Accordingly, we are cutting the retail price of these stamps by as much as 50 percent off their face value. To maximize the bureau savings and avoid further proliferation of this commodity within the bureau, we are asking offices to refrain from placing stamp orders directly with the Postal Service. Instead, offices are to place their stamp orders with the Reston Supply Service Center (RSSC) at http://rssc.usgs.gov/ until further notice. Customers can find the discounted stamps on the RSSC web site under the "Labels and Mailing" category. The sale of these products at significant discounts will continue indefinitely. Offices will be advised of any changes in pricing concerning these products. For further assistance in this or other supply matter, please call (703) 648-7276 or 7280. We appreciate your cooperation and continued patronage. Bert Simon Branch of Materials Management 231 National Center Reston, VA. 20192 (703) 648-7283 Fax (703) 648-7352
