Let me hand you what's been marked Plaintiff's Exhibit 6, and you can see there it says -- on its face on the first page that it says glossary of postal terms, May 1997, Publication 32. Are you familiar with that? A. Not offhand. I would have to see it, but not offhand. Publication 32, Corporate Publishing, if I saw a copy of it, I could tell you. Q. Well, I don't have, of course, a nice -the way that it comes I'm sure when it's printed, but I do have, if you want to look at it, something I printed off of the internet, which is the entire glossary of postal terms. That's not an exhibit. I was handing it to you to let you look at it. MR. WRIGHT: If anyone wants to make it an exhibit, we can. MS. FLOYD: Yes. Can we make it an exhibit? MR. WRIGHT: Sure. That's the only copy

We've now marked that document that I handed you as Plaintiff's Exhibit 59, which is a Postal Service Publication 32.

Do you see there a definition for the term philatelic center? A. Yes. Q. At the time that you signed Plaintiff's Exhibit 1, were you aware that the term philatelic center was defined in Publication 32? A. I'm not sure. Q. Okay. Basically -- have you read that definition? And if not, would -A. I'm not sure. Q. I mean, right now. Would you just take a look at it? A. Okay. Q. All right. Let me ask you this before we go back to that. At the time that you signed the agreement, Plaintiff's Exhibit 1, were you familiar with any kind of a facility operated by the postal service referred to as a philatelic center? A. Repeat that. Q.

Now, based on what you've seen there and the definition of philatelic center in Publication 32, Plaintiff's Exhibit 59, just based on that definition now, would you say that a philatelic center is not the same thing as a post office? A. Correct. Q. And it wouldn't be the same thing as a branch post office? A. Repeat that. Q. Have you ever heard the term branch post office? A. Yes.

member that also -- who manages the pictorial postmark program, which is the postmarks that are used for temporary stations for collectors. Each postal bulletin, every postal bulletin, there is a list of postmarks that are available nationwide for collectors to send their covers in. So it's kind of -- I do have a lot of different things. Q. Okay. And so you're familiar with the Philatelic Centers that are operated by the postal service? A. I'm familiar with the Philatelic Centers, however, I don't have direct management of them. Q. But you are familiar with the fact that they exist? A. Uh-huh. Yes, sir. Q. Okay. And do you have general knowledge of what they -- what kinds of products, let's say, are sold at the Philatelic Centers and that kind of thing? A. Yes, sir.

(Discussion off the record.) (Deposition Exhibit No. 101 was marked for identification.) BY MR. WRIGHT: Q. Ms. Tackett, let me hand you what has been marked Exhibit 101, which is a document that has been produced to the plaintiff by the postal service in this case. Can you identify what that document is? A. Yes. It's our publication, our annual publication, The Postal Service Guide to U.S. Stamps. It has the Philatelic Centers in certain publications. Q. Okay. Let's just walk through it. The first page is, of course, just a -A. Cover sheet. Q. -- cover sheet generated, I take it, for purposes of identifying the year of the -that the exhibit pertains to, right? A. Uh-huh. Q. And then the second page of the

A. Yes. Q. And to the best of your knowledge, that's a complete listing of all of the Philatelic Centers that existed as of -A. At the time of publication. Q. The time that guide, the 1999 guide was published? A. Uh-huh. Q. Okay. (Deposition Exhibit No. 102 was marked for identification.) BY MR. WRIGHT: Q. All right. Let me hand you what has been marked Exhibit 102. And that -- again, all of these documents that I'm going to show you have been produced to the plaintiff by the postal service so I won't say that every time. A. Okay. Q. Can you identify what Exhibit 102 is? A. A cover sheet and a cover of The Postal Service Guide, 27th Edition, and then a

you or that you discussed with any attorney, and I'm not asking you to tell me why you looked at the documents. But if you did look at any documents, other than perhaps a memorandum or something from an attorney representing the postal service, if you could just tell me whether you looked at any other documents to prepare to give your testimony today. A. Repeat that again. Q. Not the whole thing. A. I'm like what. Q. Did you -- other than Exhibits 101 through 105, and not counting any memorandum from attorneys representing the postal service or anything like that that may have been generated to you, did you review any documents to prepare for your deposition today? A. Well, I reviewed my bio just to make sure I had my dates down right. Q. Okay. Now, do you have any familiarity, at all, with the agreement between

