USPS 101: Resources for Congressional Postal Staffers
Channel: R Street Institute
Date: 2019-03-28

R Street Institute is a nonprofit, nonpartisan, public policy research organization. Our mission is to engage in policy research and outreach to promote free markets and limited, effective government.

We believe free markets work better than the alternatives. We also recognize that the legislative process calls for practical responses to current problems. To that end, our motto is “Free markets. Real solutions.”

We offer research and analysis that advance the goals of a more market-oriented society and an effective, efficient government, with the full realization that progress on the ground tends to be made one inch at a time. In other words, we look for free-market victories on the margin.

They understand that Congress governs the post office, and has the authority to address whatever mail complaints they might have. Sometimes, responses are simple, but other questions require more research.
To that end, the R Street Institute invites you to a luncheon to discuss where and how to look for answers to questions about the post office. We will be joined by Ann Fisher of the Postal Regulatory Commission (PRC), who can explain the PRC’s role in postal policy, and how the Commission can help you. R Street has also produced an introduction to postal policy that will be presented at this event.
