At the same time a pre-existing law exempted the US Postal Service from any federal law that didn't specifically name it as being subject to that law.
Interestingly enough, the same law prohibiting everybody but DOD from filling in an estuary didn't name USPS. This meant USPS could fill in an estuary any time it pleased.
I thought this was quite ineresting and checked with the Facilities folks at USPS to see if they were aware of this. They already had a list of such projects worked up and my informant suggested they had accelerated the schedule of work before the environmentalists noticed.
More proof the inmates are running the GovernMental Insane Asylum!!!
