December 1:961 dated 3 June 1963 T.s tendbook is revised to update all correspondence practices and to pro-- vide for the changes necessary since its initial publication in 19 . New topics included in this Handbook are Reports, Minutes and Agenda, the Speed- letter, and the Memorandum Form OF 10. A major change in the style format is introduced in the Handbook. The modi- fied block style will be adopted for all memorandums and letters. By using the block style this Agency will conform to the standard style and format prescribed for Oovornment-wide use. Adherence to a standard format and uni- form appearance will increase correspondence efficiency. Where special types of communications are required, the special instructions and Agency regulations pertaining to these will govern their preparation. Some practices which will speed up the preparation and processing of cor- respondence are the wider use of the Office Memorandum Formj use of the Speedletter, wherever possible; greater use of properly designed forms and form letters; making minor corrections with pen and ink rather than re- typing the entire letter; and keeping dictated letters and copies to a bare minimum. You are encouraged to utilize these practices to expedite cor- respondence. All personnel who prepare or process correspondence will find some portion of the Handbook of interest to them. Revisions will be made as necessary and supplemental information issued for incorporation in the Handbook. Suggestions for its improvernsent will always be welcomed. L. K.
