Dulski Chairman, Committee on Post Office and Civil Service House of Representatives V Dear Mr. Chairman: Pursuant to your request of March 19, 1973, and a subsequent discussion with our representatives, welexamined thfe ylit of mail service provided by the New Orleans Post Office an o taendfd imi7+mtion on the arguments for and against the transfer of foreign mail opera'tions from New Orleans to the New York Bulk Mail Facility. On November 9, 1973, we briefed staff members of the House Committee on Post Office and Civil Service and the Subcommittee on Postal Service on the results of our examination and gave them copies of the charts (see encs. I to X) used in the briefing. The Subcommittee used this data during its hear- ings in New Orleans. To obtain the information in this letter, we examined Postal Service records, visited the New Orleans Post Office, and interviewed both headquarters and local postal officials. The New Orleans office, in general, had met the Postal Service's overnight delivery standards for local first-class mail but generally did not meet its standards for first- class-mail delivery to more distant areas. Sorting errors, however, caused significant quantities of first-class mail to be sent to the wrong destinations with consequent delays in delivery. BACKGROUND The New Orleans Post Office handles about 900 million pieces of mail annually, or about 2.5 million pieces daily. -9a4~&~ Oq99
