DUE TO THE CURRENT FINANCIAL STATUS OF THE COMPANY. ALL
 EMPLOYEES ARE ENCOURAGED TO ADOPT THE FOLLOWING COST 
 CUTTING MEASURES
 
 
 Lodging
 
 All employees are encouraged to stay with relatives and
 friends while on business travel. If weather permits, public
 areas such as parks should be used as temporary lodging
 sites. Bus terminals, train stations, and office lobbies may
 provide shelter in periods of inclement weather.
 
 
 Transportation
 
 Hitchhiking is the preferred mode of travel in lieu of
 commercial transport. Luminescent safety vests will be
 issued to all employees prior to their departure on business
 trips. Bus transportation will be used only when work
 schedules require such travel. Airline tickets will be
 authorized in extreme circumstances and the lowest fares
 will be used. For example, if a meeting is scheduled in
 Seattle, but the lower fare can be obtained by traveling to
 Detroit, then travel to Detroit will be substituted for
 travel to Seattle.
 
 
 Meals
 
 Expenditures for meals will be limited to an absolute
 minimum. It should be noted that certain grocery and
 specialty chains, such as Hickory Farms, General Nutrition
 centers, and, Costco, Sams stores etc. often provide free
 samples of promotional items. Entire meals can be obtained
 in this manner. Travelers should also be familiar with
 indigenous roots, berries, and other protein sources
 available at their destinations. If restaurants must be
 utilized, travelers should use "all you can eat" salad bars.
 This is especially effective for employees traveling
 together as one plate can be used to feed the entire group.
 Employees are also encouraged to bring their own food on
 business travel. Cans of tuna fish, Spam, and Beefaroni can
 be consumed at your leisure without the necessary bother of
 heating or costly preparation.
 
 
 Miscellaneous
 
 All employees are encouraged to devise innovative techniques
 in effort to save company dollars. One enterprising
 individual has already suggested that money could be raised
 during airport layover periods which could be used to defray
 travel expenses. In support of this idea, red caps will be
 issued to all employees prior to their departure so that
 they may earn tips by helping others with their luggage.
 Small plastic roses and ball point pens will also be
 available to employees so that sales may be made as time
 permits.
