The only people who do not make mistakes are the people who do not do anything.

We need for the House to pass a bill.

The legislation that we passed with a bipartisan majority in the Senate does not solve all the problems.

I think we have come to a pretty good place. And a lot of people have worked on this.

I, as I said earlier, co-authored that legislation with Senator Collins and a number of our colleagues.

But there is hope in a hopeless world, and there is, I think, reason to be hopeful for the Postal Service, too.

I have encouraged friends at the National Association of Letter Carriers and the current leadership and the previous leadership to do what I think they tried to do a number of years ago, and that is to negotiate with management to see if…

And vote-by-mail is, I think, a great idea for States.

But, rather than say we are going to close post offices, what we have done is say if there are 13,000 post offices with economic challenges, why do we not give the communities a menu of options?

The Postal Service has to do something to increase revenues and cut costs.

My hope is that the House will pass a bill, I do not care, any bill, and just call it a postal bill and pass it on suspension, voice vote, and we will go to conference and hammer something out that is hopefully a better bill than the…

The situation is dire, but it is not hopeless.

Its continued vitality is an important part of our efforts to get the economy moving again.

One of the beauties about what they are doing in Illinois is putting a spotlight on it.

It makes no sense. I do not want to come back and have to deal with that next year.

We are going to have to figure out how to raise revenues.

We need to look at those incidents, near misses, as the FAA looks at accidents for aircraft.

Let me jump in here, if I can. I apologize for missing your comments.

The other one that is just crying out to get done is cybersecurity.

I spent quite a few years of my life as a naval flight officer back during the Vietnam War and then subsequent to that and during the Cold War.

the only way we are ever going to finish a postal bill is to get the bill on the floor, debate it, amend it, and vote on it.

Some people think we do not get much done around here. Just in the last 7 months, we have actually agreed on bipartisan legislation...

He has committed to bring cybersecurity legislation to the floor during the course of this work period, and it is imperative that we do that.

I think you cannot manage what you cannot measure.
