Government Relations

Inquiries From Members of Congress and Federal Government Agencies

One of the primary responsibilities of the vice president of Government Relations is to respond to inquiries from members of Congress and federal government agencies, and to inform them, when appropriate, about Postal Service™ policy matters.

Policy matters include, but are not limited to, network changes, ratemaking, mail classification, contracting and procurement, real estate, personnel issues, and any other issues in which members of Congress have expressed interest or that may have an impact on their constituents.

We are pleased to report that, in most instances, field officials appropriately forward inquiries from Congress and federal agencies to Government Relations. This notice is just a reminder that field officials should forward correspondence on policy matters from members of Congress and federal agencies to:

Marie Therese Dominguez
Vice President of Government Relations
United States Postal Service
475 L’Enfant Plz SW
Washington DC 20260-3500

The vice president’s telephone number is 202–268–2506.

In addition to correspondence from members of Congress and federal agencies, field officials should report all telephone calls and discussions with members of Congress and federal agencies to the manager of Government Relations who is responsible for your state. Also, any meetings, briefings, or events planned with members of Congress should be coordinated with Government Relations.

To determine the appropriate manager of Government Relations for your state, go to http://blue.usps.gov/grweb/. Thank you for your cooperation.

Note: Field officials are authorized to respond directly to inquiries from members of Congress and federal agencies that are related to services provided to local customers. For further information, please consult the Administrative Support Manual, section 338.3.
