2. What i s t h e d i f f e r e n c e between KF...47 and KF...57 i n t h e U.S. states and t e r r i t o r i e s schedule? Is t h e l a t t e r t o be used f o r non-o f f i c i a l items?

Answer: KFA-KFW,KFZ 47 is f o r law r e p o r t s of va r ious c o u r t s . The

47.1 would be f o r a d i g e s t of a s p e c i f i c t i t l e c l a s sed i n 47. d i f f e r e n c e between 47.1, d i g e s t s , and 57, d i g e s t s of var ious r e p o r t s , can be a problem. 57 is f o r a d i g e s t t h a t d i g e s t s s e v e r a l d i f f e r e n t t i t l e s of cour t r e p o r t s , such as t h e West's d i g e s t of va r ious s t a t e s .

Answer: Cal J u r was c l a s sed i n KFC by LC.

Many of t h e records you questioned

I have removed t h e heading from Occupations--Law

Airplanes--Maintenance and repair--Law and l e g i s l a t i o n 76-373113 was cataloged i n 1977 and --Law and l e g i s l a t i o n should have been e s t ab l i shed a f t e r Airplanes--Maintenance and r e p a i r a t t h e time of catalog- ing.
