Re: Reckless Endangerment of V Street Postal Employees

Dear Postmaster General Potter:

Judicial Watch, Inc. (“Judicial Watch”) is a non-profit, non-partisan, public interest group that investigates and prosecutes government corruption and abuse. Judicial Watch represents hundreds of United States Postal Service (“USPS”) workers and a USPS workers’ support group organized as “Brentwood Exposed,” concerning all matters related to the October 2001 anthrax attacks.

Media stories over the last 24 hours have reported that a letter addressed to the Federal Reserve Board, and processed at the V Street Post Office, tested positive on three (3) occasions over the past twelve (12) days for anthrax bacteria contamination. As you know, a number of our clients, among them former Brentwood postal workers, are assigned to the V Street Post Office.

Your subordinate, Tom Day, the Vice President for Engineering at the USPS, was quoted in press reports yesterday as saying that “There’s absolutely nothing that indicates we have a contamination problem here.” The last time USPS officials made such unfounded, broad, sweeping statements, two postal workers died and over 2000 postal workers were exposed to the deadly anthrax pathogen.

This letter serves as notice that, should events at the V Street facility unfold as they did at Brentwood, we will pursue strong legal action against all responsible parties on behalf of our postal worker clients.

Govern yourselves accordingly.

Sincerely,

Larry Klayman

Chairman and General Counsel
