FCC facility remains closed to U.S. Mail

By Bill McConnell -- Broadcasting & Cable, 2/5/2002 12:48:00 PM

The Federal Communications Commission's suburban mail-handling facility remained closed to the U.S. Postal Service Tuesday as efforts continued to eliminate trace amounts of anthrax contamination.

Overnight and United Parcel Service of America Inc. shipments are still being accepted.

Because only trace amounts of anthrax have been discovered, FCC mail-processing contractors are advised to not take precautionary antibiotics.

The source of the contamination is believed to be cross-contamination with other mail sent to the Washington, D.C., area and not directed specifically at the FCC.
