- CASTLEGAR NEWS, ‘Thureday, September 16, 1976 Deer Ans Ann Landers: How incredible that several of your readers (sparked by a “born-again Christian” who had cheated on his taxes years ago) followed his example and sent sizable checks (made out to Ann Landers} and asked you to endorse them and forward same to the Internal Revenue Service, One check was for $4,000! Didn't they realize you could have pocketed the money and no one would have been any the wiser? How come you didn't tell them about the Conscience Fund, eatablished for repentant individuals who had stolen or destroyed property? Si to the fund reveal their identities. Others do not. It has been the policy of the treasury department to protect the panty of each and every contributor. The monies directed are deposited in the U.S. ‘Treasury and Congress decides how they should be spert. ‘The first deposit of conscience money was made during President Madison's administration. An unknown person ‘claimed he had defrauded the government and sent ix $5. Other deposits brought the total for the year (1811) to $250. No further deposits were made until 1927 when $6 was received. 4s elas you might want to recommend the Conscience Fuad olnera, Dear Buff: Thanks for the nugget. The reason I dldn't fe ay readers about the Conscience Fund was because I didn't know about it.
