AZEEZALY S. JAFFER EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR STAMP SERVICES May 11, 1999 Robert Kim Bingham, Esq. 42 Round Hill Road Salem, CT 06420-3850 Dear Mr. Bingham: This is a follow up to your March 5 letter to Govemor Fineman expressing support for the issuance of a commemorative stamp honoring Hiram Bingham IV. We regret the delay in responding to your inquiry. You will be pleased to leam that the nomination of Hiram Bingham IV was reviewed by the Citizens' Stamp Advisory Committee at the April 22-23 meeting. The nomination was placed under consideration as a future stamp issuance. This Committee is responsible for reviewing stamp proposals and making subject and design recommendations to the Postmaster General. There is no specific time frame for the issuance of stamp subjects. However, new stamps are announced approximately six months prior to the year in which the stamp will be issued. The Citizens' Stamp Advisory Committee works two to three years in advance to meet stamp design and production requirements. They are currently working on the stamp programs for 2002 and beyond. Your interest in our stamp program is very much appreciated. Sincerely,
