My concern is not over a good faith debate about proper policy and objectives. Instead, I would suggest these issues be considered and brought up using the normal legislative process. I am convinced that if we had worked through the committees of proper jurisdiction with the necessary background on the subject-matter, not only would we have been able to reach a faster resolution, but probably would have avoided two years of rancor and disagreement. I want to be very clear with the Members of the Subcommittee. Despite the misinformation being spread by Postal competitors, competition within the mailing market is fierce.
Private companies are free to charge different rates for delivery to different addresses.
Or, in the alternative, they may choose to provide no service at all. The revenue generated by such products helps us maintain universal service. At best, the tactics used by these companies refuses to acknowledge this necessity. At worst, they simply don't care. Without this stream of revenue, the Postal Service will not be able meet with the your constituents' demand for service.
