A stamp ceremony program is the listing of an agenda of one or more speakers or events for the ceremony honoring the stamp being issued.  A program can be both a ceremony program and an event listing.  Only events that took place on the day the stamp was issued were included for this category.  A Program should be produced by the postal service or in cooperation with the sponsoring organization of the event.  These programs usually also provide those attending with some of the stamp's background.  Here is a reference list of program numbers from the "Mellone's specialized Catalog of First Day Ceremony Programs & Events" by Dr. Scott Pelcyger, 1989 Edition.
