CHAPTER 5: Information Communications

5.1 General.

Type or legibly handwrite and proofread information communications. Use one of the techniques outlined in this chapter.

5.2 Routing Slip

5.2.1. Use NASA Form 26 , NASA Routing Slip. Use NASA Form 26 to direct correspondence or other documents to one or more addressees within NASA (see Figure 5-1).

Figure 5-1) illustrates three methods for using the Routing Slip: 1) routing a document to an individual; 2) routing to an individual with information copies to other individuals; and (3) routing to several officials in a specific order, with indicators of the purposes for routing to each.

Use Standard Form 63, Memorandum of Call, to inform office personnel of a telephone call or a visitor. See Figure 5-2.

Accurately record the caller's or visitor's name. When in doubt, ask for the proper spelling of the name. Obtain the origin of the call, the telephone number (including the area code), and the nature of the call to facilitate the return of the call. Always indicate the date and time of the call.

5.4 Executive Message Recording Pad.

Use the Executive Message Recording Pad to document official telephone conversations when necessary. This form is designed to retain a carbon copy of all the pertinent information that is recorded. It can be ordered on GSFC Form 20-7A by referencing NSN 7510-01-357-6830. See Figure 5-3).
