Akard ~~ Dallas, Texas 7~201 Dear Larry: I have obtained a copy of the federal law which requires federal agencies to comply with local building codes. Attached is a copy for your review. It appears that Section 2i (g) states that this law applies only to buildings that are funded for the first time after Septe~er 30, 19E9. Since the North Texas Mail Facility was funded in 1988, it appears tha% this building is exempt from this law. Sincerely, Dalo aackson Bu~ld~n~ Official DJ/mm xc: Alan D.
