Definitions

all personnel assigned a desk and a specific stationary working space are to have a stack of three baskets. The top basket, labeled "in," should contain those items and dispatches still to be looked at. The middle basket, labeled "pending," is to contain those items which havebeen looked at, but which cannot be dealt with immediately. The bottom basket, labeled "out," is to contain those items which have been dealt with and are now ready for distribution into the comm lines again, or to files, etc. (HCO PL 30 Mar 66)
