Go-by.

[Mark Odegard]

>From the President's 11 October news conference (snipped from transcript at
Wasington Post site):

--start quote--
The actions my government takes in concert with
other countries, the actions we take at home to
defend ourselves will serve as a go-by for future
presidents or future prime ministers in Britain, for
example, or future FBI directors.
--end quote--

A go-by. I don't think this is new, but it's certainly the first time I've
heard it. I suppose it means something like 'precedent, procedure manual',
'the thing you go by'.
