The disapproval is based not so much on the consideration of the additional expense involved should the bill become a law as on the broad consideration of public policy and the management of the postal service

This bill contains so many provisions that would hamper the administration of the postal service in determining its personnel needs

The Postmaster General is hereby authorized to submit the name of Robert Shultice for nomination by the President as postmaster at Norfolk, Virginia.
