NOMINATIONS, REPORTS, DOCUMENTS, LAWS

GENERAL RULES FOR NOMINATIONS

The rules governing document work apply to nominations and withdrawals, except as here noted.

Matter is set in 10 point, double leaded.

All nominations take current date, and the legislative day added when neces(Sample of each form is shown on following pages.)

sary.

In withdrawals, follow the date on copy and also the wording of the date line. Spell everything except year, day of month, section, page, paragraph numbers, and any serial number where the word numbered is used or implied.

Omit the words I nominate in all nominations, no matter how or where written in_copy.

In single nominations (that is, where only one person is named) where the words I nominate begin a paragraph in copy, indent the paragraph 61⁄2 ems. This applies to Army and Navy as well as civilian nominations. (See sample 1, p. 234.) In Army and Navy nominations where only lists of names are given, set flush in half measure where there are four or more in a group. If less than four, set each name as a paragraph, full measure. (See sample 2, p. 234.)

Where civilian nominations have more than one person named, each name is set as a separate nomination (except where otherwise prepared), following the form of postmasters; that is, each separate carries the same nomination number, with the black superior figure, and is set as a plain paragraph. Indent these 1 em only. (See sample 3, p. 235.) Those that are to be grouped (a number of names printed as one nomination) are nominations to or promotions in the Coast Guard, Coast and Geodetic Survey, Public Health Service, Military Service, Naval Service, and Diplomatic and Consular Service (except where consul, minister, or ambassador is named to a specific country).

If nomination contains an explanatory note, enclose note in parentheses and place just before the blank date line at bottom.

Note that the word confirmed is set in italic in the recommendation line. Reinstatement, Reappointment, or similar statement, if a sentence at the end of a nomination, is placed in parentheses. (See sample 3, p. 235.)

The President's signature indicates the end of a nomination, but is printed only in a withdrawal (see sample 5, p. 237), or in a withdrawal and nomination combined.

Capitalize the word Arm when synonymous with Corps, as Cavalry Arm, Infantry Arm, etc.

In post-office nominations, if superior figures are used in connection with the bracketed figure at the left, bear off from the outside of the bracket. Use black superior figure. (See sample 3, p. 235.)

A nomination confirmed without reference to a committee is printed as a message only.

Style of messages and Executive Journal extracts is shown in samples 6 and 7, on pages 237 and 239, respectively.

Note the use of the words I nominate in paragraphs in the messages.
