Vermont Congressional Delegation Comments On The Discovery Of Anthrax In Mail Sent To Senator Daschle "The discovery of an anthrax-bearing package, addressed to Senator Daschle, is a disturbing development that once again demonstrates how the world changed on Sept. 11. "The House and the Senate have put in place added security procedures concerning mail. We believe it is important for Vermonters to know that this will slow the mail sent to our offices in Vermont and in Washington, but the mail will still get through. We are determined to keep open the lines of communication that we have always had with the people of Vermont. We also encourage our constituents to consider the option of sending their messages by e-mail to speed the process. "Given the large volume of mail received each day in congressional offices, this latest threat, for now, is a small one, but it is real, and the precautions taken in the Senate and House to deal with it are warranted. We offer our support and concern to Senator Daschle and his staff, and we know that these developments also have increased the pressures already felt by postal employees and others, including our own staffs." # # # # # NOTE: Following are the e-mail addresses for the members of the Vermont Congressional Delegation: senator_leahy@leahy.senate.gov vermont@jeffords.senate.gov bernie@mail.house.gov
