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. One, as i recollect, the rational for this change in Service Standards was developed after i left. I dont know the details of it. I hesitate to answer because without having time to analyze the data. Second, there is a trade off obviously. You cant do all things for all people. You have to make some choices here. Service standards should be an input into the question of plant and logistical rationalization it seems to me. I just dont have i dont have my hands on the information necessary i understand. Everything else equal. I think theres something nice about having as you characterize, a one, two, three kind of standard. You wou
The centers changed the standard of delivery and gone from one, two, three, days to modified one so au so if youre in the same met oe metropolitan area. Thats modified one.

My first thought is if we have declining fi
He did that for a number of years and then he said, i think id like to become a congressman. He became a congressman for oklahoma and did that for a while. Then he said, maybe id like to be a senator. He did that for ten years and hes going to step down about two years early before the end of his term this year. God knows what hell do next. Maybe hes going to land a plane. Well find out before he gets here, but he should be here before too much longer. Ms. Kennedy, same line of thought we have. One of the things dr. Coburn really insisted on, pushed for when we introduced our initial bill a year ago last august, this past august, and he basically said, the Postal Service is not foolish, theyre not stupid, theyre not deaf to the marketplace. Lets give them the flexibility of set rates. If they charge too much, customers will stop using them. If they theyll eventually find a sweet spot. In the end we did not do that. There was a large criticism from the public and so forth. We thought we
