I drove to Rutgers New Jersey on Monday to do some research. During part of the three hour drive I was listening to the "Diane Reem Show" on National Public Radio. The Gail Norton, Sec. of the Interior was on the show. One of the callers asked about the web site problem and the department's mail problems. Sec. Norton replied that they are diligently working to remedy the web problem. As to the US mail, the DOI has just started receiving mail again. Their mail comes through the Brentwood Postal Station which as you all know was the location of one of the anthrax letters in D.C. It has been weeks since the DOI has received any snail mail. Mail devilery started back up this week. I am not discouraging you from writing to the DOI should you decide to, but bear in mind that it will be quite awhile before your letter is answered as they have 6 to 8 weeks of mail to go through. A phone call might work better. Esther Read
