“I rise today in support of expressing our gratitude for postal workers that have done such an outstanding job of delivering mail during this time of national emergency. Indeed, with regard to this resolution, the Nation's postal workers provide a valuable service to Americans by helping to connect our society through the careful and prompt delivery of mail.

We have all said, ``Through wind and rain, sleet and snow,'' but now, for the first time, it is through safety threats against postal workers. In October, as reports of anthrax-tainted letters began to surface, postal workers' lives were placed in jeopardy and the effective delivery of mail was threatened. Recognizing the importance of the Postal Service through this legislation can help to demonstrate our support and concern for the safety of postal workers as they perform their duties.”
