REMINDER Flexible Spending Accounts (FSAs)All career Postal Service employees are eligible to enroll in Flexible Spending Accounts (FSAs). Through the Postal Bulletin and other media, we will keep you informed of the benefits of having an FSA - we will remind you of open season dates, enrollment options, etc. If you're like most people, you have health care expenses that you have to pay yourself because your health insurance doesn't cover them. These could include expenses for doctor and dentist visits, over the counter medicines, vision care, and so on. Even if you itemize deductions on your income tax, these expenses are not usually high enough for you to claim a deduction. However, by signing up for an FSA, you can get a tax break. Here's how it works: You contribute money from your paychecks to an FSA, which allows you to cover your eligible health care expenses throughout the year with tax-free money. Meanwhile, whatever you contribute isn't subject to federal income tax, or Social Security tax, or Medicare tax. With an FSA, you pay less for your health care expenses. If you don't sign up for an FSA, you're still going to have to write a check for your health care expenses. It's just that without an FSA, you pay for your health care without a tax break. And you can use your FSA for dependent care (day care) expenses too. Think about it: tax breaks mean that you keep more of your money. It's almost like getting free money. The next open season will start in November 2004 - start planning now. - Compensation, SAFETY REMINDER Not Properly Securing a Vehicle Can Be a Moving ExperienceProcedures for properly securing a vehicle and avoiding a roll-away or runaway vehicle have been well known to Postal ServiceTM employees for more than 15 years. Employees learn the procedures in driver training programs and during safety talks and driver observations. Yet sometimes Postal Service employees still leave the controls of their vehicles without properly securing them and safeguarding against rollaway and runaway accidents. What Do You Risk With a Rollaway or Runaway Accident? Rollaway or runaway Postal Service vehicles have pinned their operators, run over their operators who were chasing them and fell beneath their wheels, and even struck members of the community. Unattended vehicles have struck parked vehicles along streets, s, and businesses; trees; and moving private vehicles in streets and intersections. These incidents: Damage Postal Service vehicles and private property. Can sometimes injure our employees and others. Increase our operating costs. Create an unfavorable perception of our vehicle drivers. Why Do Rollaway or Runaway Accidents Happen?Rollaway or runaway vehicle accidents occur because operators are in a hurry, take short cuts, and do not properly secure the vehicle when leaving the controls of the vehicle. This type of accident occurs across the spectrum of operators - from the new driver to the professional driver with more than 30 years of service. Typically, when a rollaway or runaway occurs, it is not the first time that the operator has failed to properly secure the vehicle. In most cases, the operator has been in the habit of not properly securing the vehicle, and eventually a rollaway and/or runaway happens. It takes only one failure of a vehicle operator to place the gearshift selector adequately in park for an accident to happen. Often employees who have experienced runaway and/or rollaway accidents claim, "I thought it was in park!" You Must Properly Secure Your VehicleIf you do not follow the proper steps for securing a vehicle upon leaving the vehicle controls, you are taking a gamble. As vehicle operator, you are responsible for all decisions for the safe operation of your vehicle. Follow these procedures to safely secure your vehicle: Place the gear selector in "park." Turn off the engine. Remove the key. Set the parking brake. Curb or turn the wheels to minimize vehicle travel distance should any of the above steps fail to keep the vehicle from rolling or running away. Remember: Accidents Don't Just Happen!In addition to following these procedures, you should be aware of the condition of your vehicle. Even though Postal Service vehicles receive scheduled periodic maintenance, you should complete vehicle repair tags as needed. You can find more information on Postal Service job safety requirements in Handbook EL-814, Postal Employee's Guide to Safety, and Handbook EL-803, Maintenance Employee's Guide to Safety. - Safety Performance Management,

STAMP ANNOUNCEMENT 04-07
To commemorate the bicentennial of the official launch of the Lewis and Clark expedition on May 14, 1804, the Postal ServiceTM will issue a special 32-page prestige booklet, Lewis & Clark: The Corps of Discovery, 1804-1806 (Item 882600), on May 14, 2004, in the following cities:
Astoria, Oregon
Atchison, Kansas
Great Falls, Montana
Hartford, Illinois
Ilwaco, Washington

