USE OF A REGISTRY NUMBER AS THE DOCUMENT NUMBER
1. Ascertaining the unique number of a document -- as discussed
in RRP 78-22 of 28 April 1978 -- is important for computer matching and
identification of duplicate documents in the DARE system. In most cases,
such as those of finished intelligence or series documents, identifying
the unique number of the document is no great problem. In some types of
material, however, especially correspondence that may have only a registry
number -- or worse yet, several registry numbers -- the decision is not
easy.
2. If a reviewer must use a registry number in the absence of a
document number, the registry. number must meet two requirements. First,
it must be the registry number of the office originating the correspon-
dence, as spelled out in paragraph 7 of CRP 78-38 dated 11 October 1978.
Second, the number must be typed on the document or written in ors an
official registry stamp in such a manner that the reviewer is reasonably
certain that it will appear on all copies of that.. document.`' If this is
not the case, enter the document as unnumbered by drawing a line through
the document number field on form 4023A.
3. Examples:
a. Usable registry numbers:
ER-4-7805 or
b. Registry numbers not usable-as document numbers:
Ek-5--770V or
