Let me see if I understand this, there has been weapons grade anthrax at Dashele's office and there is still mail being permitted in the Capitol building? Is this stupid?

Beyond stupid. It's absolutely insane. I work at the Library of Congress. There are underground tunnels that connect our 3 buildings with those of the Capitol, House and Senate Offices. The building I work in is across the street from Daschle's offices. I just came from a meeting about how to handle mail. I work in the Congressional Research Division of the Library, and we get and deliver mail to Congress everyday.

Our mail procedures have been changed dramatically and we have been issued gloves. Our venitilation system was turned off yesterday. I wouldn't be surprised if we are told to go home so a clean sweep could be made of the Library's buildings.

Yes, of course it's stupid......but they just couldn't find anyone willing to iron the mail for them!
