POST OFFICE DEPARTMENT

SUBJECT: Letter of Warning

TO: Mr. Henry Chinaski

Information has been received in this office indicating that  you
were arrested by the Los Angeles Police Department on March 12,
1969, on a drunk charge.
In this connection,  your attention is invited to Section 744.12 of
the Postal Manual, as follows:

“Postal  employees are servants of  the general  public and their
conduct,  in many instances,  must  be subject to more restrictions
and to higher standards than may be for certain private employ-
ments. Employees are expected to conduct themselves during and
outside of working hours in a manner which will reflect favorably
upon the Postal Service. Although it is not the policy of the Post
Office Department to interfere with the private lives of employees,
it  does require that  Postal  personnel  be honest,  reliable,  trust-
worthy, and of good character and reputation.”
While your arrest was on a relatively minor charge, it
constitutes evidence of your failure to conduct yourself as required in a
manner which will reflect favorably upon the Postal Service. You are
hereby cautioned and warned that a repetition of this offense or other
involvement with police authorities will leave this office no alternative
but to consider disciplinary action.

You may submit your written explanation in this matter if you
wish to do so.
