CURRENT TOUR STATUS
We are currently not accepting any new requests for tour reservations
due to the pending effects of the Federal sequestration beginning on or
about March 1. In the event of sequestration all tours beginning in
April will be cancelled due to staff furloughs.

I note that JPL just cancelled/postponed its annual open house for the
same reason.
If someone who works at USNO is willing to take you around, that's
another matter, but bear in mind that visit requests often take several
days (if not a week or more) to process for most government labs.
