6. The. Agency Suggestion Awards Program provides that employees
whose ideas are adopted, are eligible for awards ranging from ten dollars to
five thousand dollars, with exceptionally meritorious ideas eligible to receive
up to twenty-five, thousand dollars. Awards for adopted suggestions with no
monetary saving to the Agency are based. on.. a scale which gives consideration
to degree. of benefit and extent of application. The Office of Security Incentive
Awards Committee. will assist employees in developing their suggestions and
preparing them for submission. To this end, Security Office personnel with
ideas or suggestions. are encouraged. to submit them to the Committee for
discussion. In addition,. supervisory personnel having knowledge of employees
who have contributed ideas- or suggestions of value should submit the names
of these individuals to the Committee.in.order that consideration may be givers
to the processing of the idea. or suggestion. for possible award.
7. It is noted that under the Agency Program, employees-may
submit suggestions directly to the Agency. Suggestion Awards Committee if'
they so desire. However, it is -believed that the Office of Security Incentive
Awards Committee channel will be most helpful in expediting and facilitating
the processing of any suggestion.

Security to participate continually to-.the fullest extent in. both. the Honor
Awards and-the Suggestion. Awards,Programs of the Agency.
