This form is divided into two parts; the Project Information Section (Part I) and the
Master Calendar of Events Section (Part II). Part I must be filled out as completely
as possible for each project or event. Part 11 should be filled out for each event as
defined in the attached "Glossary of BINET Input Form Terms." Using this Glos-
sary and the instructions on the form, it will be easy for a project submitter to fill
out the forms. Please follow the instructions exactly. This will enable operators to
keypunch the information directly from these forms.
In filling out the descriptive portions of Part I, standard or easily recognizable
abbreviations are not only acceptable but strongly encouraged so as to include as
much information as possible. Please do not exceed the number of spaces given
on the form for such items.
If possible, please submit this form through your State Bicentennial organization
for its knowledge and approval, and submission to BINET. If this is not possible,
please send them a courtesy copy.
Immediately upon entry into BINET the sponsor organization and the State Bi-
centennial Organization(s) concerned will be sent a copy of all the information
entered into BINET for the particular project. This will be for information and
editing purposes, if necessary. All correspondence should reference the project
number assigned by ARBC.
INCLUSION OF A PROJECTOR EVENT IN BINET DOES NOT IMPLY
OFFICIAL RECOGNITION AT THE NATIONAL LEVEL.
This form is provided for additional events that have the same project classification
and presentation form. If the project classification and/or presentation form is
different for any additional event, a new complete project input form must be
completed for each such event.
Any changes or additions to any of the information concerning a project should
be promptly submitted to BINET, 736 Jackson Place, N.W., Washington, D.C. 20276.
