I am pleased to extend to you an invitation to submit nominations from
your agency for the ninth annual Federal Woman's Award, to be pre-
sented on March 5, 1969.
The vigorous interest in the Federal Woman's Award program shown
each year by the President and by heads of agencies has contributed
importantly to its success. The program offers a valuable opportunity
to pay high tribute and to focus nationwide attention on the accomplish-
ments of your exemplary career women. I am sure you will want to
start immediately on the staff work that will lead to nomination of out-
standing candidates from your field offices, as well as your Washington
headquarters.
The closing date for receipt of nominations is October 31, 1968. A
sample nomination form and criteria for nominations are enclosed.
Your agency may obtain additional forms by addressing a request to the
Federal Woman's Award, care of the U. S. Civil Service Commission,

Your agency's participation in this important program will be most
welcome. The Board joins me in anticipating the nominations of the
