Used them in offices back in the day. Had an original and duplicate.
Duplicate was given to whoever the message was for and book held all the originals for record

“Autovon” was an old US military communication system decades ago. So I assume it is form from some US military facility in the 1980s based on that form, which says 1986.
GSA = General Services Administration
Looks like someone just used old military stationary as a bookmark.

It’s looks like it’s a page from a memo pad for recording messages. These were common before voicemail/the internet.
An assistant would answer the phone, record the message on this sheet and hand it to their boss when they returned.
The mention of Autovon and FTS along with the form I’d makes me think it’s a US General Services Administration memo pad. Probably for military use.
Looks like a Standard Form 63, sometime around revision 8-81 if I’m not mistaken.

Very cool, that is a page from an old US government phone message notepad. The form numbers in the lower right hand corner indicate the official version as of August 1981 (8-81), and the form is issued by GSA which is the General Services Administration. CFR is the Code of Federal Regulations in the U.S., and the section 41 CFR 101 is the federal regulation addressing government property, which GSA controls. It seems silly to have a form for phone messages, b it so many messages were handed around on paper back in the day that it really helped to have a standard format.

Autovon was a US military phone network, and per comment here FTS was a federal equivalent – so a message pad from some official US organisation?
