- Technical Assistance from the Document Design Project: Report at the End of Year One. Consultation Programs Government Publications Information Services Program Descriptions Program Implementation Public Agencies Publicity Readability Technical Assistance Technical Writing Workshops Four activities of the Document Design Project (DDP) in its first year of operation are described in this report. The activities described are: (1) dissemination of information about the project; (2) creation of information services, including a library of more than 450 items; (3) development of a three-day course on document simplification, which was attended by people from 15 federal agencies; and (4) development of 16 technical assistance projects designed to build the capacity of federal agency staff members to design clear, comprehensible documents. A large portion of the report is devoted to descriptions of the scope and status of each of these projects. Appendixes present letters of appreciation from three federal agencies, a reprint of a "Higher Education Daily" article on a study of the complexity levels of basic grant applications, a list of conferences attended by DDP staff members, and a list of participants in DDP workshops.
