William Whitehurst 111Il1I11I11H House of Representatives 117588 Dear Mr. Whitehurst: Subject: Proposed Transfer of Postal Activities from Seapines Station to Atlantic Station in Virginia Beach, Virginia (GGD-82-49) Your letters of July 13, and 27, 1981, asked us to review Postal Service plans to close Seapines Station in Virginia Beach, Virginia.

It also houses the carriers who provide delivery services to Seapines and Atlan- tic areas.
