room. The Mail Service staff sorts roughly 1.5 million pieces of
intramural mail and 13 million pieces of incoming domestic mail
each year. It also handles 52 tons of international mail and applies
$2.5 million in postage to outgoing domestic mail. The Mail Service
will also offer tax certification and folding and inserting when
it moves to new, larger facilities in the Left Bank complex March