City is a mail order center that supports stamp collectors. But what mainly the Philatelic Centers do is they cater to stamp collectors. They have the current stamp issues and older stamp issues available in the facility and they also sell them, I guess you could say, in plate box and different formats that collectors usually like to buy their stamps in. But it's primarily, you know -- at Philatelic Centers, some of the things that collectors look for is the centering of stamps and the perforations and the different formats of a stamp issue. Because sometimes we issue one stamp image, but in many different formats. It could be a paint of stamps; it could be a booklet of stamps; it could be a coil, and so collectors collect different formats of all those. Q. Do the Philatelic Centers offer for sale any products other than stamps themselves? A. They offer Philatelic products, which Philatelic products primarily they have

the plaintiff, Sterling, Winchester & Long and the postal service that is the subject matter of this case? A. No. Q. And you have no -- not necessarily just firsthand knowledge, but you don't really know anything about that agreement? A. (Witness shaking head.) No. Q. You've got to state your answer. A. Oh. No, I don't. Q. Okay. Can you just explain to me generally -- and to the extent you have already touched on this, I apologize. But I would -if you don't mind, would you just explain generally what is a Philatelic Center as operated by the postal service? A. Okay. A Philatelic Center can be one of several things. It could be a designated building. It could be a designated window. Or it could be our Philatelic -- our Stamford fulfillment service office in Kansas

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22

stamps in the products. Okay? The only exception to that would be this Postal Service Guide to U.S. Stamps, which is a Philatelic product and it doesn't have stamps. It depicts all the stamps that we have ever issued by the postal service. This publication depicts every single stamp we have ever issued in it. Q. Oh, really? A. It lists it by prices. It has prices in it. We use Scott's pricing for collectors to use as they are valuing their collections and stuff. Q. Uh-huh. So that guide, the guide that you lists every -- depicts every stamp ever issued by the postal service? A. Right. That's why it's the annual publication. Every year we add the next year's in there and we have to change the values. Q. So it gets bigger every year? A. It gets bigger every year.

Actually, the format doesn't even look like this anymore. It's a spiral big book now. That comes out of my staff. I know. Because my staff produces it. Q. Okay. All right. So a Philatelic Center, now, what -- when you say, "Philatelic products," I'm just trying to determine does that include, though, anything other than stamps or something that actually is incorporating an actual stamp itself? A. Repeat that again. Q. Well, in other words, I know that the Philatelic Centers sell stamps. A. Uh-huh. Q. Is that right? A. Right. Correct. Q. And I think I know that. And they sell some kind of a product that somehow incorporates an actual stamp in the product; is that -A. Correct. Q. -- correct?

cards, Philatelic products, they're all accountable just like money. And they enter into an accountable system and that -- they're distributed through the stamp distribution offices and then to post offices, and then to Philatelic Centers, and they're all accountable. BY MR. WRIGHT: Q. Okay. What about posters? To the best of your knowledge, during the time frame we're talking about now, 2000 to the present, have Philatelic Centers ever sold posters? A. At one point they did sell a poster, but all posters have a stamp either affixed to it or with the poster. Q. Okay. So only posters that would have a real stamp affixed to the poster? A. To the poster or with it. Q. What do you mean by "with it"? A. Well, sometimes what we would do is put a mount in the actual stamps for the customer to put the stamps onto the poster.
Page 25

A. Uh-huh. Q. Okay. Does the -- have the Philatelic Centers ever sold products that do not actually incorporate a stamp as a part of the product itself? In other words, something that maybe is a photograph of a stamp or something like that? MS. EWUSI-MENSAH: I just want to interpose an objection as to the time frame. MR. WRIGHT: Please do. MS. EWUSI-MENSAH: I believe that the topic was just from 2000 to the present. I'm not sure the question is limited to that. MR. WRIGHT: Okay. That's fine. We'll limit all of your answers to that time frame. THE WITNESS: Okay. Not -- no. Not that I am aware of. The reason why I am telling you this is that anything that a Philatelic Center sells has to go through our accountable paper distribution methods and anything -- stamps, stamp stationery, postal

Q. So the stamp would come separately. It would all be part of the sale, but it would be a poster and a stamp? A. Right. Together. Q. Separate? A. Right. Q. Okay. All right. So to the best of your knowledge, then, are there any other products that do not consist of stamps themselves that have been sold in the Philatelic Centers, other than what you have already mentioned? A. Not that I'm aware of. Q. Okay. The Philatelic Centers that are listed there on -- in Exhibits 101 through 105, those -- each one of those is 100 percent controlled by the postal service; is that correct? A. Correct. Q. Now, are you familiar with a Philatelic catalog published by the postal service?

A. Uh-huh. Yes. That comes out of our office. Q. And is that also 100 percent controlled by the postal service? MS.

So she can speak as to her personal knowledge, but that testimony would be all. MR. WRIGHT: Oh, I agree. I just -since she said she's familiar with it I thought -MS.

