Mr. Beeman expressed concern that (1) moving more mail into national transportation centers such as Denver and bypassing sectional center offices such as Pueblo could cause delays in mail deliveries and (2) Trans Central Airlines had several flights in and out of Pueblo daily but that very little mail was being transported on these flights. He also requested information on the costs for various modes of transportation used by the Department to move the mail. Also, we obtained from a Post Office Department official a copy of a letter to you dated January 6, 1970, from the Department responding to your request for its comments on the issues raised by Mr. Beeman. In response to Mr. Beeman's questions, we reviewed pertinent records and held discussions with officials at the Department Headquarters in Washington, D.C., the Department's Denver Regional Office, and the Denver and Pueblo, Colorado, post offices. We believe that the information furnished you in the Department's letter of January 6, 1970, is factual. The tesults of our review are summarized below and are presented in greatez detail in the enclosure to this letter. -- epartment officials said that routing mail through national trans- portation centers, such as Denver, had not resulted in delays in mail deliveries. -The Department, in arranging transportation schedules, considers mail volume, locations, distance, and availability of transporta- tion services. Whenever possible and economically feasible, the Department provides for direct routing of mail between sectional center facilities, between such facil3ties and associate pos offices, and between associate post offices to avoid delays. -At the time of our review (March 1970) Trans Central Airlines did not have, and had not requested, the required authority from the Civil Aeronautics Board to carry mail on its scheduled flights qwaf ~ L
