Does anyone know what is going on with this cover? What is this thing? It has a printed label instead of a stamp and a lot of "postal code" rules stated on it. I got this in a box of covers years ago, and I never really figured out this one. Does anyone happen to know?

Thanks,
Linus

I wouldn't even be able to wager a sensible guess here,

but I am sure anxious to hear anyone else's.

re: USA Olympic Winter Games Cover

I looked up the US Code (39, etc.). Forget the other one as it is not a proper legal citation.

39 USC, Section 500 deals with the character, make up and authority of the Postal Rate Commission. It is only a few short sections contained within it, but nothing that I found has anything to do with something like free franking privileges, which is what I thought I was going to find somewhere in the section.

As for the United Nations, and the postage paid indicia, I could speculate that this is referring to the process whereby items mailed from the UN (New York) were handed over to the USPS for handling and delivery.

Now why on a first day cover, it has the indicia instead of the stamp could be because the stamp was from the US. One would have to use UN postage to mail it from the UN. It is usually permissible to put the US stamp near the UN stamp, but maybe in 1960 it wasn't allowed.

Again, this contained much speculation on my part, except for the 39 USC section that I read.

The label is a kind of local post that transported that cover from the UN Building in NYC to Squaw Valley.

That's not a very "local post" to deliver something 3,000 miles! Interesting though.
