To the new communications and transportation capabilities that weve developed. Given the shifting culture and those expectations for speed and ontime delivery, im reluctant. You have to look at the economics of all of this and the trade offs and costs, but i hate to see the Postal Service give up one, two, three. Thank you. Mr. Miller. Mr. Chairman two things.

My first thought is if we have declining fi
