Today a number of postmasters from the United States Postal Service were in my office, and they had a very good idea about how important the U.S. Postal Service is, the jobs that it creates, and how we should find solutions. In my own community, heavily occupied by seniors, they cried out when post offices were closed that were close to their community, where they were able to walk and secure their checks. Some of them like to come directly to handle their business. We are better than closing down post offices in rural and urban America, and we're better than not finding a solution to employ hardworking Americans in an efficient and effective manner. I look forward to working with our postal family, those hardworking Americans all across America who have been the good Samaritans to determine whether our seniors were in need of bringing medicine to homebound patients, bringing information and helping small businesses. We can work to solve this problem efficiently and effectively. ____________________
