RESUMPTION OF POSTAL SERVICES TO MIDDLE EAST

The suspension on the posting of surface mail to Egypt, Israel

and Syria has been lifted and all classes of mail for these countries

will now be accepted again, the Postmaster General announced today.

However, he warned that the mail might be subject to delay since

shipping schedules had been interrupted by the Middle East war.

Airmail services to the affected countries resumed last Saturday

(October 20).
