MEMORANDUM FOR HEADS OF MAJOR DEPARTMENTS
AND INDEPENDENT AGENCIES
FROM: CONSTANCE HORNER
DIRECTOR
MAR 8
SUBJECT: Conference--"Beyond Drug Testing: The Mission
to Help"
Last October I wrote urging you to promote the effective
utilization of Employee Assistance Programs (EAP's) in
your agency as a means of supporting the President's
drug-free Federal workplace initiative. In addition, I
indicated that the Office of Personnel Management (OPM)
would be undertaking several initiatives designed to assist
Federal agencies to improve the visibility and effectiveness
of EAP's in helping employees overcome their substance abuse
problems. One of those initiatives was an EAP conference.
I am now pleased to announce that OPM will hold a one-day
conference entitled, "Beyond Drug Testing: The Mission to
Help." The conference, which will be held at the Grand Hyatt
Hotel?in Washington, D.C. on April 19, 1988, is designed to
emphagIze the crucial role EAP's play in helping employees
overcome substance abuse and achieving a drug-free Federal
workplace. The subject matter and presentations will be
particularly useful to top management officials and EAP
Administrators within the Federal community. A draft
agenda and registration information are attached.
I appreciate your support of this important Administration
initiative and look forward to your agency's participation
in the EAP conference on April 19.

NOMINATION PROCEDURES
FOR
"BEYOND DRUG TESTING: THE MISSION TO HELP"
The EAP conference will be held on April 19, 1988 at the Grand
Hyatt Hotel, 1000 H. Street NW, Washington, D.C. Parking is
available at public lots located in close proximity to the hotel;
however, there is no parking in the hotel itself. Also, the
hotel is only one block from the Metro Center Subway station.
The conference cost of $75.00 will include all materials and a
luncheon. Registration will commence at 8:30 a.m. and the
conference will conclude at approximately 3:30 p.m. The attached
agenda identifies topics to be covered at this conference.
We are anticipating a large response for attendance at this
conference. Therefore, We must limit the number of attendees to
three participants from each agency. Agencies desiring
additional allotments should submit all their nominations in
priority order so we can honor those requests as extra space
becomes available. In this regard, we must know by April 4 if
all the allocated spaces will not be used so these can be
distributed to agencies desiring to send more participants.
We are requesting that each agency designate a contact person who
will be responsible for coordinating and forwarding (in one
complete package) all your agency's nominations (SF-182) to the
following address no later than April 4, 1988:
Office of Personnel Management
Employee Health Services Branch
1900 E. Street, N.W. Rm 7H39

Health Services Branch on Telephone [phone].
