We've been looking at PCC statistics for new series authorities and I
thought I'd share my findings with everyone, so that we have a better
understanding of what the PCC would be making up for now that LC has
ceased creating series authorities. I've looked at statistics for
fiscal years 2004 and 2005, and 7 months of stats available for
FY2006. I'd like to thank Carolyn Sturtevant of the LC Coop. Cat.
Team for obtaining for me the numbers for LC's production in
FY2006.<br><br>
