,mr4 ,cummings1 ,mr4 ,connolly1 and     
,mrs4 ,davis of ,california7 submitted  
the following resolution2 which was     
referred to the ,committee on ,oversight
 and ,reform  ,,resolution  ,expressing 
the sense of the ,house of              
,representatives that ,congress should  
take all appropriate measures to ensure 
that the ,united ,states ,postal        
,service remains an independent         
establishment of the ,federal           
,government and is not subject to       
privatization4  ,whereas the ,united    
,states ,postal ,service is a           
constitutionally mandated service per   
article ,i1 section #h1 clause #g of the
 ,constitution2 ,whereas the ,united    

,states ,postal ,service is a           
self-sustaining1 independent            
establishment that does not receive     
taxpayer funding and relies solely on   
revenue derived from the sale of postal 
services and products2 ,whereas the     
,united ,states ,postal ,service and its
 more than #ejj1jjj employees are at the
 center of the #a4d trillion mailing    
industry1 employing a total of #g4e     
million ,americans2 ,whereas the ,united
 ,states ,postal ,service serves the    
needs of #aeg million business and      
residential customers at least six days 
a week1 maintains an affordable and     
universal network1 and connects the     
country's rural1 suburban1 and urban    
communities2 ,whereas the ,united       
,states ,postal ,service is consistently
 the highest rated agency of the        
,federal ,government in nonpartisan     
opinion polls2 ,whereas the ,united     
,states ,postal ,service is the         
,nation's second-largest employer of    
military veterans2 ,whereas postal      

employees are dedicated public servants 
who do more than process and deliver the
 ,nation's mail1 they serve as the eyes 
and ears of the ,nation's communities   
and often respond first in situations   
involving health1 safety1 and crime in  
their communities2 ,whereas             
privatization of the ,united ,states    
,postal ,service would result in higher 
prices and reduced services for its     
customers1 especially in rural          
communities2 and ,whereas privatization 
of the ,united ,states ,postal ,service 
would jeopardize the booming e-commerce 
sector and cripple a major part of the  
,nation's critical infrastructure3 ,now1
 therefore1 be it ,that it is the sense 
of the ,house of ,representatives that  
,congress should take all appropriate   
measures to ensure that the ,united     
,states ,postal ,service remains an     
independent establishment of the        
,federal ,government and not subject to 
privatization4
