Whereas the United States Postal Service owns and operates the largest United States civilian vehicle fleet with over 200,000 delivery vehicles; Whereas close to 140,000 of these vehicles are Grumman Long Life Vehicles (LLVs), and have been in service since between 1987 and 1994, which are aging, fuel inefficient, and carbon emitting; Whereas the United States Postal Service spends close to $618,000,000 to maintain the fleet and vehicles, and close to $432,000,000 on fuel; Whereas the current fleet lacks adequate safety protections such as airbags, air conditioning, and antilock brakes; Whereas, on February 23, 2021, the United States Postal Service announced a 10-year contract of up to $482,000,000 in initial investments to produce up to 165,000 vehicles; Whereas Postmaster General Louis DeJoy stated that only 10 percent of the vehicles will be electric vehicles, and the remaining 90 percent will be gas powered; Whereas the tenure of Louis DeJoy has been highly controversial in the face of concerns with his competence and the undue political influence of presidential politics as a guiding principle for his decision making at the helm of the United States Postal Service; Whereas the Biden administration’s Executive Order No. 14008, Tackling the Climate Crisis at Home and Abroad , and our national commitment to the Paris Climate Accord is undermined by the contract awarded by the United States Postal Service; and Whereas the development of a modern fleet will help to develop domestic supply chains in the United States, promote competitiveness of domestic green industry, and lead our Nation to a cleaner, better future: Now, therefore, be it

That the House of Representatives— (1) expresses deep concern with the United States Postal Service decision-making process and recent fleet contract because it undermines the national interest, and fails to protect national climate goals; (2) urges the United States Postal Service to freeze the recently awarded contract to purchase 165,000 new vehicles until an expedited review is conducted to determine there was no inappropriate political influence and that the proposed contract is consistent with the Federal obligations contained in the Biden administration’s Executive Order No. 14008, Tackling the Climate Crisis at Home and Abroad , and the Paris Climate Accord; and (3) expresses support for the need for a replacement fleet that meets the climate goals of the United States, protects critical supply chains, and promotes a cleaner, more stable future for a burgeoning 21st century domestic vehicle industry.

Whereas the COVID–19 public health emergency has displayed the importance of essential staff to keeping our country and the Federal Government operating; Whereas the essential staff of the United States Capitol Complex, including custodial, cafeteria and food service, maintenance, transportation, and infrastructure staff, show up daily to serve Members of Congress and staff regardless of political ideology, weather conditions, Government shutdowns, and more; Whereas essential staff are often underappreciated and overworked as they provide much needed services at the United States Capitol; Whereas the violent insurrection on January 6, 2021, left essential staff fleeing for their lives, with many staff detailing stories of hiding in closets or nearby offices fearing for their safety; Whereas essential staff, many of whom are minorities, were forced to confront the racist and White nationalist symbols that occupied the United States Capitol; Whereas essential staff, often left vulnerable in hostile situations, have had little time to process the traumatic events that took place on January 6, 2021; Whereas after the attack ended, essential staff worked through the evening and late-night hours to clean up the aftermath of the destructive mob that ransacked the Complex who left behind broken glass, doors, and signage, trash, and bigoted symbols, as well as the horrific and vile spreading of feces along walls; and Whereas essential staff continued their regular duties without delay through the long night while Members of Congress certified the results of the Presidential election: Now, therefore, be it

That the House of Representatives— (1) honors the essential staff of the United States Capitol Complex as unsung heroes; (2) recognizes and thanks the invaluable contributions of these staff before, during, and after the January 6, 2021, attack; and (3) extends its support to these staff as they recover from the ordeal of the attack and commits to better protecting all staff who work throughout the Capitol Complex.
