STAMP ANNOUNCEMENT 02-16
The Postal Service will issue 23-cent Carlsbad Caverns
National Park single-cut stamped card (Item 221100) on
June 7, 2002, in Carlsbad, New Mexico. The card,
designed by Carl Herrman, Carlsbad, California, and illustrated by Tom Engeman, Brunswick, Maryland, goes on
sale nationwide June 7, 2002. The stamped card will also
be produced in double-cut reply cards (Item 221200); sheet
of 40 cards (Item 221300); and 5-card banded (Item
222000).
More than 1,000 years ago prehistoric Native Americans
ventured into Carlsbad Cavern in New Mexico seeking
shelter. Much later, in the 1800s, settlers discovered the
cavern, drawn to it by the spectacle of hundreds of thousands of bats rising up out of the natural entrance in the
evening. The natural wonders of this extraordinary place
eventually spread to Washington, DC. In 1923, the U.S.
Interior Department sent inspectors to investigate the cavern and determine whether it was truly an outstanding natural scenic wonder. Later that year, Carlsbad Cavern was
proclaimed a national monument. On December 6, 1995,
the cavern was designated a World Heritage Site. Finds in
recent years include the Guadalupe Room in 1966, which is
the second largest room in the cavern, the exceptionally
colorful and much decorated Bifrost Room in 1982, and the
Chocolate High in 1993. Research is slowly answering
many questions about the complex creation of the cavern,
the unfamiliar world of bats and other members of the cave
community, and the effects of man's activities on the cave.
Customers have 30 days to obtain the first day of issue
postmark by mail. They may purchase new cards at their
local Post Office, by telephone at 800-STAMP-24, and at
the Postal Store Web site at www.usps.com. They should
address the cards (to themselves or others) and place them
in a large envelope addressed to:

NEW PERFORMANCE TOOL
Employee Development, in partnership with the Center
for Creative Leadership and PBS The Business and
Technology Network, offers Postal Service leaders a real-
time performance support tool called LEAD - Leadership
Excellence at the Desktop.
LEAD is designed for high-potential and seasoned
managers, executives, and anyone else who manages or
supervises.
LEAD's features include:
• Interactive exercises.
• Audio and video-streamed role-plays.
• E-mail links.
• Frequently asked questions.
• Notebook that enables personalized comments to
assist in continuous improvement.
LEAD's programs include:
• Developing Effective Interpersonal Relationships.
• Adapting to Change.
• Building and Leading a Team.
• Meeting Business Objectives.
• Developing a Broad Organizational Perspective.
LEAD is based on management and leadership research conducted by the Center for Creative Leadership -
the research base used to support the Postal Service's
Advanced Leadership Program. Note: Because LEAD is a
support tool, not a training course, the Postal Service cannot provide training hours for LEAD.
You can order LEAD from the Material Distribution Center (MDC) by one of the following means:
• Touch tone order entry: Call the MDC at
800-332-0317, choose option 1, then option 2.
• E-mail: Complete PS Form 7380, MDC Supply
Requisition (manually or by F3 Fill), and send it as an
attachment to the e-mail address MDC Customer
Service.
• Mail: Complete and mail PS Form 7380 to the MDC
at the following address:

FIELD NOTIFICATION
Effective May 1, 2002, postal employees stopped resetting meters for customers unless the customer had an original meter resetting authorization letter as described in
Postal Bulletin 22072 (3-21-02, page 108). Unfortunately,
errors occurred and some customers did not receive reset
authorization letters. Many of those errors were brought to
our attention as customers received follow-up letters.
When manufacturers were notified of a problem, they
sent information to Postage Technology Management
(PTM) requesting that new letters be issued; however,
some customers needed immediate assistance. In order to
minimize any disruption to those mailer's businesses, PTM
sent an emergency e-mail message to the customer. The
message authorized local postal employees to reset the
meter(s), described by manufacturer, model, and serial
number, for a specific date range that never exceeded
seven (7) calendar days. After the expiration date, as
stated in the e-mail, the customer needs an original, valid
authorization letter printed on the special security paper.
The e-mail provided names and telephone numbers of
Headquarters employees to contact in case of questions.
If customers do not have the original meter resetting authorization letter, please instruct them to contact their meter
manufacturer at the corporate level, and not to contact their
local meter representative. We published the appropriate
contacts in Postal Bulletin 22075 (5-2-02, page 132), Postal
Bulletin 22074 (4-18-02, page 110), and Postal Bulletin
22073 (4-4-02, page 74-75). PTM will send an e-mail to
customers if the manufacturer provides supporting justification.
