Subject: [Baren 16051] Exchange #11 Mailings 

I am copying out to the Baren a rather depressing note which may explain why
some of the exchange packages (sent a good while back) are late in arriving.
Please note especially the things postal workers are supposed to look for as
to suspicious packages.

If you haven't already sent your package to this or any other exchange, I
would suggest you flag it with one of those little green delivery
confirmation stickers (they are not expensive) or even send it certified.  I
will certainly inform each exchange member as his/her prints arrive--this is
just so you can track your package.    Non-US may be SOL.

(Start of copy)

 Subject:     FBI Advisory - Handling Suspicious Packages


ANSIR EMAIL - LOCAL (WASHINGTON DC/NORTHERN VIRGINIA) ADVISORY -
"SUSPICIOUS PACKAGES"

THIS WFO AWARENESS OF NATIONAL SECURITY ISSUES AND RESPONSE (ANSIR) MESSAGE
PROVIDES THE FOLLOWING INFORMATION TO ASSIST RECIPIENTS RESPONSIBLE FOR
SECURITY WITH ASSESSING YOUR SITUATION, AND IMPLEMENTING AN INTERNAL
RESPONSE AS NECESSARY.

   NOTE:  Recipients should be aware that FBI contact numbers found at the
bottom of the message are for the Washington, DC and Northern Virginia area
ONLY!  Should this message be forwarded out of this region, those contact
numbers are invalid!  In such a case, please check your local telephone
directory for information re the FBI office in your area.

   If you receive a "suspicious package" WHAT SHOULD YOU DO?

1)  Handle with care.  Don't shake or bump.

2)  Isolate and look for "indicators"

   Common indicators are, but not limited to the following:

   a) No return address
   b) Restrictive markings, ie., "Personal"
   c) Possibly mailed from a foreign country
   d) Excessive postage
   e) Misspelled Words
   f) Addressed to Title only or incorrect title
   g) Wrong title with name
   h) Badly typed or written
   i) Protruding wires
   j) Lopsided or uneven
   k) Rigid or bulky
   l) Strange odor
   m) Oily Stains, discoloration, crystallization on wrapper
   n) Excessive Tape or String

3)  Don't Open, Smell or Taste

4)  Treat as Suspect!  Call 911!

   If the package is open and/or a threat is identified...

*Bomb*

Evacuate the area immediately
Call 911  (Police)
Contact FBI (202) 278-2000

*Radiological*

Limit Exposure - Don't handle
Evacuate the Area
Protect yourself from the object/package
Call 911  (Police)
Contact FBI, (202) 278-2000

*Biological/Chemical*

Isolate - Don't Handle
Call 911  (Police)
Wash your hands with soap and warm water
Contact FBI, (202) 278-2000.

NOTE:  When contacting FBI, please ask telephone receptionist for the Duty
Agent, Special Agent Bomb Technician or Weapons of Mass Destruction
Coordinator.

ALSO:  Concerning RADIOLOGICAL or BIOLOGICAL/CHEMICAL exposure, If
possible, list the individuals who were in the area when the package was
identified/recognized.  Provide this list to local public health
authorities and law enforcement.

   Further guidelines may be obtained from www.fbi.gov concerning this
issue.

   For those interested in updated information regarding anthrax, please
contact the Center for Disease Control at www.cdc.gov.

(end of copy)

In addition, I have heard over the news that at least some postal sorting
centers will no longer be hand-cancelling packages.  They want to do
everything mechanically.  If you have not already sent out your package,
please try to design it in a way that will survive that indignity!

Another note,  if your handwriting (like mine) is barely legible and
somewhere along the line you learned to print in the drafting/architectural
manner (all squarish, block  caps) such printing is also being scrutinized.
Better to type or have someone  with a feminine hand address your mailing
label.

Cheers (hah),

Subject: [Baren 16056] Brazil in NYC 


To BAREN people who live close New York City (April and Sarah and.) I 
suggest visit the big exhibition "Brazil Body and Soul" at Guggenheim 
Museum until January 27th .

Specially Artur Bispo do Rosario "a visionary artist who created 
splendidly enigmatic cloaks, sashes, and other textile pieces, had no 
artistic training and developed his work while a patient at the Juliano 
Moreira Colony for the mentally ill in Rio de Janeiro"