Q. But the catalog is not distributed generally to the -- just to the general public? A. No. It's -- you have to be on the mailing list or you might be able to -- we send some of them to post offices where you might be able to obtain a copy from a post office. But at different times, you know, the level of how many we produce and the quantity and where we distribute them to internally within post offices is varied. Q. Right. In other words, I'm sure anybody can get it, right? A. Uh-huh. You can go online and ask for it, and it's a free publication. Q. But I'm just saying -- but in terms of the mailing list, that's -A.

BY MR. WRIGHT: Q. And is the catalog, as you understand it, controlled 100 percent by the postal service? A. Yes, it is. Q. Did you say your office is in charge of the catalog? A. Our -- yeah. We -- our office, stamp services produces the catalog and the fulfillment house, which is our -- out of Kansas City, falls under stamp services, which is part of our group. Q. Now, what's the purpose of the catalog? A. The catalog is another channel in order for collectors to purchase their stamps. The catalogs mailed on a quarterly basis to a mailing list, usually the collectors that purchase the stamps through the catalog. They get the catalog on a quarterly basis. And then also we send it to like stamp shows and things like that for people to use as reference.

ask you this: Are products offered for sale in the Philatelic catalog? A. Are products offered for sale? Q. Yes, ma'am. A. Yes. Q. What kinds of products are offered for sale in the catalog? A. There are Philatelic products. There is -- each of the formats of the stamps, every time we issue a stamp, there's many different formats. There are what we call first day covers. Well, they're Philatelic products. Commemorative -- there are first day issue covers, which are Philatelic products. We sell those in there postmarked. They have the actual first day of issue postmark on them. And then other Philatelic products that our department produces, meaning year books. We have an annual yearbook that includes each of the stamps that are issued in a commemorative yearbook, each of the stamps that are issued for that year. We sell that

We sell that in there. Q. Okay. And it's published quarterly? A. Yes. Q. Is there any version of the catalog available for viewing online? A. No, not yet. Eventually there will be. We have been working on that. Q. Okay. What about -- let me just jump back really quickly to these lists of Philatelic Centers. I know that only went up through 2003. Could one find similar lists in the guides for the subsequent years, 2004 through 2007?

be profit centers for the postal service? A. It's my knowledge in the retail operations book that there's supposed to be revenue initiatives that are associated with it. But that management is not under my responsibility, so I wouldn't know the particulars on it. Q. Okay. So you don't really know, then, as to any particular instance of a Philatelic Center closing, whether it might have been a -- due to revenue issues or anything like that? A. No. I wouldn't know that. That would be a postmaster area and district's decision. Q. Okay. As far as you know, if you know, are the Philatelic Centers generally profitable, do you know? A. I can't answer that. Q. Do you have any information on traffic volume in Philatelic Centers, either generally or with reference to any particular
Page 33

A. I would have to go back and check, but we did make a decision, and I was part of that decision-making process, to -- because of the size of the book and it kept getting larger and larger, we had to look at ways to kind of reduce, and with Philatelic Centers changing locations and closing down it's hard for us to maintain an accurate address and location of each one of them. So what we have since done is you'll find a little thing where you can call 1-800 and get the current -- you know, you just tell them your state and then they -- they'll give you the current address of a local Philatelic Center now. That's how we do it. Q. Is a listing of the Philatelic Centers, to your knowledge, available on the postal service web site? A. Yes. Q. You mentioned Philatelic Centers closing down, moving, et cetera, et cetera. Are Philatelic Centers intended to

Philatelic Center? A. No. Q. Do you know if such information exists? A. I don't know. Q. I have a couple of other documents here that I believe come within your scope. (Deposition Exhibit No. 106 was marked for identification.) BY MR. WRIGHT: Q. Let me hand you what has been marked Exhibit 106. And that, once again, is a document that was produced for us by the postal service. I think it's just part of a document. Do you recognize that? Can you tell me what that exhibit consists of? A. This is a copy of a PO-209, which is the retail -- the handbook for retail operations dated April 2005. Q. And am I understanding this correctly that the actual handbook itself would be much larger than this?

A. Yeah, I would think so. Q. And that what we have here is just a part of it, Section 18, or whatever you want to call it, Part 18 of the handbook? A. Well, it looks like you have pages starting with 104. So it's obviously a bigger. Q. Or 103? A. Page 103. Q. 103, right. And that's like Section 18, Philatelic, is that what yours says over there? A. Uh-huh. Yes. Q. Are you familiar with this handbook? A. I am familiar with -- I am familiar with all -- I mean, handbooks. We use them for reference all the time. Q. But this particular one is not something that you have? A. This is a retail that was initiated by retail operations. Q. Which is something other than what you do.

