Police
Officers Get Vested (Literally) Via the Net
 It's
a fact: Bulletproof vests save the lives of law enforcement
officials. In 1998, Congress began allocating funds to state
and local law enforcement agencies to help them buy bulletproof
vests. The program had to be designed for efficiency and speed
and it is. The Department of Justice is administering the
program entirely on the web.

Pension
Search Program Finds
6,600 People Owed $21 Million
 This
isn't an elusive pot of gold at the end of a rainbow. This is
real money left in pensions plans that companies terminated
before all beneficiaries could be located. Twenty-seven million
dollars is still unclaimed, according to the Pension Benefit
Guaranty Corporation, which set up this search program. Tell
others. |

Pilot
Program Shares the Cost of
Personal Cell Phones for Government Use
 This
is not government business as usual. The Federal Aviation
Administration Logistics Center in Oklahoma City is giving
a choice to employees who use mobile communications. Use a
government-owned phone/pager or use your privately-owned phone
and get reimbursed at a flat payment rate, much like the reimbursement
for using your car for government business. It saves money
and workers like it.
