It is critical that we address the FERS issue, the overpayment, and that we can get that money back.

Thank you so much for joining us today. Thanks for your preparation.

I want to come back, and before I yield to Senator Begich for his closing questions, just for clarification...

Both Senator Carper's bill and Senator Collins's bill would fix this problem, and we strongly support those efforts.

There will be some followup questions, I am sure, and we would appreciate your prompt response to those.

Most of it is from foreign sources. A lot of it is from places that are undemocratic, frankly, unreliable, and we need to reduce that.

We must be--we have also lowered the cost of processing inside plants.

how important is it that the Postal financial relief bill that we consider here in Congress go beyond simply pensions and retiree health issues.

I have always said, and we have talked about this before, some day, somebody will look back at the Postal Service and say we had a Post Office in every community in America and we went to every door 6 days a week.

Senator Carper's bill proposes allowing the Postal Service to provide non-Postal services utilizing Postal physical and digital infrastructure in a manner consistent with public interest.

The crisis the Postal Service faces is more urgent now than it has been in the past.
