>From the US Postal Service website (Dated October 26, 2001):



"WASHINGTON, DC - The Postal Service today awarded a contract to The

Titan Corporation of San Diego, CA, to provide electron beam systems and

services to sanitize mail. Titan will subcontract with its subsidiary

SureBeam to provide the proprietary electron beam systems.



According to Postmaster General John E. Potter, one of the first areas

to receive equipment will be the greater Washington Metropolitan Area,

when delivery of the systems begins next month.



The contract award, for approximately $40 million, is for the purchase

of eight systems and includes an option to expand the order to purchase

12 additional systems.



In addition to providing the equipment, The Titan Corporation will

operate and maintain the systems. The Postal Service also has contracted

to use a Titan facility to sanitize mail using electron beam

technology."
