Is there anything being done to correct this problem? . I was rather disappointed when I was going through a building that is being remodeled to notice that the phone equipment was marked as Canadian manufacture. With unemployment in this country now over 10 percent, with the government's "Buy American" policy and with Western Electric producing some nice tele- phones, I was quite disappointed that we bought Canadian.

As an evaluator, I feel it's a valid thing to no matter how always visit the suggestor good or bad the suggestion seems. I've seen many evaluators who do not take the time to contact the suggester and give unsatisfactory answers when suggestions are not accepted. I think people are our most important product and resource and should be given every encouragement when participating in the suggestion program.

Contracts for such equipment issued by this base have been let to U.S. firms,' However, it is a moot point when it concerns Canada since the United States and Canadian governments have a agreement, which includes reciprocal contracting. Because of the close geographic proximity and mutual interests of both nations in the defense of North America, some contracting restrictions we have with other nations have been relaxed for Canada. One is the Buy American Act which does not apply to Canadian products; thus, Canadian firms compete on an equal basis with our firms.

In addition, if we don't have conscientious evaluators, the best ideas received would go unnoticed. Although the suggestion office cannot insist each evaluator personally visit each suggestor, it is highly encouraged. Letters of appreciation are sent to evaluators who provide quality, evaluations. They recognize the evaluator and inform management of the outstanding job being done. If a personal visit is not possible, evaluators are encouraged to call the suggestor. Since Hill AFB has the highest rate of adoptions in the command, I feel confident the majority of evaluators are making contact; however, we will continue to emphasize its importance. in-dep- th GIVE YOUR FAMILY, YOUR HOME, AND YOUR WALLET, SOMETHING THAT WILL BENEFIT THEM ALL!
