    UNITED STATES bulletin POSTAL SERVICE Published Since March 4, 1880 PB 21758—March 8, 1990—32 Pages HISPANIC PROGRAM The USPS Hispanic Program was established in 1973 to assure that Hispanics are fully utilized in the postal work force and have an equal opportunity to compete in every aspect of employment, including recruitment, hiring, training, and promotions. As such, the Hispanic Program is an integral part of the Postal Service's affirmative action/ equal employment opportunity policy and program. Hispanics constitute one of the largest minority groups in the United States, and Bureau of the Census statistics clearly indicate a rapid growth rate extending well beyond the coming decade. In view of this trend, and consistent with our continuing commitment to provide equal employment opportunity to all persons, we need to strengthen our efforts to utilize fully the skills and talents of Hispanics in the community at large and in our work force. The Postal Service is committed to ensuring that the Hispanic Program receives the necessary management attention and support. Managers at all levels must be sensitive to the concerns of Hispanic employees and the Hispanic community to determine if there are operational or other barriers to equal opportunity inherent in our s.u. employment practices, and must take prompt action to correct any deficiencies. Further, all postal managers must ensure that sufficient financial and personnel resources are allocated to implement an effective and progressive „ ., USPS Hispanic Program.

Editor: Ross Irwin, 903-24 Marilyn Dr., Guelph, ON., N1H 8E9 Associate Editor and Treasurer: Dave Cooper, 35 South High St, Thunder Bay, ON., P7B 3K3. Subscription fee:$ 7. SO per year. No. 43 SPRING 1995 EDITOR'S NOTES Metered mail has a number of advantages for specialized collectors. For example, look at the large variety of rates that I have found on my personal mail received since January 1, 1995. These rates are all below $1.00. Can you add to this list, or identify the use. The first group is what they call admail. The standard rate is .268Q for letter size in lots of 1,000 for firms having a permit. For oversize mail the standard rate for permit mail, over 1,000 pieces, is 28 5 0. The other rates are where mail is sorted by computer into letter carrier walks ordered by individual addresses. These rates should all have the BULK designation. There are more rates in this series 5 .20 BULK 2 .21 BULK 5 .26 BULK 5 .27 BULK - rate probably .26 and refund for overpayment 2 .28 BULK The second group of strange rates is derived from "Incentive" mail. These rates must be obtained from Ottawa. They depend on OCR sorting and volume. The newest rates were established 17 January 1995. .34 volume 250,000 per year . 375 .384 lA .395 1.A .415 .425 •495 lA .525 lA The rates for 30 to 50 grams are: •58 5 ; .62, .63 5 , .65, .67 and .68Q There are also the standard rates: .43 lA - first class for less 30 grams .69 - over 30 grams and less than 50 grams, 1st class .88 - large envelopes, 1st class +5 —1 RETURN POSTAGE PREPAID A RETURN POSTAGE PREPAID die was approved by the Post Office Department 10 Dec 1926.
