Restriction on P a y m e n t T h r o u g h

T h e D e p a r t m e n t has designed a n e w postal m o n e y order for issu­
ance by U. S. military post offices overseas. T h e n e w m o n e y
order will be s a l m o n colored, a n d will bear a p a y m e n t restric­
tion as follows:
N o t e - - N o t payable through banks outside the
United States of A m e r i c a , other than through
U. S. Military banking facilities.
T h e n e w m o n e y order will not be placed in use prior to Jan u a r y
15, 1970.
T h e P o s t m a s t e r G e n e r a l will refuse final p a y m e n t o n the described
m o n e y orders bearing foreign b a n k endors e m e n t s , and the a m o u n t s
of such m o n e y orders will be c ha r g e d b a c k to U . S. c o m m e r c i a l
banks through w h i c h they w e r e presented for pay m e n t .
Notice of p r o p o s e d rule m a k i n g with respect to the foregoing is
unnecessary, since the issuance a n d p a y m e n t of the subject m o n e y
orders involves the public property a n d contracts, as well as mili­
tary and foreign affairs functions, of the United States.
