               Mr. John F. Best
               Chief, Finance and Accounting Division
               Directorate of Resource Management
               Department of the Army
               U.S. Army Corps of Engineers

               Dear Mr. Best:

               In your letter of July 7, 1995, you forwarded a request from L. C. Williamsen,
               Finance and Accounting Officer, Corps of Engineers, Omaha District, for an advance
               decision on the propriety of paying a corporate entry fee for the American Lung
               Association of Nebraska's Omaha Corporate Cup Run. For the reasons indicated
               below, the fee should not be paid.

               The Omaha Corporate Cup Run is an annual fund-raising event run by the
               American Lung Association of Nebraska. Local companies may participate in the
               event's Corporate Division by sponsoring teams of runners. Individuals, whose
               employers are not participating, may enter the event's Open Division. Participating
               companies pay an entry fee based on their total number of employees plus $2 for
               each participating runner. Individuals entering the Open Division pay an entry fee
               of $15. Prizes are awarded to teams and individuals in the event's Corporate
               Division, and to individuals in the Open Division. Further, everybody finishing the
               race receives a Omaha Corporate Cup Run mug.

               The Wellness Coordinator for the Corps of Engineers Omaha District submitted a
               request to the Finance and Accounting Branch for payment of $595.00, representing
               the Corps' entry fee for the 1995 Omaha Corporate Cup Run. In support of the
               request the coordinator stated:

                      The entry fee is requested for support of the U.S. Army Corps of
                      Engineers health promotion program, 'Fit To Win', and support of
                      employee participation in the Corporate Cup Run.
