520	3		_aThis essay examines 'What is a policy?' from the viewpoint of a public servant trying to make sense of the maze of official statements, procedures, guidelines and various other expressions of intra-governmental opinion that might bear upon a discretionary decision. It seeks to clarify the meaning and status of policy, to explain how to determine cases which are not covered by explicit statements of policy, and to decide how much relative weight to accord to various policy documents and circumstances. Although it does not set out to rehash the old debate about the distinction between policy and administration )often misunderstood as a distinction between policy and administration), it finds Woodrow Wilson's 1886 aphorism on this subject a good place to start
