Have everyone noticed the dramatic drop in items sent out by usgs during this last fisical year. Up until Oct 4 last year, USGS sent out 44 shipments. After Oct 5, only 2 came. THis year only 24 have come. And the shipments are not larger (like they are doubling the amount they are sending, and thus saving postage). What is the story?? I strongly suspect that it has to do with gov't cut backs. This shipping list 24 is the first bunch of 7.5' topos sent since the beginning of august. my 2 cents --christopher jj thiry map librarian colorado school of mines [log in to unmask] visit our homepage: http://www.mines.edu/library/maproom/
