Congress Starts New Mail Inspections
WASHINGTON -- The House and the Senate are initiating new mail inspection procedures, including the opening of all mail at an off-site location, after the latest discovery of a deadly substance in the postal system.

Under new protocols, all letters will be removed from envelopes and then reinserted and resealed after being found safe, House Sergeant at Arms Bill Livingood and Chief Administrative Office Jay Eagen said in a letter to House members.

The Senate Sergeant at Arms office said similar measures would be adopted on the Senate side.
