This is not good legislation. It doesn't do what it says it will do.

I don't know where that came from. I don't know why it was used. It is not broken. It is working.

If you charge carriers and small businesses more to provide goods, those expenses will simply be handed down to the communities in the form of higher grocery prices.

you are worried about $70 million that would cost $200 million. I don't quite understand that.

The bill will actually have the opposite effect, make the system more expensive and less effective for the Postal Service and customers.

We have not had an accident. We have delivered the mail. There hasn't been any real problems.

the system has been working for a period of time where each carrier now has a system by equipment, loading capability.

Wrong again. Just to point out the issue that we responded to the IG report in regards to your example.

the efficiency goes out the door.

I would just also quote our former CENTCOM Commander, General James Mattis. He criticized the administration's weak response in dealing with the Iranian plot to assassinate the Ambassador of Saudi Arabia here.

the first thing I asked my briefers about when I woke up every morning was Iran, Iran, Iran.

You're still scratching your head?

We had--in fact, we entered in the record some commentary from some folks that said that's being considered.

The joint plan of action is a lopsided bad deal for the United States and for our allies.

I don't see any reason for it to remain a state secret other than the administration doesn't want the American people to see how badly we got suckered.

Iran is the world's foremost state sponsor of terrorism.

The situation is ridiculous. It is completely unreasonable to ask vessel operators to comply with 2 Federal standards and as many as 25 different contradictory and unachievable State standards.

I am very concerned that some of these regulations fail to achieve that balance.
