    June 28, 2017 The Honorable Kevin Brady The Honorable Richard Neal Chairman Ranking Member Committee on Ways & Means Committee on Ways & Means U.S. House of Representatives U.S. House of Representatives Washington, DC 20515 Washington, DC 20515 Dear Mr. Chairman and Ranking Member Neal: The undersigned companies and trade associations urgently seek your support in saving a still invaluable national resource: the United States Postal Service. The Postal Service Reform Act of 2017, HR 756, recently ordered reported by the Oversight and Government Reform Committee would do just that, and create a savings of $6.3 billion in the process, according to the Congressional Budget Office. We urge you to approve or otherwise move this bill forward as swiftly as you can. The Postal Service is the hub of a diverse mailing industry critical to the economy and the growing e- commerce sector so important to our economic recovery. The combined industry and its suppliers in paper, printing and technology, comprising hundreds of large companies and thousands of small businesses, employs 7.5 million Americans and generates $1.4 trillion in sales revenue.1 That is 4.6% of total U.S. output. Yet, the Postal Service teeters on the financial brink, threatening many of those jobs and the industry’s economic output. HR 756 would put the Postal Service on a firm path to financial stabilization and is a bipartisan- sponsored bill that enjoys broad bipartisan support. It was approved by OGR by voice on March 16. It has also managed the virtually unprecedented feat of uniting all of the Postal Service’s stakeholders – the mailing community, the postal unions, and the Service itself – in support.
