Chairwoman, Committee on Oversight and Reform

Ranking Member, Committee on Oversight and Reform
U.S. House of Representatives, Washington, DC 20515

Dear Madam Chairwoman and Ranking Member Comer:
The undersigned organizations are pleased to offer their support for the Postal Service Reform Act, HR 3076, on the Floor of the House of Representatives. We urge every Member of the House to vote “aye” on this critical, bipartisan legislation.
By repealing the unaffordable “prefunding” of postal retiree health benefits and integrating postal annuitants who had not yet subscribed to Medicare, your bill contributes very heavily toward stabilizing the finances of the Postal Service. And by mandating codification of an integrated six-day delivery network, you ensure the most efficient and valuable means for delivering mail and packages, and remove it from the uncertainties of the annual appropriations process.
We also appreciate provisions in the bill that deal with rural newspaper sustainability, flats inefficiencies and more.
We are all part of the huge postal-reliant industry – mail, packages and our supply chain — which, in 2019, accounted for $1.6 trillion in sales and more than 7 million jobs nationwide, but an industry under threat from problems confronting USPS. Your bill addresses critical parts of those problems effectively and appropriately.
So, on behalf of our industry, we want to thank you both for this very helpful legislation, and congratulate you on bringing it to this point. We would also like to express our appreciation to your staffs, whose hard and extensive work contributed so greatly to making this bill possible.
Sincerely,
