Memorandum on the
Federal Employee Literacy Training Program
Memorandum
for the Heads of Executive Departments and Agencies
Subject:
Federal Employee Literacy Training Program
I
am pleased to announce that our Federal Employee Literacy Training Program
(FELT), which I established as a part of the Adult Literacy Initiative on
I
am asking each Executive department and agency, including regional and field
offices, to cooperate with existing adult literacy programs by encouraging
Federal employees to volunteer to serve in these programs. Volunteer services
may range from tutoring to support activities such as providing clerical
assistance or transportation. Participation by individual employees in this
program is entirely voluntary, but I urge you to use appropriate volunteer
recognition programs in your agencies to recognize outstanding literacy
volunteers.
Please
extend my personal thanks to those Federal employees who are already
participating in FELT. I understand many of them find it one of the most
rewarding things they have ever done.
