Dulski Chairman, Committee on Post Office and C1 Civil Service .. House of Representatives Dear Mr. Chairman: This letter summarizes and updates our M!ay 30, 1973, briefing to your Committee and Subcommittee staffs on the Office of Management and Budget's (tMB's) decision to phase the Corps of Engineers out of the Postal Service construc- 2 tion program. In this briefing and-in a May 30, 1973, / letter to the Postmaster General, we concluded that the tim- ing established in OMB's phaseout schedule would adversely affect the costs and timely completion of the National Bulk Mail System (NBMS). Subsequently, OMB, at the request of the Postal Service, authorized extending the Corps' participation in NBMS until its completion. OMB's initial phaseout plan included: --Phase I, responsibility for minor construction, leas- ing, rental, and building improvement to be removed from the Corps by June 30, 1973. --Phase I!, responsibility for major construction to be removed from the Corps by June 30, 1974. In a January 26, 1973, letter to the Postmaster General, the Director, 01B, stated,, * it is inappropriate from the standpoint of the Corps' general mission to participate in general-purpose construction activity. OMB officials -dvised us that the enlarging scope of the Corps' support for Postal Service construction and real estate activities had prompted OMB to direct the phaseout. These officials added, however, that they viewed the phaseout dates as flexible, depending on the economies of alternative -schedules.
