CAPITAL BUDGET (Cont. ):

Your "bible" for spending your capital
dollars is the "yellow book", the
January 27, 1982 expenditure proposal
which was submitted to the Ministry

of Education, and on the basis of
which Treasury Board will allocate ©
funds. As you work with your Adminis-
trators of Reference, please establish
your priorities, and send your requests
via memorandum to Terry Leonard, who
will be responsible for issuing purchase
orders.

If for any reason there is a deviation
from the approved items in the "yellow
book", such deviations must be approved
by the Furnishings & Equipment Sub-
Committee before any request: is made

to Purchasing to initiate orders. Such
requests for deviation should be
addressed to my office, and will be
considered as quickly as possible.

If you have any questions, please let
me know.
