A memo unearthed by the Washington Monthly:

OFFICE OF THE GENERAL COUNSEL
Division of Operations-Management

MEMORANDUM OM 95-65
August 23, 1995

To:

All Regional Directors, Officers-in-Charge, and Resident Officers

FROM:

B. Allan Benson, Acting Associate General Counsel

SUBJECT:

Form Number Change
"Notice to Employees"

It has been brought to our attention that in at least one election, employees may have refused to vote because of their religious beliefs; that is, as regards Form NLRB-666 (Notice to Employees), they interpreted "666" as the NLRB's display of the "mark of the devil." Therefore, to ensure the form's number does not discourage voter participation, the form has been renumbered to Form NLRB-5492 and 5492 SP (Spanish version).

Replacement versions have been ordered and will be sent to you by August 31, 1995. Forms with the "666" should be discarded when the new forms are received.

If you have any questions, please contact your Assistant General Counsel.

B.A.B.
