The attachment below is transcribed as printed. Its AWBA column says “4/1/99 - 6/30/99” despite the October–December 1998 period in the title and letter. “Arkansa” is the source spelling. The Oklahoma and West Virginia rounded minimum entries conflict with the calculations in their rows; they have not been recalculated.
