RYAN ASKS CONSTITUENTS TO CALL, FAX, SEND E-MAIL Regular Mail Service Delayed Due to Security Concerns

First District Congressman Paul Ryan today requested that First District residents contact him by phone, fax, or e-mail, rather than by regular mail, if they need timely responses. Due to heightened security and additional screening of incoming letters and packages, mail addressed to Ryan's Washington office will be subject to delay.

"This extra security is a smart step," Ryan said, "but we want to make certain that constituents can still communicate with us and get timely answers to their questions. Because there will be delays in mail delivery to our office, First District residents who need quick responses to their questions should call, fax, or send me an e-mail instead of a letter, for the time being. I appreciate everyone's patience and cooperation during this time."

Constituents who would like to contact Paul Ryan or a member of his staff can use the following numbers:

Washington, D.C. office –	Ph: 202-225-3031	Fax: 202-225-3393
