We look forward to your recondendations. 0 spectfu11y submitted, Charles Benton Chai , White HouseCOnference on Library and Information Services Chairman, National COmmission On'Libraries and Information Science /IS lJ Introduction r The resolutions passed by thedelegates tothe first White. House Conference dealing with library andinformation services are the core of this report. They are the basisfor the proposed National Library and Information Services Program and newnational legislation contained in the report. These resolutions represent atrue grass, roots expression ofthe Nation's library and information . services' future need's, They.are the result ofthe involvement of more than 100,000 people across the Nation participatingfor two and one-half years before the Cdnference in research,planning, and discussions on what people...really need, now andin the future, from library and information services.P. - Several underlying themes are evide t in theresolutions. These themes reflect larger societal trends and indicatesignificant future, directions in our society. First, the delegatesclearly saw a need to reshape library and information services in Order tomake these services more responsive to the people served.Second, there was a strong call for local control. This seems tobe an expressiOn of new community interest that is developingthroughout the country in -many areas of activity. The current movetoward Federal deregulation of many industries is an additionaldemons/ration of the trend.toward less Federal and more local control. Third,there was a denIand for economy and accountabilityin public agencies. The delegges felt that it was very important for agenciesNoprovide services in amOre efficient and cost-effective Manner.' Thelmplitatios of this report are,significant;especially in . light of current economic realities. Requestsfor funding are not in favor today, whatever the service or product,Thus, it is important that we specify the uses and benefits oflibrary and information., services. These services can, in fact,help us both as individuals and as a society to deal effectivelywith the broad economic difficulties we face as a Nation. A verymodest investment in.such services can yield wide-ranging economic benefits. For example, the'individual American pays anaverage of $5.15 per year to support his or herpublic library. That is the price of approximately four gallons ofgasoline, seVeralioaves of bread, one gallon of cheap'Paint, ordinner for two at McDonald's. It does not buy even,one hardbackbook, the average cost of which is now more than $20. All of uskriew what $5.15 can and cannot buy. ) What does that $5.15 buy at the library? Among other things, the library user can getinformation on O how to cope with spiralling inflation, how to get.ajob, how to fix up a home or repair anautomobile. One can find help in dealingwith income taxes, and maybe save afew dollars thereprobably more -than $5.15. Most important, a citizen can getinformation about government: congressional hearings, Statelegislation, voting records of candidates for.public office. Suchinformation enables all citizens to participate effectively inthe democratic process., A second example of the economicbenefits that library and information services can provide has to dowith tratisporta- 2 tion/communicatiOns trade-offs, The increase infuelcost's has vii Introduction M1 affected not only the. decision and actions of individuals, but also those of government.

In 1895, Mary Fields became the first African American woman—and only the second woman in the United States—to obtain a United States Post Office Department contract to be a Star Route Carrier. The quickest applicant to hitch a team of six horses, Fields was already in her early sixties when she won the contract. For eight years, she rode the 17-mile route between Cascade, Montana, and St. Peter’s Mission, braving harsh weather, wolves, and rough road conditions—while wielding a rifle and revolver to fend off bandits and thieves. Her relentless reliability soon earned her the nickname Stagecoach Mary. She never missed a day of mail delivery. When the snow was too deep for her horses, Fields snowshoed her route. She was beloved in her community: when she died in 1914, her funeral was said to be among the most well attended in Cascade’s history. Fields, extraordinary though she was, represents only one of countless moments 1 that the U.S. Post Office has defied the odds and delivered the mail. The Post Office began at this nation’s founding, led by Benjamin Franklin as the first U.S. Postmaster General during the American Revolution. The Constitution specifically granted Congress the authority to establish Post Office and post roads.

    Executive Compensation at the US Postal Service

    Executive Compensation at the U. S. Postal Service: Issues for the 112th Congress name redacted Analyst in American National Government name redacted Research Associate July 23, 2012 Congressional Research Service 7-.... www.crs.gov R42623 CRS Report for Congress Prepared for Members and Committees of Congress Executive Compensation at the U. S. Postal Service: Issues for the 112th Congress Summary Media reports and some Members of Congress have expressed concerns that the pay of U.S. Postal Service (USPS) executives is too high and should be reduced. USPS and others have argued that current compensation rates are needed to attract talented employees to a Postal Service that delivers mail and packages to homes and businesses throughout the United States without taxpayer assistance. The 112th Congress has taken action on two bills that would limit USPS executive compensation or benefits. S. 1789 would remove certain “fringe benefits” and cap pay at Level I of the Executive Schedule ($199,700 in 2012). H.R. 2309 would prohibit Postal Service executives from receiving bonuses in years when USPS expenses eclipsed revenues and cap pay at Executive Schedule Level I in certain years. This report examines the authorities governing executive compensation at USPS. It examines pay rates for other public-sector employees as well as certain private-sector employees to analyze how the pay of the Postmaster General and other Postal Service executives might compare. At the end of FY2011, USPS employed 645,950 people. Within that total is a cadre of Postal Career Executive Service (PCES) employees. As of May 18, 2012, USPS had 640 PCES employees.

PUB DATE 80 NOTE 25p.; Illustrations will not reproduce clearly. PUB TYPE Historical Materials (060) EDRS PRICE MF01/PC01 Plus Postage. DESCRIPTORS Government Employees; Government Role; *Public Agencies;_ United States History IDENTIFIERS *PoStal Service ABSTRACT This eight-chapter illustrated booklet chronicles the history of the U.S. Post Office from its establishment by the Continental Congress in 1775 to the present. Chapter 1, "The Colonists," describes the postal service before the Revolutionary War. Benjamin Franklin's appointment as the first Postmaster General of the U.S. and his many contributions to the postal serviceare covered in Chapter 2, "Father of the U.S. Postal Service." Chapter 3, "The Revolution and After," portrays the huge increase that occurred in the U.S. population from the time of Andrew Jackson to the Civil War, the resulting huge increase in mail volume that occurred, and the actions the postal system took to overcome the problems. In Chapter 4, "The Pony Express," the 18-month life span of the pony express is chronicled as are the reasons for its demise. Two Postmaster Generals, Montgomery Blair and John Wanamaker, are portrayed in Chapter 5, "Two Postal Titans." These two men provided leadership which resulted in improved employee attitudes and new services to customers, such as free rural delivery and pneumatic tubes. Chapter 6, "Postal Stamps," tells the history of the postage stamp, and how a stamp is developed. Chapter 7, "Moving the Mail," presents a history of the mail service and the different modes of transportation on which it depends.
