     MEMORANDUM
     
     This message announces the 1996 DOI Occupational Safety and 
     Health Seminar, to be held April 28 - May 2 at the Red Lion Hotel, 
     Seattle Airport, Seattle, Washington.  
     
     FY 96 has been a trying year, especially because of the awkward 
     budget situation most of us currently face.  The Secretary and the 
     senior Departmental leadership continue to be firmly committed to 
     creating a safe and healthful working environment for Interior 
     employees and others.  The annual DOI Occupational Safety and Health 
     Seminar is an important tool in this effort, providing, in some cases, 
     the only training that some full-time and collateral-duty safety 
     professionals receive all year.  It also presents opportunities for 
     presentation of topics not normally covered in other training. 
     
     Because of the late date of this announcement and the need to 
     complete Seminar planning, it is imperative that you register as 
     quickly as possible using the information below.
     
     While it is our intent to proceed with the Seminar, the 
     possibility continues to exist that it may be cancelled due to the 
     budget situation within the Office of the Secretary.  Any decision to 
     cancel the Seminar will be made not later than March 18, 1996.  
     Because the Seminar is solely funded through registration fees, it is 
     critical that we have a reasonable attendance estimate to provide to 
     our management.  So, if there is a likelihood you will attend, please 
     call in to preregister.     
     We are hoping that you all will make a special effort to attend 
     this year's Seminar.  See you in Seattle!

     The 1996 Occupational Safety and Health Seminar will be held at the
