=========================
Erin,

 We've done "sort of" a glossary on our web site.  We have taken the
OMB circulars applicable to universities and made a list of citations for
the locations of terms within the circulars.  Examples:

 Closeout
 A-110.A.2.(g) - 11/29/93 revision

 Cognizant agency
 A-87.B.6. - 5/17/95 revision
 A-128.5.a. - 4/12/85
 A-133.Attachment 1.b. - 3/16/90

 Commencement and convocation costs
 A-21.J.6. - 5/8/96 recompilation

 Commerical air travel
 A-21.J.48.c. - 5/8/96 recompilation
