will now be the Space Coordinator for DDP with the Building Planning
Staff. In a recent meeting with representatives of the Building
Planning Staff, the use of Shelf Filing was proposed as one solution
to the space problem in the new building. I intends to
discuss the problems of shelf file installation with other divisions
and staffs in DDP. He will advise them to contact the Records
Management Staff directly on any of their possible uses of this
system.

STAT
Division asked me to pursue with him the use of Shelf Filing.
On 6 December, 2 reviewed the space assigned to the 10 Division
in the new building and found that a vault approximately 10' x 30'
will be available. I suggested that begin to make STAT
some preliminary plans on the possible use of this vault area.
To begin, he should know:

viz, numerical, alphabetical
