 ,,representatives  ,august #a1 #bjad   
,mrs4 ,davis of ,california 7for        
herself1 ,mr4 ,king of ,new ,york1 and  
,mr4 ,joyce7 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  
door delivery for all business and      
residential customers4  ,whereas the    
,united ,states ,postal ,service has    
announced that it may need to eliminate 
or reduce levels of door-to-door        
delivery service by the conversion of   
millions of homes and businesses to     
centralized delivery or curbside and    
require those who wish to retain their  
door service to pay a delivery tax2     
,whereas reduced levels of service will 
have an immediate impact on current year

 revenue and a long-term impact on the  
viability of a business inevitably      
causing a larger drop in revenue from   
service cuts than from the estimated    
savings of elimination or reducing door 
delivery2 ,whereas door delivery is a   
vital service that the ,american people 
have relied on since the #ahfjs in both 
rural and urban areas and ensures the   
security of mail and packages2 ,whereas 
voluntary conversion of businesses in   
#bjac equated to a mere #j4h percent of 
voluntary conversions confirming that   
businesses depend on in-person contact  
with letter carriers to ensure          
transactional security and initiate new 
business and revenue for the ,postal    
,service2 ,whereas millions of          
,americans will be forced to retrieve   
their daily mail and packages from a    
centralized location removing the daily 
convenience for ,americans in receiving 
checks1 medications and other essential 
items2 and ,whereas eliminating or      
reducing door delivery services will    

serve as a hindrance for the elderly and
 disabled who will be forced to retrieve
 their mail and packages and be required
 to submit to a cumbersome application  
process in order to opt out of the      
requirement3 ,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 door delivery for all   
businesses and residential customers4
