Most likely, you'll still want to narrow it to the people.  Your likely
base is 'ou=People,o=uswest.com,c=US'.
That's Organizational Unit = People,
       Organization        = uswest.com
       Country             = US         (this is always uppercase)

It would be unusual for the c=US to not be there.  While possible, it'd
be going against best common practice.

It's always more specific to less specific in a dn or Distinguished Name
in the same way that a domain name is structured.
