Description: After gathering information from the Bureau's 6300 Manual as modified by Andy Wenchell for the State of Colorado, Don Bruns compiled a "here's how" booklet for implementing the new VRM system. Why created specifically for the Craig District Office, the concepts and orderly approach could act as a model for other Districts. Includes original photographs taken within the Craig District, and a map overlay section, assembled for an area about ten miles southwest of Craig, for ready use on-the-ground. Working section consists of six color-coded sections covering the six phases of VRM. Brief 'Concepts' section provides a greater appreciation and understanding of the ideas behind VRM -- to help you 'get it together'.
Notes: Cover title.

Five memorandums of distribution, dated August 24, 1976, are enclosed.
