RESPONSE OF THE UNITED STATES POSTAL SERVICE
TO INTERROGATORY OF THE DIRECT MARKETING ASSOCIATION
REDIRECTED FROM WITNESS LOUTSCH
DMA/USPS-T6-18. Please refer to the attached article, which may be found on the web
at http://www.defensetech.org/archives/002522.html.
a)
Has the Postal Service entered in an agreement, a contract, a Memorandum of
Understanding, or any other arrangement(s) with Los Alamos National Lab?
b)
If so, please describe these arrangement(s) and provide all documents
pertaining to them.
c)
If so, please provide the date the Postal Service entered into the arrangement(s)
d)
If so, please provide an analysis of the accrued costs and revenues that the
Postal Service has realized and expects to realize over the next 5 years.
RESPONSE:
The Postal Service has entered into non-binding MOUs with the Department of
Energy/National Nuclear Security Administration’s Los Alamos Site Office to explore the
potential for cooperation in the development of facilities. A copy of the most recent
MOU is attached. The Postal Service determined, however, that the DOE had no
acceptable sites for potential postal facilities and is no longer pursuing acquisition of
DOE property. Accordingly, no real estate transactions resulting in costs or revenues
over the next 5 years have ensued.
