     Apparently the memo transcribed below did not go through Maps-L as an
attachment.  Hope it works this time.  Please post your reactions.  A
number of people concerned with map cataloging seem to have an interest in

It would also be very important to the Task Force if the Divisions and the
other units indicate if they have established any standards or Guidelines,

Thanks, LaDonna Kienitz
