I would just ask that the people you have work on this stuff, put that in their calculations.

Let me just throw out an idea here. I am trying to be entrepreneurial and trying to think of ways that you could be more entrepreneurial.

I think Mr. Potter would--and he has argued here before--to point out, I think with some pride, the amount of costs that they have taken out of the system in this decade alone.

How widely known are those options, Mr. Potter? Have you done any surveying on that to find out just how many people actually realize what their options are?

I think you are going to tell us, but why?

I think there is some agreement, at least among Senator Collins, Senator Lieberman, and myself, that if we are not comfortable going with 8 years, we may be comfortable going with 2 years.

I think it is incumbent to lay it out in a strategy that would talk about not only 6-day-a-week delivery but what other options are being considered.

Didn't you do this in the earlier part of this decade as we were coming out of a recession, 6, 7, or 8 years ago?

So the next 2 or 3 years you will continue that reduction.

The area that we identified in the statement is looking at the employer share of the employee--what the employer pays, the Postal Service, on behalf of its employees for their health care premiums, for current employees.

In Delaware, we have a big incorporation business.

I will be anxious to see their new price filings when they come forward with the rate adjustments for May.

I just want to say if you look in the auto industry, domestic auto industry, I think they actually have now more retirees than active employees.

The 400 processing facilities we have, I understand that the nature of the work that goes on in those facilities has changed a good deal.

It is interesting. You closed 58 out of 59 air mail facilities and one out of, what, 400 processing facilities?

You squeeze--let's say $6 billion out of what?

I have heard from the car companies who have said we have the technology literally to put vehicles that use hydrogen out on the road--cars, trucks, vans--but we do not have the infrastructure in order to make it successful.

One of the things that we are trying to do is to push money toward putting people to work.
