We, as a major Board of Directors here on this Committee, but certainly the Board of Directors for the post office has not been functioning for a long period of time.

Where frequently the problems that we talk about here may not have reached America in the same way, America knows that the post office is not delivering the way they used to deliver.

We are going to hold you to that, Mr. Williams, because frequently what we find out is that when push comes to shove and we end up financial, we start hearing about reducing service.

Our choices are pretty limited. Your choices are going to be pretty limited if we do not do postal reform.

I urge my colleagues to work together to get this important legislation to the President's desk.

I think at a time when there is an incredible amount of distrust about what is happening, especially in the regulatory environment, transparency is better than no transparency.

I would like to see all the evidence that went into it.

that process has to be accountable, and the media has to have access to information so they can fairly report to the public.

This is not some ethereal academic study that we are talking about here. This is about what goes into the purse at the end of the night, that helps people live.

this is the difference of whether people can put food on the table.

the public has a right to know that this is maybe where it went across the rails.

But this is not any way to run the railroad, and we need to lay down a marker right now, that we are going to be watching for this kind of backhanded, ham-handed, irresponsible kind of rulemaking process.
