       Date: October 31, 2003



       Subject: Machine repair annual statistics report

       NLS is asking machine-lending agencies (MLAs) to provide information
       about the number of machine repairs they coordinated during fiscal year 2003.
       This information will be used in developing the NLS machine-repair budget.
       Each subregional library is asked to complete the report and submit a copy to
       its regional library by November 14, 2003. Regional libraries that are not
       MLAs should then provide a summary to their MLA. Each MLA should send
       a report containing a combined total that includes all repair activities in its
       area to NLS by November 21, 2003.

       __Important note:__ The U.S. Postal Service mail delivery at NLS is still
       disrupted. All reports from MLAs to NLS should be sent via fax or e-mail.
       To fax, use a cover page directing the fax to "Engineering, ERO" at (202)
       707-0712. To e-mail, use the subject line "Repair survey" send the report to
       <[log in to unmask]>. Be sure that the report identifies the reporting MLA.

       For further information contact:

       Equipment Repair Officer
