ABSTRACT

It is the writing of the continuation page-the narrative part of your

report-that determines where you stand or fall as a writer. On the face

page, blanks are provided and the sequence is arranged. Once you have

learned the format and correct abbreviations to use, the writing is fairly

simple, especially in large agencies that have individualized forms for

many procedures. In many agencies, versatility may be required, particu-

larly when one employee handles more than one phase of the work or

when a single face page is used for most types of reports. Reports in

these agencies sometimes combine the face page and the continuation

page (for example, see Figure 4.1).
