OVERSEAS PRIVATE

INVESTMENT CORPORATION

I am LaWana Gray and I served in the Overseas Private Investment

Corporation (OPIC). As the Public Information Officer, I was often the first
contact the public or potential clients had with OPIC. One of the smallest
U.S. Government agencies, OPIC provides political risk insurance and

financing to U.S. companies making investments in emerging markets. OPIC
also partners U.S. companies with private equity investment fund managers.
Because OPIC charges market-based fees for its products, it operates on a
self-sustaining basis at no net cost to taxpayers. All OPIC projects must

adhere to international practices and cannot cause job loss in the United
States. In addition to contributing to the external communications of the
agency, I also served as Editor of E-News – OPIC’s major internal

communication channel. Before coming to OPIC in 1978, I served in the
Legislative Affairs Office at the Agency for International Development, the
Office of Foreign Direct Investment at the U.S. Department of Commerce and
the U.S. Department of Agriculture.

U.S. POSTAL SERVICE

I am Harry Donnell and I retired from the U.S. Postal Service, after serving
over 40 years at the Cambridge Springs, Pa., office. I started my career as a
PTF carrier/clerk and was also a sub on rural routes. There was one week in

my early days when I carried all three rural routes plus two city routes as well
as working the counter. I ended my career as a rural carrier, having been a
Pennsylvania Rural Letter Carrier Association (PARLCA) county president,

local union steward, PARLCA Assistant State Steward, PARLCA State
Chaplain and PARLCA PAC man. I now enjoy retirement and stopping by the
Post Office, as it is on my dog walking route.

I am Marge Donnell, wife of Harry Donnell, and I retired after 30 years as a
rural carrier from the Saegertown, Pa., U.S. Postal Service. I was one of the

first Quality of Work Life Employee Involvement (QWLEI) facilitators in the
Erie District, training many rural carriers and their postmasters and supervisors
