Postmaster
General Patrick R. Donahoe went to Capitol Hill Tuesday to support the Postal
Service’s plan to return the agency to
fiscal solvency.
Donahoe told legislators during a hearing of the House
Subcommittee on Federal Workforce, U.S. Postal Service and Labor Policy the comprehensive
plan USPS has developed will produce a reduction in annual costs of $22.5 billion
by 2016. He said the plan provides a “clear path toward financial stability”
for USPS.
The PMG urged Congress to consider the comprehensive plan
favorably. He said its adoption would allow USPS to meet its universal service
obligations and its employees would continue providing reliable and affordable
service to the public. “We believe it’s a responsible approach that’s fair to
our customers and our employees,” he said.
