<br />c <br /> <br />The electronic format for your reports should be: <br /> <br />WordPerfect 5.x (WordPerfect 6.x also is acceptable. Just note the version for us, please. <br />If you don't have WordPerfect, any word-processor format is preferable to ASCII, <br />just please note the format.) <br />12-point font <br />I" top, right, & left margins <br />0.5" bottom margin <br />Page numbers at bottom center in the format Project number-Page number (e.g., for FWS <br />Program Management, Project #3, the pages would be numbered 3-1, 3-2, etc.). <br /> <br />Please do not consider annual reports to be just a paper exercise. They must explain the progress <br />and findings of each project in order to provide the information needed by Program managers, <br />coordinators, and participants to properly evaluate and guide efforts to recover the endangered <br />fishes. If you have questions about report content or need any help preparing your report(s), <br />please contact the appropriate Program coordinator, and they will be happy to help you. <br /> <br />I have asked each Management Committee representative to make sure that the appropriate <br />individuals are aware of their responsibility for responding to this request and see that annual <br />reports for their agency or organization's projects are professionally done, submitted on time, and <br />in the format outlined in this memorandum. <br /> <br />Again, reports are due to the appropriate Program coordinator no later than noon on Tuesday, <br />December 8. In past years, my office has quickly compiled the reports, had them copied, then <br />sent them out to Program participants before Christmas. Based on comments we received last <br />year, this year we will more thoroughly review each report and work with authors to make any <br />needed revisions before printing and distributing the FY 98 annual report package. Assuming we <br />receive high-quality reports, we will be able to review, copy, and distribute them quickly. <br /> <br />THANKS <br /> <br />I realize that preparing and presenting annual reports is a significant burden on our research and <br />technical Program participants. However, Program evaluation is a key to an efficient and <br />effective recovery effort. I encourage you to take these reporting requirements seriously, as the <br />information obtained in the annual reporting process will have a significant effect on any <br />RIPRAP updates and future funding considerations (see schedule, Attachment 3). <br /> <br />I appreciate your effort and cooperation in the Recovery Program's reporting process. If you have <br />questions, please contact me, Angela Kantola, or the appropriate coordinator. <br /> <br />Attachments <br />
