Book Description

Excerpt from Specifications for Descriptions of Tracts of Land: For Use in Executive Orders and Proclamations A. D. Kidder, General Land Office, Chairman; S. W. Boggs, Department of State; C. H. Squire, Forest Service; W. T. Paine, General Land Office. The original edition, entitled Specifications for Descriptions of Tracts of Land for Use in Executive Orders and Proclamations, was completed and published in 1931, and reissued, with some corrections as to procedure, in 1941. The functions connected with the preparation and presentation of Executive orders and proclamations, formerly performed by the Department of State, are now carried on by the Division of the Federal Register, the: National Archives, under the provisions of the Federal Register Act, approved July 26, 1935. This has introduced certain changes in procedure and requirements and has rendered inapplicable some of the material contained in the first edition. Further experience in the use of the specifications during the ten-year period which has elapsed since their first publication has indicated the need for additional explanatory text and examples.
