O- -C The program to pay military personnel cadi awards for, suggestions can be a boon to both the suggester and the taxpayer. Once die program is in foil swing, thousands of suggestions should pour in, adding up to a dollar savings cm one hand, while i giving a boost to the bank accounts of inventive service personnel. Though the program authorizes payments up to $25,000, 1 most will be much smaller. Suggestions don't have to be of such magnitude as to eliminate die national debt. Any idea, design orlr program which will save the government money will be considered, r Awards will be in proportion to die savings. Awards will be made only for suggestions that show real, savings. An individual serviceman or woman cant just submit a sud- den brainstorm and expect a check in the next mail. Suggestions must be well thought out and, in many cases, researched or tested before submission. For those service men and women willing to put in the extra time, effort and thought, die suggestion award program can be a great thing. The total savings will be equally valuable to the services and to the American public. (AFFS) money-savin- g AL!
