tions in major national labor unions; and 
Whereas New York’s 13th Congressional District is home to

Whereas door delivery is a vital service that the American 
people have relied on since the 1860s in both rural and 
urban areas and ensures the security of mail and pack-
ages; 
Whereas voluntary conversion of businesses in 2013 equated 
to a mere 0.8 percent of voluntary conversions confirming 
that businesses depend on in-person contact with letter 
carriers to ensure transactional security and initiate new 
business and revenue for the Postal Service; 
Whereas millions of Americans will be forced to retrieve their 
daily mail and packages from a centralized location re-
moving the daily convenience for Americans in receiving 
checks, medications and other essential items; and 
Whereas eliminating or reducing door delivery services will
