Congressman Lamar Smith, Twenty First Congressional District of Texas
Early in 2004, our mail delivery procedures were altered and new security measures were implemented.
All mail to Congressional offices in Washington, D.C. is opened off-site. The contents of letters, packages and other mail is tested for hazardous materials at an off-site facility before being repackaged and delivered to the Capitol or House office buildings.
Mail to House offices face delays of approximately 6-9 business days, though at times the delay may be even longer.
If you want to write to me about an issue important to you, here are your best options:
Send an e-mail through the Contact Lamar section of my website or fax your letter to our office at (202) 225-8628.
You may also address your letters to our district offices. The contact information can be found in the Staff Information section on the Constituent Services page of my website.
Please do not hesitate to contact me with your comments, questions and concerns. I always enjoy hearing from my constituents.
