MEMORANDUM FOR: Chief, NE Support Staff
SUBJECT : Safety Program Literature
H. G.:
Although it does take extra time to prepare
manifests and to process them in the field, I believe most
employees appreciate helpful literature of this type. I
imagine there are Stations and Bases that should receive
only one copy, but you can best determine the "who and how
many."
The Office of Security each year allots
several thousand dollars for the purchase of literature
promoting employee safety. While we can't quantify the
results, I'm reasonably sure it has some beneficial affect
and clearly supports the Federal safety program.
