The United States Postal Service continues to try to fix themselves financially with service cuts that will undermine the agency's viability, not strengthen it. I am pleased to be a cosponsor of my colleague Congresswoman Rosa DeLauro's legislation, the Protect Overnight Delivery Act, to prevent the Postal Service from weakening delivery standards. Eliminating overnight delivery would threaten hundreds of postal facilities across the Nation, including the William Street facility in my western New York community. Madam Speaker, while the Postal Service is certainly in need of reform, this is the wrong way to do it. Once again, the Postal Service is making ill-conceived decisions that hurt both workers and consumers. ____________________