Omaha, Nebraska
Pierre, South Dakota
Sioux City, Iowa
St. Charles, Missouri
Washburn, North Dakota
Priced at $8.95, the Lewis & Clark prestige booklet includes 20 First-Class Mail® stamps ($7.40 value) and features informative text, historic illustrations, and scenic photographs. The prestige booklet goes on sale nationwide May 15, 2004. It is the third such booklet to be issued by the Postal Service, following U.S. Navy Submarines (2000) and Old Glory (2003).
Meriwether Lewis and William Clark led the Corps of Discovery on a heroic expedition from the mouth of the Missouri River near St. Louis to the Pacific Ocean and back. President Thomas Jefferson had instructed them to follow the Missouri and Columbia Rivers and locate the elusive Northwest Passage.
Along the way, they explored much of the territory of Louisiana, the vast uncharted wilderness west of the Mississippi River that the United States had recently purchased from France. They mapped rivers; collected plants and animals new to science; held councils with Indians; and kept detailed journals - books destined to become classics of both American history and American literature.
The booklet contains two semijumbo stamp designs in self-adhesive panes of 10. The stamps feature individual portraits of Meriwether Lewis and William Clark painted by Michael J. Deas in a style reminiscent of early 19th-century portraits of the two explorers. The text was written by Ron Fisher, a Lewis and Clark enthusiast who has visited many of the expedition's sites and first wrote about the Corps of Discovery in 1970. Fisher's article, "Lewis and Clark: Naturalist-Explorers" appeared in the October 1998 issue of National Geographic.
Customers have 30 days to obtain the first day of issue postmark by mail. They may purchase new stamps at their local Post OfficeTM, by telephone at 800-STAMP-24, and at the Postal Store Web site at www.usps.com/shop. They should affix the stamps to envelopes of their choice, address the envelopes (to themselves or others), and place them in a larger envelope addressed to:

The Postal ServiceTM will issue a 37-cent Isamu Noguchi commemorative stamp (Item 456100) in a pressure- sensitive adhesive (PSA) pane of 20 on May 18, 2004, in Long Island City, New York. The stamp, designed by Derry Noyes of Washington, DC, goes on sale nationwide May 19, 2004.
The stamp honors sculptor Isamu Noguchi (1904-1988) on the 100th anniversary of his birth. Noted for merging Western and Eastern influences, Noguchi expanded the definition of sculpture with creations that ranged from portraiture and abstract sculpture to graceful meditation gardens and sprawling landscapes. Drawing no distinction between art and design, Noguchi also created furniture, theater sets, and other functional objects that demonstrated his desire to make sculpture useful to society.
The pane of 20 stamps features five different works by Noguchi: Margaret La Farge Osborn, 1937; Black Sun, 1960-1963; Mother and Child, 1944-1947; Figure, 1945; and Akari 25N, circa 1968.
The selvage features a photograph of Noguchi taken by Eliot Elisofon for publication in 1952. Below the photograph is text reading, "sculptor 1904-1988" and the quotation by Noguchi, "Everything is sculpture. Any material, any idea without hindrance born into space, I consider sculpture."

NOTICE
As described in the February 4, 2004, Standup Talk for Online Labels (e-labels), which can be found on the Delivery and Retail Web site at http://blue.usps.gov/delivery; click Online Labels (e-Labels), then e-Label Standup Talk, some online labels allow customers to print the postage amount in the indicia (where it is hidden) and not explicitly on the label. Information on verifying the postage amount paid for such a label is found in the FAQs link on the Online Labels (e-Labels) Web page.
Postage Technology Management (PTM) is requesting copies of PC Postage® online shipping labels that appear to be short paid. Online labels printed by PC Postage customers are identifiable by "endicia.com" or "stamps.com" printed in the area of the postage barcode.
Copies of short-paid PC Postage online shipping labels should be sent via fax to 703-292-4073 or via attachment in an internal e-mail to "PTM - Washington, DC". Be sure to clearly distinguish the type of piece (i.e., letter, flat, or package), the actual weight of the piece, and correct zone, if applicable, or corrected rate eligibility.
Click-N-Ship® online shipping labels and USPS®/eBay online shipping labels should not be sent to the PTM office. Click-N-Ship labels are distinguished by "usps.com" in the area of the postage barcode. USPS/eBay labels are co- branded with USPS and eBay logos and are distinguished by "Pitney Bowes" printed with the postage barcode.
