LIST OF ^BBREVI^TIOlSrS 



Abbreviations are used in addresses only where they are a secondary 

 part of the address, as in the case of states or provinces. Two exceptions 

 to this are the consistent use of U.S.A. and U.S.S.R. The names of some 

 governmental organizations which are customarily written as initials 

 (e.g., WVINGI) are written out in full whenever we could learn the full 

 name. The unknown abbreviations are not listed here.
