Rep. Mac Collins has announced

some changes in his office's contact information in the wake of the recent

anthrax concerns.

"Due to the continued

safety concerns caused by the receipt of an anthrax tainted letter at

Congressional offices, the House of Representatives leadership has made

the decision to keep House office buildings closed until further notice,"

according to a written statement from his office.

"Currently, and for and

undetermined time, we are unable to receive mail in our Washington, D.C.

office. Therefore, we are asking all constituents to contact us through

our district offices or by fax or e-mail."

Collins has two local offices

in Columbus (706-327-7228) and Jonesboro (770-603-3395). E-mail messages

can still be sent to [email protected] , and his Web site

( www.house.gov/maccollins ) is up and running as well.

All invitations and scheduling

requests are to be sent to the Jonesboro office (fax number is 770-603-3402)

to the attention of Pat Koch.

" While the House office

buildings are closed, we are utilizing temporary office space and meeting

as a legislative body in the Capitol," the statement read. "We

will make sure that the people's business is getting done. We appreciate

your assistance and patience during this time."
