "riding" OPM's printing requisition at the U.S. Government Printing
Office (GPO) you can, through your central printing procurement office, buy
publications at production cost rather than retail cost as-charged the'
GPO's Superintendent of Documents. The savings are significant, especially
on subscription publications. With the new emphasis on reducing publica-
tion costs within government, using the "rider" is the most economical way
to order those publications that you and your agency need.
HOW TO CONTINUE RECEIVING "RIDER INFO"
If you would like to continue receiving "Rider Info", all you have to do is
give us a call at [phone] or 632-3822. There is no subscription
charge.
We look forward to hearing from you!
Sincerely,
Elaine Goddard,
