WASHINGTON, DC—Just when it seemed all the negotiating, back room compromises and incessant lobbying for postal reform over the last 12-plus years was about to suffer a silent death, Congress stepped up to the plate and delivered a hit for the U.S. Postal Service and the mailing community.
In the waning hours of the lame duck session, Congress passed H.R. 6407, much to the surprise and delight of those who profit through mailed communications, including commercial printers. The legislation, a dozen years in the making, goes a long way toward overhauling an institution that had been operating with business procedures established in 1970, long before alternative means of communication, particularly the Internet, became a viable threat.
