 suBJECT: Converting JFMIP' s Annual Honorary Award
        to a Monetary Award


     Each year at its annual conference, The Join
Improvement Program gives a Financial Management
from one to three deserving people nominated by t
mental unit. The award is normally given to caret
or officials from State and local government. It
to Federal political appointees.

Financial Management
Improvement Award to
heir agency of govern-
er Federal employees
could also be given


     To date this has been an honorary award. However, in a recent
meeting, the JFMIP Steering Committee (of which I am GAO's-member), dis-
cussed the possibility of making a monetary award, of say $1000. If a
monetary award were given, all four JFMIP member agencies would share
equally, but GAO would have to make the payment from its appropriation.


     My question is, can GAO legally make such a payment?
would there be any restrictions on who the recipient might


And, if so,
be?


     I would like an answer before May 4 which is our next Steering
Canmittee meeting.
