| | STANDARD CODING SYSTEM - APPENDIX A |
 | | CRM recommends the standard coding system be used whenever there is a need to file by the name of a federal government department, branch, directorate, agency, board, council, commission, or other office. |
 | | The system is logical and expandable, and codes are usually recognizable since they are based upon the significant words in the proper title or name of organizations, meetings, committees, associations, legislation, and other discrete file units. |
 | | Moreover, if an acronym is already incorporated into the proper name or title of a file unit or is commonly and logically associated with the function dealt with, it should be used to comprise as many of the four letters as possible. |
