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.

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.
Actually, there might even be an opportunity to partner with Members of Congress.
I was privileged to work with her a couple of years ago on this legislation, and I never thought at the time that we would continue to work on it as much as we have.
If you go from 6 to 5 days, some of your customers, including your competitors, might be less inclined to use you as a partner for going that last mile.
I think what we just heard, it could cycle on and off. Part of the year, busier times.
I would just ask that the people you have work on this stuff, put that in their calculations.
So as Congress would consider policy decisions such as a reduction in service from 6 to 5 days, you could go back to your constituents and explain to them how this is all going to work.
It is a little hard to understand at the end of the day how you got to a number like that.
