PUBLICITY KIT

HONORING VETERANS STAMPPublicity Ideas to Interest the Media

Overview

The Honoring Veterans stamp will be issued on May 23,2001, in Washington, DC, and will go on sale nationwidethe same day. Local dedication ceremonies for the Honor-ing Veterans stamp can be held any time throughout theyear.

The United States has more than 25 million veterans;therefore, this stamp is expected to be of interest to manypeople in our country.

For information on the Department of Veterans Affairs,visit their Web site at www.va.gov. Information on, and linksto, veterans service organizations are available atwww.va.gov/vso/view.asp.

Postal Service employees can find an electronic versionof the Honoring Veterans Stamp publicity kit on the Intranetat http://blue.usps.gov. Click on References, then scrolldown and click on Postmaster Toolkits. This electronic ver-sion makes it easy to complete the fill-in-the-blank materi-als included in this kit.

Local and national publicity help increase commemora-tive stamp sales at Post Offices long after the date of is-suance. There are many ways to interest local media inyour Honoring Veterans stamp event.

Here are some methods to capture a reporter’sattention:

� Hold a stamp dedication ceremony (ceremonies canbe held on or after May 23) at a local VFW (Veteransof Foreign Wars) or American Legion hall, VeteransHospital, or your Post Office. Invite Congressional,community, and veterans service organization lead-ers to participate, and present them with panes of thestamp or an enlarged image of the stamp.

� The Postal Service employs approximately 800,000people, many of whom have served in the armedforces and many of whom continue to serve theircountry and fellow Americans by actively serving inthe National Guard or by working at veterans serviceorganizations. Recognize your local postal “heroes”at an Honoring Veterans stamp ceremony. InviteCongressional, community, and veterans service or-ganization leaders to participate.

� Hold a “Welcome Home” ceremony to the men andwomen of your community who have served in recentmilitary actions or maneuvers.

� Organize a group letter-writing project for the childrenof Postal Service employees and local school chil-dren. Projects initiated in the summer could involveyoungsters participating in YMCA camps and in orga-nizations such as the Boy Scouts, Girl Scouts, andCampfire Girls. The project could feature the writingand sending of “Thank You” letters or notes to local ornational veterans groups. A good photo opportunityfor the media would be for them to witness the chil-dren applying Honoring Veterans stamps to their let-ters and mailing them. A follow up with the mediacould include coverage of the veterans receiving andreading the letters.

� Coordinate an essay-writing contest or art contestusing an Honoring Veterans stamp theme. Ask localnewspaper editors to judge essays and select win-ners. Have local art teachers judge art entries. Andinvite winners to your stamp ceremony to recognizetheir work and present them with a pane of stamps orother philatelic collectible.

� Hold a flag-raising ceremony at your Post Office andcelebrate the community contributions made by localveterans and veterans groups. Invite Congressional,community, and veterans service organization lead-ers to participate. Stage a photo opportunity for themedia that would feature these leaders purchasingthe first Honoring Veterans stamps sold at your PostOffice.

� Hold an open house at your Post Office or plant. AskPostal Service employee veterans to be your hon-ored guests and/or hosts. Invite Congressional, com-munity, and veterans service organizations leaders.

Implement any of these ideas, combine them, or brain-storm with your employees to come up with an idea of yourown. Be sure to publicize each and every event to your lo-cal newspaper, radio, and television stations via press re-leases, media advisories, letters to the media, andfollow-up phone calls.

Speech Segment

Good [INSERT “MORNING” / “AFTERNOON”].

It is a tremendous honor for me to represent the UnitedStates Postal Service today as we unveil the HonoringVeterans stamp.

The unveiling of this stamp gives us a wonderful oppor-tunity to recognize and thank fellow Americans who haveserved our country and many who continue to servethrough veterans service organizations.

This stamp salutes all veterans who have served in theU.S. Armed Forces, whether in wartime or peacetime, inactive units, the reserves, or the National Guard.

With this stamp we recognize the vital and varied rolesveterans have played to ensure our peace, to stop aggres-sion, and to provide logistical support during crises.

Veterans account for more than 25 million Americans oralmost 1 in every 10 adults. And, more than a quarter of amillion of them are Postal Service employees.

The Postal Service has a long and distinguished historyof serving this country, not only through providing mail ser-vice to every American home and business, but also in itsrole as a leader in virtually every community.

