1. At the Executive Committee Meeting of 16 July 1969 the Director
read several sentences from Employee Bulletin No. 210 dated 23 June 1969,
"Change in Maryland State Income Tax Law. " The Director pointed out
his difficulty in understanding the content of the Bulletin and asked the DD/S
to take the necessary action to clarify the content of future Employee Bulletins.

in clear, concise and simple language so that the contents can be readily
understood. Please avoid long, rambling, qualified sentences that have highly
technical meaning but have little public interpretation. It should be kept in
