Peggy -

 The NSF 95-26 is the correct number.  The NSF 95-27 on the GPM was
a mis-print.  NSF 95-27 is the new GPG.

 I'm basing this on an email I rec'd from the NSF Policy Office.  I
contacted NSF when the GPO would not let me subscribe to the GPM.  The GPO
said publication would be delayed because there were some mistakes in the
document that NSF was correcting.  The NSF Policy Office subsequently said
the minor corrections had been made and copies were ready.  I called GPO
back and was able to order.  I'm guessing that this was one of the
corrections.
