Subject:  Distribution of Directives

        Offices currently provide a camera-ready copy of a directive
        to the printing Branch (Room B-100), Management Services
        Division, Office of Administrative and Management Services
        (OAMS), Office of Administration.  The Printing Branch uses
        this hard copy for initial distribution of the directive.

        Effective immediately, offices should also provide the Printing
        Branch with a diskette of the complete directive--for use in the
        electronic distribution of directives via HUDCLIPS.  The diskette
        should be in WordPerfect format:

        o  For a handbook original or revision prepared on the Local
           Area Network's template for HUD Handbooks--Provide a diskette
           containing all the files for the complete, final version of the
           handbook (final text, headers and footers, any graphics, etc.).

        o  For a handbook original or revision not prepared on the
           Local Area Network's template for HUD Handbooks--Provide a
           diskette, as above, but review the file and insert, as necessary,
           the information usually typed on the transmittal (handbook
           number, issue date, correspondence code, distribution, etc.).
           The program office is responsible for assuring that the file is
           accurate and complete.

        o  For a handbook Change or for another kind of directive such
           as a notice--Provide a diskette (in WordPerfect format) of
           the complete, final directive.

        Instead of using a diskette, offices may send the complete
        directive as a WordPerfect file via cc:mail to Brenda Smoot in
        the OAMS Management Services Division, with a "cc:" to Bill
        Gordon in the Printing Branch.  The directive may be up to 200
        pages long.
