Post Offices Closed Today to Honor President Ford

There will be no regular mail delivery or retail service at U.S. Post Offices on Tuesday, Jan. 2.

The closings are due to an Executive Order issued by President Bush directing federal government agencies to close as a mark of respect for former President Gerald Ford, who died Dec. 26.

Express Mail deliveries will be made on Jan. 2. Regular retail and delivery service will resume Wednesday, Jan. 3.

The New York Stock Exchange and Nasdaq will also be closed today.
