"In the bill that the Post Office Committee has now reported and will be going to the floor, we say they cannot cut out Saturday service, period. We know that the Postal Service is doing a survey, and their survey is going to be brought to us on Saturday service, so our committee decided that we would try to do an equal survey to see if our survey came up with the same things that they came up with. We selected two areas in Denver to do a mailing to, and at this point we have gotten about a 15 percent return from that area, which is very high, and I assume we will be getting many more. I have stacked them up here because I think it is a very interesting result. The Postal Service was telling us most people that they encountered didn't care that much about Saturday delivery. We have now about a 2 to 1 ratio coming through, and you see the "yeses" for Saturday service and the anti-Saturday service"--Page 1.

The USPS's financial outlook has deteriorated as customers have shifted to electronic alternatives. Mail volumes have declined over 20% since FY 2006 and are expected to continue declining. To help its financial outlook, in March 2010, USPS presented a detailed proposal to move from a 6-day to a 5-day delivery schedule. USPS projected this would save about $3 billion annually and reduce mail volume by less than l%. This proposal factors in widespread changes to USPS's workforce and networks. This report assessed: (1) USPS's cost and volume estimates and the operational impacts associated with its 5-day delivery proposal; and (2) the trade-offs and other implications associated with this proposal.
