Here's $2 Million, Boss

The employees of the Office of Governmentwide Policy at the General Services Administration have given agency administrator Lurita Doan an early Christmas present: a check for $2 million. That's how much the employees of the office saved through efficiency improvements, officials say.

Now Doan just needs to decide what to do with the money. Kevin Messner, acting associate GSA administrator in charge of OGP, has an idea: "It is my hope that the money will remain unspent and thus contribute to reducing the federal deficit," he says.
