Bill > SRes147

This resolution expresses the Senate's strong support for maintaining the United States Postal Service (USPS) as an independent federal government establishment, emphasizing several key points about the organization's importance. The resolution highlights that the USPS is constitutionally mandated, self-sustaining, and does not rely on taxpayer funding, while playing a critical role in the $1.9 trillion mailing industry that employs nearly 8 million Americans. It notes the USPS's extensive daily service to over 168 million addresses, its status as a highly-rated federal agency, and its significant role in employing veterans and supporting rural, suburban, and urban communities. The resolution warns that privatization would likely result in higher prices, reduced services, and potential damage to the e-commerce sector. Ultimately, the Senate resolves that Congress should take all necessary steps to prevent privatization and preserve the USPS as an independent government entity, recognizing the postal service's broader social and economic significance beyond simply delivering mail.
