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
