Thank you for contacting the Legislative Resource Center. It is a hoax. Bill 602P is not a real piece of legislation. No such proposed legislation exists. The following statement was issued by the U.S. Postal Service:
WASHINGTON- "A completely false rumor concerning the U.S. Postal Service is being Circulated on Internet e-mail. As a matter of fact, the Postal Service has learned that a similar Hoax accurred recently in Canada concerning Canada Post".
The U.S.Postal Service has no authority to surcharge e-mail messages sent over the internet.
