I am the last Vietnam Veteran serving in the U.S. Senate, and kind of relates to my great affection and interest in the postal issues.
People ask me what I am proudest of in my life, and I always say, raising three boys, with a big assist from their mom.

I think the greatest way that the Commission can have an impact on that is probably through our rate-making authority.
