      The Honorable Barry Goldwater

      United States Senate

      Dear Senator Goldwater:

            This is in response to your February 17, 1978, letter,
        requesting us to (1) identify new town developments in Arizona
        and other high growth areas where residents are being denied
     ..,,,home mail delivery service and (2) evaluate the reasonableness
(I~ir'j (of the Postal Service's criteria for denying delivery service
       at those locations.

            To keep delivery costs down the Postal Service has been
       slow in meeting the mail delivery service needs of many
       Arizona residents. The Sunland District Office 1/ estimates
       that while the post offices in the District provide delivery
       service to about 6.1 million residents in Arizona and parts
       of southern California and Nevada, about 77,000 other residents
       are not receiving the home delivery service they are entitled
       to under Postal Service regulations.

             We did not determine the extent to which other areas
       of the country are experiencing delays in obtaining delivery
       services because the responsibility for initiating new delivery
       service or extending existing services generally rests with
       local postal officials throughout the country. However,
       indications are that the same type situation likely exists
       in other areas of the country.





       I/The Sunland District Office is administratively responsible
          for all postal operations in Arizona as well as parts of
          southern California and Nevada.

                                                     GGD-79-10
                                                     (22311)
