On the recordJuly 23, 2002
to answer the questions posed by the gentleman from New York (Mr. Serrano), yes, I think we can definitely work together to address his concerns about postal service in the Bronx. The gentleman is correct that we have included report language at the request of the gentleman from New York (Mr. Crowley) concerning the Post Office in Morris Park. We have recommended that the Postal Service investigate this situation and report recommendations for corrective action, reporting that to the committee. When we go to conference with the Senate, we can and will work with the gentleman from New York (Mr. Serrano) to come up with additional report language to take care of the issue regarding the Postal Service in the Bronx, presuming, of course, that the distinguished ranking member of the committee has no objections.
