OPM Authorizes Workplace Solicitation for Victims of Asian Tsunami

On December 30, 2004, the Director of the Office of Personnel Management (OPM) authorized agency heads to allow a special solicitation of federal employees at the workplace for victims of the Asian earthquake and tsunami.  With this authorization and the establishment of special solicitations by agency heads, federal employees may make a one-time cash or check donation outside the CFC, which otherwise is the only fundraising permitted in the federal workplace.  www.opm.gov
