My amendment provides for greater disclosure of franked mass mail costs than is currently provided. It requires that the statement, ``this mass mailing was prepared, published and mailed at taxpayer expense'' be printed on each mass mailing.

It also provides for piece and cost comparisons based on the number of addresses that are in each district.
