Distribution of Proclamations and Diagrams- 

 Following is the present procedure in issuing proclamations and diagrams: One hun- 

 dred diagrams with proclamations are filed in the Washington office of the Forest 

 Service and the same number are forwarded to the State Department and to the 

 General Land Office. One hundred also are forwarded to the District Forester and 

 the same number to the supervisor of the Forest concerned. Of the diagrams without 

 Droclamations 100 copies are retained for use of the Washington office and one-half 

 the balance of the supply printed (amounting to either 100, 150, or 200 copies, accord- 

 ing to the urgency of the demand) are forwarded to the District Forester, and the 

 other half to the supervisor. In case the supervisor's supply of diagrams becomes 

 exhausted he is expected to make requisition upon the District Forester. In case 

 the supply of the District Forester becomes exhausted and additional copies of the 

 diagrams, either with or without proclamations, are needed, requisition should be 

 made upon the Forester. 



Supplies of Proclamations and Diagrams- 

 Supervisors needing additional copies of proclamations or of National Forest 

 diagrams should requisition them from the District Office. The District offices 

 will maintain a supply of proclamations and diagrams, submitting requisitions to 

 the Forester.
