Thomas R. Carper: “We the people of the United States, in order to form a more perfect union.”

Given how important this obviously is, my only regret is that we didn't have an opportunity to talk about it 24 hours ago.

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.

Thank you for your passion, and I would ask that we spend the rest of this day dealing with this.

Well, there is a good compromise out there, and I think if we are smart and don't give up today, we will find it.
