JUDITH HOPKINS AT SUNY BUFFALO, thanks for your report concerning the
LITA MARC HOLDINGS INTEREST GROUP MEETING, on Saturday, 12 January 1991 at
ALA Midwinter.  I'm unclear, however, about what appendixes you are referring
to in the following excerpts:

>A handout containing the proposed agenda for the
>Preconference on the MARC Holdings Format, scheduled for Atlanta
>on Friday, 28 June 1991, was distributed.  (Appendix B)  The IG
>is also planning a joint program with the LITA/ALCTS
>Retrospective Conversion Interest Group on the recon of holdings
>on Sunday, 30 June 1991 ...

               <TEXT DELETED>

>     The second half of this meeting was devoted to a January
>1991 proposal for a shared pattern database that Linda Miller of
>LC and Bonnie Postlethwaite of Tufts had drafted. (Appendix C)
>Opinion diverges on the question of building a database of

>Someone asked if the Holdings format can be used for prediction
>and claiming purposes; the answer was sometimes Yes and sometimes
>No ...
              <REMAINING TEXT DELETED>

Would you be willing to elaborate on what appendixes you refer to?
Do they have something to do with the appendixes in the USMARC Format
for Holdings Data manual?  Clarification would be appreciated.  Thanks.
