Notice about Senate Mail

Since October of 2001, the delivery of mail to Senate offices has been disrupted several times – first by letters laced with anthrax, and then a second time by mail contaminated with ricin. Both incidents resulted in suspension of mail deliveries until mail-handling procedures could be reassessed and improved. The individuals responsible for these mailings have not been identified to date.

New security procedures have been implemented to try to safeguard the mail and the health and well being of those who handle it. However, those procedures can delay the delivery of mail to Senate offices from a few days to several weeks.

With that in mind, Arizonans in need of immediate assistance should phone my office or fax correspondence to:

	Phone	Fax
Phoenix	(602) 840-1891	(602) 840-4848
Tucson	(520) 575-8633	(520) 797-3232
Washington	(202) 224-4521	(202) 224-2207

Please note that my office does not accept anonymous correspondence.

If you do not receive a reply to your correspondence sent by regular U.S. mail within a reasonable period of time, please call my office for assistance. Your patience and understanding are appreciated.
