Dear Ms. Thomason:
Thank you for your recent letter to Postmaster General
Marvin Runyon expressing your
continued support for the issuance of a commemorative stamp honoring
Lieutenant Audie Murphy.
You will be pleased to learn that the nomination of Distinguished Soldiers
was recently placed before the Citizen's Stamp Advisory Committee and remains
under consideration. Lieutenant Audie Murphy is one of many distinguished
soldiers being considered by the committee.
As you know, the Citizens' Stamp Advisory Committee is responsible for
reviewing stamp proposals and making subject and design recommendations to
the Postmaster General. For your information, the Committee works at least
two to three years in advance to allow sufficient time for design and
production, should the subject be approved. They are currently working on
the stamp programs for 1999 and beyond.
We appreciate your continued interest in our stamp program.
Sincerely,
/---- signed by Cindi Tackett for ----/
James C. Tolbert, Jr.
