President Clinton, in his memorandum of June 1, 1998, called for the use of plain language in Government writing. The memorandum covers any document that is available or sent to the public. In addition to regulations and notices, this includes directives and other policy documents, forms, letters, instructions, and Internet pages.   By January 1, 2002, all documents that are in effect must be in plain language. We must revise all documents that do not meet this standard. The Department of the Interior issued DOI plain language policy in a June 10, 1998, memorandum from the Chief of Staff.  Fish and Wildlife Service Director's Order No. 101, July 20, 1998, implements the President's memorandum for the Service. The Director approved our Plain Language Plan on May 27, 1999, and submitted it to the Department. A plain language document contains information that meets your intended audience's needs.  Present complex or technical information in an orderly and clear way so that your audience will have the best possible chance to understand it.  Plain language documents are organized logically and are easy to understand and read.  Use: Question and answer format. Common, everyday words.  Use technical terms only when necessary. Personal pronouns like I, we, and you. Active voice. Short sentences. Hope Grey is the Service's Plain Language Coordinator.
