On or about July 6, 1996, Mr. Hanna wrote the
following letter to Mr. Steve Hanson, the mailing requests
clerk at the main U.S. Post Office in Austin, Texas,
inquiring whether petitioner's office had ever been
notified about sending "'stale date' mailings":
Dear Mr. Hanson:
If you will check your Austin Post Office
computer record of notices sent relating to
"stale date" mailings and certify that neither
Mark J. Hanna, P.C. nor Hanna & Associates, P.C.
have ever been mailed such a notice, I would
appreciate it. Our Pitney-Bowes meter number
is 5037718.
Sincerely,
Mark J. Hanna
In response, Mr. Hanson provided the following information:
Post office personnel scan all metered mail which
is collected in this fashion. Most such mail
does not separately receive a postmark in our
cancelling facility. However, when scanners
detect metered mail which does not bear the
current date on its meter, it is pulled and run
through a cancelling machine to receive a cancel
bearing the current date over its 'stale' meter
date. If either a significant amount of stale
date metered mail or any mail bearing a meter
date several days old is detected, the sender may
be contacted and asked to redate all such mail
before it is remailed.

Upon the written request of Mr. Mark J. Hanna,
who has held a Pitney Bowes postage meter number
5037718 and has sent mail labeled either Mark J.
