USPS to Los Alamos: No Deal

The Postal Service says, no, it has not entered into an agreement to finance a new science complex for Los Alamos National Laboratory. The agency says it had only signed a "non-binding memorandum of understanding" with the Energy Department to "explore the possibility" of helping with such an effort in exchange for a parcel of land for a new postal facility. Now the postal folks have backed off the whole deal. (Thanks again to DefenseLink for keeping us updated on this.)
