FORMAT The Index is in two sections: (1) Member/Subject Index, and (2) Appendices. Mem ber/Subject Index: Main entry in this section is a subject heading which may be subdivided. Following the main entry are secondary headings, "see" and "see also" references, and a listing of individuals who spoke on that subject. Appendices: Included in this section is a complete list of Oral Questions by department, Members of Executive Council, and Chairpersons of Standing and Special Committees. FILING ARRANGEMENT The basic filing principle is alphabetical, letter by letter. The sequence is as follows: a) numbers are filed at the beginning of the alphabet, if they are the first character in the filing element. b) initials separated by punctuation, abbreviations, acronyms without interior punctuation are filed at the beginning of their alphabetic group.
