It is a pleasure to convene our meeting here in Chicago, the hometown of our Ranking Member, Congressman Danny Davis. The last time I had the honor of chairing a postal hearing in Chicago was in October 1996, when the subject was the dreadful mail service experienced in this city. Nearly seven and a half years later, while we are here to discuss the very future of the Postal Service itself, it is important to first note that mail service has dramatically improved in that time. The main reason for those strides in mail service are the hundreds of thousands of men and women represented by the witnesses here today.
