,mr4 ,graves of ,missouri 7for himself  
and ,mr4 ,connolly7 submitted the       
following resolution2 which was referred
 to the ,committee on ,oversight and    
,government ,reform  ,,resolution       
,expressing the sense of the ,house of  
,representatives that the ,united       
,states ,postal ,service should take all
 appropriate measures to ensure the     
continuation of its #f-;day mail        
delivery service4  ,whereas the ,united 
,states ,postal ,service has announced  
that it may need to reduce the frequency
 of its mail delivery service from #f   
days a week to #e days a week2 ,whereas 
#f-;day mail delivery service is an     
essential service that the ,american    
people have relied on since #aiab1      
particularly working families that      
depend on the ,postal ,service for the  
timely delivery of their paychecks2     
,whereas ,social ,security is the       

primary or sole source of income for    
many senior citizens1 and any delay in  
the delivery of their ,social ,security 
checks would make it difficult for them 
to purchase even essential items1 such  
as food and medicine2 and ,whereas      
reducing mail delivery service to #e    
days a week would inevitably cause not  
only delays in the delivery of mail1 but
 higher postal costs1 due to the many   
hours of additional overtime that the   
,postal ,service would require in order 
to handle the resulting back-up of mail3
 ,now1 therefore1 be it  ,that it is the
 sense of the ,house of ,representatives
 that the ,united ,states ,postal       
,service should take all appropriate    
measures to ensure the continuation of  
its #f-;day mail delivery service4
