USGS, Water Resources Division P.O. Box 25046, Denver Federal Center Mail Stop 415 Lakewood, CO 80225 In 2003 the USGS Chief Financial Officer issued a policy that requires us to get approval from our Regional Director to conduct work without a signed agreement. The approval process is complicated and it allows us only a brief period to continue work in the absence of a signed agreement. To assist us in complying with this policy, we request that you return the signed agreement before December 31. We appreciate whatever special effort you and others in your organization will make to respond to this request. If meeting the requested due date is not possible, please contact us. If you have questions, please call Bob Boulger at extension 21, or me at extension 14. cerely ul von Guerard bdistrict Chief Enclosure
