If I had known--as you know, the breadth of the issues that we cover in this Committee are enormous. It is impossible for any of us to fully master each of them.
There is a good compromise out there, and I think if we are smart and don't give up today, we will find it.
It will be a significant feat for the Postal Service and for OPM to implement this new program.
But my hope is, on a serious note, my hope is that the issues we just discussed... we can keep at it today and see if we can't find a way to yes that is reasonable and acceptable to all of us.
