NEW CORPORATE COST-CUTTING POLICY
Due to the current financial situation, changes will 
be made to the Business Travel Standards and 
Procedures manual. Effective Monday, the following 
revised procedures apply:
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, the 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 sec. 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 Beef-a-roni 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.
