Mail sent to Congressman Moore

Mail delivery is still delayed -- faxes and e-mails recommended

Due to anthrax contamination found in Senate and House mail rooms, as well as congressional mail processing facilities, mail delivery to Rep. Moore's office was halted from October 15 to December 11, 2001. Mail sent to Congress after October 11 is being sent to a facility for decontamination. Delivery of small amounts of backlogged mail has resumed, however the vast majority of mail remains undelivered.

According to House Speaker Hastert, "If you sent your representative a letter after [October 11], it may take a while for that letter to arrive to that representative's office. In fact, in some cases, it might not arrive at all."

In the meantime, constituents are encouraged to e-mail, fax, or phone comments to any of Congressman Moore's offices. Constituents can still use the U.S. Postal Service to write to Moore, however it is not known when timely mail delivery to his Washington, DC, office will start again. A notice will be posted on this website when congressional mail delivery returns to normal levels.

Mail sent from Congressman Moore

If you recently received a letter, package, or flag from Congressman Moore, you can rest assured that it passed through a mail facility that has been tested and determined to be free of anthrax contamination. While some mail sent prior to October 16, 2001 did pass through the Brentwood postal facility, the outgoing mail section of that facility has been determined to be free of contamination. Anthrax was only found in the incoming mail section of that sprawling facility.

Since the discovery of anthrax at the Brentwood post office, outgoing mail from Capitol Hill has been sent through a facility in Southern that has been determined to be free of anthrax contamination.

In addition, Congressman Moore's Washington, DC, office has been tested and determined to be anthrax-free.
