Reader’s notes

p. 107. Eleven columns: stub plus Number/Percent pairs for All R, RC, RM, RD and UD cases. No footnote text is printed on this crop. The caption (excluded per instructions) carries a raised "1" after "Fiscal Year 2008", so the corresponding footnote text presumably sits elsewhere on the page or was trimmed by the crop; nothing is visible below the final rule, which falls immediately under the "By Board decision" row. The "After:" line is a section label with no values; its data cells are empty as printed. All counts are internally consistent as transcribed, which supports the digit readings: in every case-type column the three component totals (Certification issued + By withdrawal + By dismissal) sum to "Total, all" (e.g. 1,877 + 1,157 + 132 = 3,166), the five election-method lines sum to "Certification issued, total" (75 + 1,579 + 0 + 134 + 89 = 1,877), and each indented stage breakdown sums to its parent line. No printed value appears to be a misprint. The label "After Regional Director's decision and direction of election" and "By Regional Director's decision" use a typographic apostrophe in the original; transcribed with a plain apostrophe.
