Thomas R. Carper: “One of the things that we have done as a Congress is to provide the resources to help change that.”

I am the last Vietnam Veteran serving in the U.S. Senate, and kind of relates to my great affection and interest in the postal issues.

Last year, the Environment and Public Works Committee held, I think, not one, but a couple of hearings on permitting, common theme at our hearings, on the importance of public engagement.

I 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.

Well, there is a good compromise out there, and I think if we are smart and don't give up today, we will find it.
