Basic conditions under which postal facilities can sell food stamps have been agreed upon by the U.S. Department of Agri- culture and the U.S. Postal Service, the department an- nounced last week. Contracts for selling food coupons in post offices are established indivi- dually between the postal service and the state agency which administers the food stamp program. The agreement defines audit responsibility and other pro- cedural matters, limits postal service liability for cash and coupons, and. provides for the use of a standard issuance fee by the postal service. State agencies have full responsibili- ties for negotiating the con- tracts. States may continue to sell coupons through welfare agen- cies, banks, credit unions, poverty agencies, and local businesses. However, depart- ment officials indicate postal issuance will effectively supple- ment present issuance systems in an effort to provide conven- ient service to food stamp reci- pients. SH Postal service issuance has been operating successfully on a trial basis in a dozen different parts of the country since 1971. Subscribe To The Post LOUISE M. MORRIS Louise M.
