----------------------------Original message---------------------------- Hello All, At present, the State of Wyoming has one part-time person in our State Engineer's office in charge of providing comments on Geographic names proposed for Wyoming, and I assume forwarding suggestions to the U.S. Board of Geographic names. That person is proposing a committee to allow the work to be spread out. I am not familiar with the legalities of proposing and submitting geographic names in other states. If your state government has a policy regarding the proposal of geographic names, and some type of organization that acts on them, could you send me a description of your state's procedures and the organization of the group that acts on them? This is one of those reference questions that I need help on. Linda Zellmer [log in to unmask] Tape the following address to an envelope containing any information you can find. Thanks a lot.