Many Postal Service employees continue to serve ourcountry and fellow Americans by actively serving in theNational Guard or by working with one of the many veter-ans service organizations. We are extremely proud of thesePostal Service employees who have given of themselvesso that the rest of us can live in peace and security. We givethem thanks today.

It is my hope that the Honoring Veterans stamp will helpAmericans focus on the valor, courage, and dedication ofthese people, many of whom are our neighbors, friends,and family members. They work “behind the scenes” to en-sure a safe and secure environment for all of us.

And, now, if [INSERT NAMES OF CEREMONY PAR-TICIPANTS] would join me in unveiling the Honoring Veter-ans stamp…

I appreciate this opportunity to introduce this stamp toour customers and friends in this community. Thank youagain for taking the time to join us here today for this impor-tant occasion.

These proceduresare also included in Publication 25, Designing Letter andReply Mail.

BRM Permit Holder Responsibilities

To participate in the QBRM program, a BRM permitholder:

1. Pays the annual BRM permit fee. If you are using acorporate permit, submit a copy of the receipt thatshows the annual permit fee was paid. Payment ofone annual fee per permit number allows you toreceive BRM under that permit number at multiplelocations. You are still responsible for paying the ac-counting fees at your local Post Office.

2. Pays the annual BRM accounting fee. Although youmust pay the fee and establish an advance depositaccount, you are not required to use this accountsolely to pay for BRM charges (DMM S922.3.3).

3. Has the option to pay the quarterly fee, in addition tothe annual accounting fee, to qualify for high-volumeQBRM per piece charges. Like the annual account-ing fee, the optional quarterly fee must be paid ateach Post Office where mail is returned and for eachseparate billing desired. The quarterly fee can bepaid for any three consecutive calendar months andmailers can choose not to renew from one 3-monthperiod to the next. (DMM S922.7.0).

6. Uses a unique BRM ZIP+4 Code assigned by thePostal Service for each rate category (postcard, 1-ozletter, or 2-oz letter). The unique ZIP+4 Code mustappear on each BRM piece in the specified location.

7. Chooses one of the following two options to qualifyBRM pieces for QBRM rates:

a. Option 1: Submits 10 BRM printed samples for re-view with the completed QBRM application.

b. Option 2: Submits 10 paper samples cut to thesize of a finished QBRM piece, a pre-productionsample, or completed artwork for review (includesamples of ink colors with pre-production samplesor artwork) with the completed QBRM application.

8. Certifies that all future QBRM envelopes/cards will beproduced with equivalent paper stock and will meetpaper thickness dimensions by signing PS Form6805.

9. Receives written notification of acceptance or rejec-tion in QBRM program.

10. Makes corrections(s) and resubmits samples for test-ing and design approval if samples are rejected for theQBRM program.

11. Provides a finished QBRM sample (after printing) tothe mailpiece design analyst (MDA) who approved thepre-production sample for the Post Office(s) where themail is returned.

Note: After receiving approval for the QBRM program,the customer is not required to either reapply or submitadditional samples when pieces are reprinted with theZIP+4 Code assigned under that approval. Nevertheless, itis recommended that mailers work with their MDA to en-sure pieces meet postal standards.

Post Office Responsibilities

The manager, Business Mail Entry (District) or postmas-ter at the Post Office(s) where mail will be returned for-wards the application and accompanying samples to theMDA or designee for review.


Mailpiece Design Analyst (MDA) ResponsibilitiesDuring Approval Process

QBRM applications must be processed within 5 busi-ness days of receipt. If it is not possible to process the ap-plication within 5 business days for any reason, notify theapplicant. In addition, the MDA or designee:

1. Provides the mechanical barcode and facing identifi-cation mark (FIM) positive. Note: For pieces distrib-uted under QBRM, the address must include aunique ZIP+4 Code assigned to the piece. The ZIP+4 Code identifies the permit holder and rate category.

2. Provides support materials, such as:

a) Quick Service Guide 922.

b) DMM references S922 and E150.

3. Reviews the samples and completes page two of PSForm 6805. Note: Determine QBRM eligibility byevaluating the samples by DMM standards and notby running them on mail processing equipment.

