In response to your claim that the project meets 1, 2, and 3 of the Standards of Rehabilitation I would disagree. The project as of yet does not meet standard #3.

Each Property shall be recognized as a physical record of it's time, place, and use. Changes that create a false sense of historical development, such as adding conjectural features or archtectual elements from other buildings shall not be undertaken.

The James A. Farley Building/Post Office is a National Landmark dedicated in 1982 as a "monument" to the political career of former Postmaster General and Franklin Roosevelt's campaign manager James A. Farley. This dedication has historical significance because Farley is a historical figure. (comes via H. Res 368 1982)
Removing his name and the post office from the Landmark does not recognize the physical record of "it's time, place, and use." The assertion that the construction of the Moynihan Station inside of the Farley Building, somehow negates the fact that the Landmark is Mr. Farley's monument is a legally weak argument and is one of the largest historical crimes anyone has ever attempted in the City of New York in the name of Development. Daniel Patrick Moynihan would have been honored to have the station dedicated in his honor,
and it is only fitting that before he passed he warned those involved with the project "Good old Jim Farley's name should stay there!". The removal of the Farley Post Office from the Farley Building kills the project, and would be a crime against Farley's legacy and thus the nation, 2-4 billion dollars is not worth it.

How does the removal of the landmark post office and the name of an important historical figure such as Farley meet standard #3 Removing the Post Office and Farley's dedication does not recognize the physical record of time place and use. There must be clear separations and distinctions between the "Historic" Farley Post Office, and the reuse of part of the landmark as the "Newly Constructed" Moynihan Station. Transforming Farley into Moynihan is unacceptable and the two must be clearly defined to meet the Secretary of Interiors Standards. Its just that simple!
