Reader’s notes
p. 30. The crop is Chart No. 13 ("DECISIONS ISSUED 1/", subtitle "(Excludes UD, AC, and UC Decisions)"), a stacked bar chart with its data printed as a small table beneath the plot. Only that data table is transcribed: the stub holds the two legend keys C and R (each preceded by its black / stippled legend swatch, not transcribed) and the Totals line, and the columns are the fiscal-year labels 1964-1974 from the chart's x axis, with the printed stub heading "Fiscal Year" (set on two lines, joined here). The y-axis scale labels (0 through 5,000) and the axis caption "Proceedings" are chart scale, not table columns, so they are omitted. In the R row the 1971 value is printed as 2,962 followed by a small stray tick/apostrophe-like mark before the 1972 value; I read it as a scanning artifact rather than a footnote marker. Every column's C + R equals the printed Totals, so the figures are internally consistent as printed. The surrounding body text on the page is not part of the table.