4. If the sample meets all requirements:

a. Provide the customer with the approved PS Form6805 and pre-production samples marked“Approved.”

b. If the customer chose Option 1, forward oneQBRM sample to the Post Office(s) where themail will be returned.

c. If the customer chose Option 2, forward oneQBRM sample to the Post Office(s) where themail will be returned when the customer submitsthe sample pieces after printing.

d. Maintain copy of PS Form 6805 and QBRM sam-ple (paper samples or pre-production artwork) forrecords.

e. Return additional samples to the applicant withdisapproved PS Form 6805.

f. If the customer disputes the disapproval of PSForm 6805, advise the customer of appeal rightsunder DMM G020.3.0.

After receiving approval for the QBRM program, the cus-tomer is not required to either reapply or submit additionalsamples when pieces are reprinted with the ZIP+4 Codeassigned under that approval. However, since the ZIP+4Code identifies the rate category, the customer must submita new application for the QBRM rate if he or she plans todistribute pieces in a different rate category. For example, ifthe customer is authorized the QBRM rate for 1-ounce let-ters but subsequently decides to print and distribute cards,a separate PS Form 6805 must be submitted to receive thecards under the QBRM program. Under this scenario, thecustomer will be assigned a separate ZIP+4 Code for ac-counting purposes that must appear on the card ratepieces.

Reporting QBRM Irregularities

If QBRM pieces are found to cause problems duringprocessing, such as jamming automation equipment ordamage to the pieces themselves, report the problem onPS Form 6806, Mailpiece Irregularity/Resolution. PS Form6806 is available for employees through the Postal ServiceWeb site (click on Forms and then All Online PDF Forms inNumeric Order at www.usps.com). The form may be repro-duced locally as needed.

Employees who report a processing problem on PSForm 6806 must:

1. Make a copy of the mailpiece.

2. Send the PS Form 6806 and the copy of the mail-piece to the manager, Business Mail Entry (District)serving the delivery address on the piece.

When PS Form 6806 is received, the manager, Busi-ness Mail Entry (District) refers the matter to the appropri-ate MDA/designee.

Mailpiece Design Analyst ResponsibilitiesDuring Irregularity Review Process

1. Review the copy of the piece accompanying the PSForm 6806 and compare it to the QBRM samples onfile.

2. Contact the customer to resolve discrepancies be-tween the samples on file and the piece reported onPS Form 6806.

3. If the samples do not meet QBRM standards, request10 additional samples from the customer for testing.

4. If the 10 additional samples do not meet QBRM stan-dards, revoke the QBRM rates and advise the cus-tomer that new samples must be submitted underOption 1 or 2 to reapply for the QBRM program.

POM REVISION

Philatelic Policies and ProceduresEffective April 19, 2001, Postal Operations Manual

(POM) 8, subchapter 21, Philatelic Policies and Proce-dures, is revised to reflect changes to the criteria that theCitizens’ Stamp Advisory Committee uses to recommendall U.S. postage stamps and stationery. The changes re-flect recent developments in the U.S. stamp program, in-cluding the issuance of semipostals. In addition to thesubstantive changes, we also corrected typographical er-rors, references to certain stamp products, and addresses.

We will incorporate these revisions into the online POM8, which is available via the Policies and Procedures Webpage located at http://blue.usps.gov/cpim; select Manuals.We will also publish these revisions in the printed version ofPOM 9.

212 Stamps and Stationery Subjects

212.1 Selection

* * * * *[Add a new 212.2, renumber the current 212.2 as 212.3,revise 212.3, and add a new 212.4 to read as follows:]

212.2 Criteria for Eligibility

The Postal Service and the members of the Citizens’Stamp Advisory Committee (CSAC) use the following basiccriteria to determine the eligibility of subjects for commemo-ration on U.S. stamps and stationery:

a. It is a general policy that U.S. postage stamps andstationery primarily feature American or American-related subjects.

b. No living person is honored by portrayal on U.S.postage.

c. Commemorative stamps or postal stationery itemshonoring individuals usually are issued on or in con-junction with significant anniversaries of their birth,but no postal item is issued sooner than 10 years af-ter the individual’s death. The only exception to the


10-year rule is the issuance of stamps honoring de-ceased U.S. presidents. They may be honored with amemorial stamp on the first birth anniversary follow-ing death.

d. Events of historical significance are considered forcommemoration only on anniversaries in multiples of50 years.