MR. WRIGHT: That's fine. Yeah. I don't have that on my copy. MS. EWUSI-MENSAH: Okay. BY MR. WRIGHT: Q. Okay. Do you see there Section 18-2 definitions? A. Uh-huh. Q. And it defines the term "Philatelic Center"? A. Yes. Q. Do you see that? A. Yes. Uh-huh. Q. All right. Now, and then it says a Philatelic Center may be referred to as a postal shop, stamp shop, Postique, also a Philatelic windows. What I was wondering is this: The list that we looked at that were in Exhibits 101 through 105, would that include on that list all of the postal shops, stamp shops, Postique, Philatelic windows? Is all -- any of those kinds of things, they're all included on that list?
Page 37

So this section here on this Philatelic, is that any -- is that -- starting on the fourth page of the exhibit insofar as that section of this handbook, is that something that you're familiar with on any ongoing basis as a part of your job? A. Repeat that again. Q. As a part of your -- just as a part of your job, are you -- do you have a familiarity with this? A. The Philatelic section. Q. The Philatelic section of this handbook? A. (Witness nodding head.) Q. Is that yes? A. Yes. I'm sorry. Q. All right. Let's just look at this for just a second. The -- well, start there on the page that's in the bottom right there is a -- identified as Page 103. MS. EWUSI-MENSAH: Just to make the record clear, that's Bates No. 2911?

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22

A. Yes, sir. Q. And is there any way, by looking at those lists, that we can determine which is which? A. No. Q. Are you aware of -A. Off of this list? Q. Right. Exhibits 101 through 105? A. No, there is no way to identify what is a Postique and what is a shop and what is a window. Q. All right. What's the difference between a Postique and a stamp shop? A. Pretty much they're just titles of what they called their facility. A Postique is just -- is a trademark name that we had. Not all offices used it. It's just that some offices use it for their window or their -- at their site location. Q. Now, are we talking about -- when you say, "a window," are we talking about something that is in a -- what is otherwise

just a branch post office? A. In some cases, yes. Q. And in some cases it's a -A. Separate. Q. -- separate facility? A. (Witness nodding head.) Q. And it consists only of the window? A. Yes. But those are -- a long time ago they were more -- you know, they are not as common anymore because most of the time they're in with regular post office windows. They will be regular traditional over-the-counter windows and there will be a separate area for a Philatelic window that's separate in the lobby. Q. Of a branch post office? A. Yes. Q. All right. Now, are some Philatelic Centers stand alone facilities? A. Currently? Q. Or have any been since 2000, let's put it that way? A. I have to go back and look and see

is our mail order facility that we do out of Kansas City. I don't know particularly of a specific site that's a stand-alone. We used to have one at L'Enfant Plaza here that used to be a stand-alone that was nothing but a Philatelic Center. Window by itself, a whole area by itself with no other traditional counter lines. Okay? But I don't know what year that closed. Q. When you say, "without traditional counter lines," in other words, it's not a place you could go to mail a package? A. Right. Q. But you don't know whether there have been other similar locations, Philatelic Center locations anywhere in the United States from the year 2000 where the facility, as you've just described, would be only a Philatelic Center? MS. EWUSI-MENSAH: Objection. Asked and answered. BY MR. WRIGHT: Q. You can still answer the question.

if -- I know of some. I'm just looking to see because they have closed some of them down. Q. I'm sorry, what was that? A. They closed some of them down. Q. Some of the stand-alone? A. Yes. So at some point, there were stand-alones and there may be stand-alones. I wouldn't be able to tell you now nationwide what the stand-alones are. Q. But from the period year 2000 to the present, you do know that there have been stand-alone Philatelic Centers operated by the postal service? A. 2000. I'm specifically thinking of the one that was in this building. I'm not sure when it closed down. I don't know for sure. Q. So you're saying from the year 2000 to the present, you don't know whether the postal service has operated any stand-alone Philatelic Centers? A. The only one that I'm aware of that

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22

A. Oh. Only the area and district offices would know what sites were stand-alones. I wouldn't know. Q. Okay. And what was that, the area -A. Area and district offices would know what were -- what are currently stand-alones. Q. Okay. That's for each -- there is no -- you're saying for each area or district in the country? A. Right. There is nine areas. I'm sorry. There's nine area offices and under those there are district offices. And they're the ones that approve the use of a Philatelic Center or operations within their areas. Q. Okay. Well, who did the area offices -- what department or what person do the area officers report to? A. Well, the area offices -- the area vice presidents report to senior management within the postal service. They are direct reports to senior management within the postal
