Footnotes

  1. As previously noted, the USMS categorized as "unauthorized destruction," items that were accidentally destroyed or were destroyed without authorization; these items are designated in the table as O; stolen items are designated S; and lost items are designated L.

  2. In some cases, the USM-134s or other loss documents lacked sufficient information with which to calculate the time elapsed or determine timeliness.  These are denoted CND.

  3. As stated on page 10, the USMS has not yet submitted a 2001 report.  Therefore, all 2001 losses are denoted NO* to show that the report for the period of loss has not been filed.

  4. These items were subsequently found.