e. Only events and themes of widespread national ap-peal and significance are considered for commemo-ration. Events or themes of local or regionalsignificance may be recognized by a philatelic or spe-cial postal cancellation, which may be arrangedthrough the local postmaster.

f. Stamps or stationery items are not issued to honorfraternal, political, sectarian, or service and charita-ble organizations. Stamps or stationery are not is-sued to promote or advertise commercial enterprisesor products. Commercial products or enterprisesmight be used to illustrate more general concepts re-lated to American culture.

g. Stamps or stationery items are not issued to honorcities, towns, municipalities, counties, primary or sec-ondary schools, hospitals, libraries, or similar institu-tions. Due to the limitations placed on annual postalprograms and the vast number of such locales, orga-nizations, and institutions in existence, it would bedifficult to single out any one for commemoration.

h. Requests for observance of statehood anniversariesare considered for commemorative postage stampsonly at intervals of 50 years from the date of thestate’s first entry into the Union. Requests for obser-vance of other state-related or regional anniversariesare considered only as subjects for postal stationery,and again only at intervals of 50 years from the dateof the event.

i. Stamps or stationery items are not issued to honorreligious institutions or individuals whose principalachievements are associated with religious undertak-ings or beliefs.

j. Stamps or postal stationery items with added values,referred to as semipostals, are issued every 2 yearsin accordance with Public Law 106253. Semipostalsare not considered part of the commemorative pro-gram, and separate criteria apply.

k. Requests for commemoration of universities and oth-er institutions of higher education are consideredonly for stamped cards and only in connection withthe 200th anniversaries of their founding.

l. No stamp will be considered for issuance if one treat-ing the same subject has been issued in the past 50years. The only exceptions to this rule are traditionalthemes such as national symbols and holidays.

212.3 Submission

Ideas for subjects must be submitted at least 3 years in ad-vance of the proposed date of issue. This allows the com-mittee enough time to consider the idea and to design andproduce the stamps, if the subject is approved. Send ideasfor stamp subjects that meet the criteria to the followingaddress:

CITIZENS’ STAMP ADVISORY COMMITTEEC/O STAMP DEVELOPMENTUS POSTAL SERVICE475 L’ENFANT PLZ SW RM 5670WASHINGTON DC 20260-2437

212.4 Approval and Design

Once a subject is approved, the Postal Service usually re-lies on design coordinators to help select artists who exe-cute the designs. The Postal Service does not review oraccept unsolicited artwork.

All Post Offices receive initial supplies of new stamp issueswithout requisition.

PS Form 8185, Vending Equipment License AgreementPS Form 8185, Vending Equipment License Agreement,

was revised in January 1999. Headquarters legal staff,along with Purchasing Policy and Self Service, updated theform to provide a consistent vehicle for placement of vend-ing equipment at non-Postal Service locations.

District retail managers have the delegated authority tosign PS Form 8185. It offers flexibility for retail managersworking with customers in placing, maintaining, and ex-tracting Postal Service property. Additionally, the form is re-quired for annual reporting to Purchasing Policy on placingequipment in minority- and women-owned businesses.

Remember to use PS Form 8185 in all instances wherePostal Service equipment will be placed at non-Postal Ser-vice locations.

REMINDER

Setting Mechanical Meters Is ProhibitedEffective September 3, 1999, setting mechanical post-

age meters was discontinued. The withdrawal of mechani-cal meters remaining with customers and discontinuance ofall settings is a result of the high security risk these meterspose to our revenue. Although no longer authorized, someoffices have continued to set these meters, which is hinder-ing our effort to eliminate the security risk. Our effort to with-draw mechanical meters from service relies on yourcooperation in not setting mechanical meters.

Mechanical postage meters are those that require aPostal Service employee to open the meter and physicallymove registers to add postage.

The following are the models that you must not set:

Manufacturer Model NumberPostalia MS5 and KF1501

Neopost 922X and 923X

Pitney Bowes 53XX and 57XX

Ascom 133, 143, 13XXX, 25XXX, 43XX, 54XX,55XXX,58XX, 62XX, 63XX, 75XXX,76XXX, 92XX, 93XX, 96XX, 97XX,98XX, 99XX

“X” represents any additional number.

You may still set meters with electronic registers that donot have the above model numbers.
