RtHan Reports
Delivering the mail is an essential task of government, but it is also one of the most troubling of problems facing the Congress today. In some 40,000 post offices nationwide, dedicated postal workers attempt to provide speedy, efficient service that will link the American people through written communication. Rising costs, however, have led to serious financial troubles for the Postal Service. That has prompted Congress to reexamine the mail distribution network and how it is managed. In 1970, Congress created an independent postal agency that was supposed to enable the government to handle mail delivery on a more businesslike basis. Operations of the Postal Service were to be supervised by a Board of Governors, which would hire the Postmaster General, set postal rates and determine the directions of postal service. Many of us who serve in Congress now, however, feel that the 1970 act went too far in removing the Postal Service from public control. In effect, the agency was insulated from the needs and desires of the American public. This was made clear twice in the past three years when serious consideration was given to widespread closings of rural post offices. Members of Congress who represent rural districts opposed the closings. But effective and comprehensive postal reform legislation seemed necessary to return some common sense management to the Postal Service. Mail delivery as a service of government has been endangered by the increasing financial crisis facing the Postal Service. At the end of last year, the Postal Service deficit had grown to more- than four billion. Congress had declared in 1970 that the Postal Service was to be self-supporting, but that seemed increasingly impossible if current services were to be maintained. As a result, the House passed legislation last week which should begin to correct some of the problems faced by the Postal Service. In the Postal Service Act of 1978 (H.R. 7700), which now will face the Senate, several important provisions were included:

— Any nationwide changes in service, such as post office closings, could be vetoed by the vote of either the House or the Senate. — The Postmaster General will be an officer appointed by the President to a four-year term, subject to Senate confirmation. — Additional public service appropriations totaling SBOO million annually would be authorized, to enable the Postal Service to maintain the current level of services. — New guidelines would be set for determining postal a rates, requiring that the total volume of mail produce sufficient revenue to pay most of the Postal Service costs. — If the Postal Service wants to close or consolidate a post office, a public hearing would be required in the communities involved. — The public service appropriations would be designed to pay for maintaining small post offices, research and development programs similar to those in private industry and maintaining six-day delivery. American citizens deserve fast, accurate mail delivery service. I believe that the Postal Service Act of 1978 will improve the operations of the Postal Service, and I hope citizens will join me in urging quick Senate action.
