Dear Casey Jarman:
This responds to Resolution 503-08 we received from the Office of the Postmaster General
expressing support for a commemorative stamp honoring Japanese-American Veterans.
At their January meeting, the Citizens' Stamp Advisory Committee discussed a proposal to honor
Japanese-American World War II Veterans on a commemorative postage stamp. The idea had been
rejected in the past because of the Postal Service's long standing policy of not recognizing individual
units or groups in the military.
As a result of increased interest in this and other similar subjects, a subcommittee has been formed
to review the policy. There is no established timetable for the review and subjects that pertain to this
category have not been placed in the under consideration category. Once the review is complete,
these subjects will be presented to the Committee for discussion.
Enclosed for your reference is the Creating U. S. Postage Stamps brochure. We appreciate your
interest in our stamp program.
Sincerely,
` _rA lls
Terrence W. McCaffr
