MEMORANDUM CIRCULAR NO. 7

URGING ATTENDANCE IN THE THIRD NATIONAL CONFERENCE OF GOVERNMENT SUPPLY OFFICERS AND PROPERTY CUSTODIANS.

The Government Supply Officers Association of the Philippines, Inc (GSOAPI), will hold its third annual national convention on February 21-25, 1966, in Manila on the theme: “Supply Economy in the Government Service,” which it has selected in line with its desire to make a united stand and an all-out effort for economy in government supply management.

The importance of efficient and effective supply management cannot be over-emphasized considering that the funds appropriated for purchase of government supplies, materials and equipment constitute sizeable portion of the government’s annual budget.

All heads of departments and chiefs of bureaus and offices, chartered cities, provincial and municipal governments, including government-owned or controlled corporations, are hereby authorized to send to this convention their duly appointed Supply Officers and Property Custodians who are members of the association, provided not more than two (2) from one office (with or without regional units) shall be sent. Their attendance shall be on official time and their expenses for transportation, subsistence, lodging and convention fees relative thereto shall be chargeable against the appropriations of their respective offices subject to the availability of funds and the usual accounting and auditing requirements.

The delegates shall submit a report to their respective agency heads of their attendance and participation in the convention.

By authority of the President
