HCOB lists,
Executive Directives,
Ethics Orders,
Project Orders,
Conditions Orders,
Flag Conditions Orders, Evaluations,
Flag Bureau Data Letters, and all such
mimeo issues that carry a number must be so numbered that two or more
issues that
refer to the same
situation carry the same number plus a hyphen and number (A or -2) so they can be referred back by the reader to the original.
Example: a
Committee of
Evidence, let us say, is No. 1304. The
findings of that
Comm Ev are not
given a new number. The
findings are No. 1304-1. If a
Review Comm Ev is then done, it is then numbered No. 1304-2. The reader at once knows (with the hyphen and 2) that two earlier
issues exist (original and -1) and what the number is.
