FOREWARD

The subject matter of VA Manual MP-1 covers those activities of the
agency of a general administrative nature; hence, the manual is titled
"General Administrative."

For convenience in issuing, distributing and revising, the contents of
MP-1, are divided into parts I and II. Various activities are dealt with
in separate chapters and assigned to the part with which they have most
in common.

The practice will be to accompany new or revised chapters, changes or
additions with a consecutively numbered "transmittal." This will
summarize briefly the material transmitted, or the nature of the action
taken. The numbering will permit separate filing and afford a
cross-check for keeping MP-1 current.

The following identification system of numbers will be used:

a.  Chapters---numbered in the hundreds and above. Numbered
    consecutively throughout a part.

```{=html}
<!-- -->
```
b.  Sections -- numbered in the hundreds from 1 to 99. If subject matter
    or length of a chapter makes the use of sections undesirable, then
    no sections are required.

```{=html}
<!-- -->
```
c.  Paragraphs -- numbered from .01 to .99.

```{=html}
<!-- -->
```
d.  Examples -- 310.11 would be chapter 3, section 10, paragraph 11;
    1214.88 would be chapter 12, section 14, paragraph 88.
