CONGRESSMAN WALTER B. JONBS
Many of you have expressed
concern over the reduction in
service by the United States
Post Office Department. I can
assure you that along with
many other Members of
Confess, I too am very con
cerned over the lack of
adequate service.

MIRROR MIRTH
June 28, 1972, I made the
following remarks;
Mr. Speaker: Many of you
will remember the childhood
game of “post office.” But more
recently, the post office is now
playing games with the
American public. It is in
conceivable to consider the
curtailing of services to the
American public that have been
instigated in recent months.
The sectional centers, which
at one time we were told were
the answer to all mail problems,
are being consolidated, causing
the mail to travel hundreds of
miles to ultimately reach a
neighboring community only a
few miles away.
There are many small cities
in my district where it has come
to my attention have uitimately
no mail service from Friday
until Monday. The
disidacement of many long
time employees is causing
anguish and great personai
sacrifice in leaving their homes
in order to continue postal
employment.
Mr. Speaker: I am sure that
other Members of Congress
have been experiencing Ae
same complaints which have
reached my office. Referring to
the U. S. Constitution, one of the
prescribed duties of the
Congress as outlined in article I,
section 8, is “to establish post
offices and post roads.”
To my knowledge this has
never been changed. Therefore,
Mr. Speaker, I raise the
question, is the Congress per
forming its full duties as
direct^ by the Constitution in
sitting idly by and permitting ..:
the disintegration of the hand
ling of the U. S. maU? I think it
is time that we reevaluate
what we have done and through
legislation or otherwise,
provide the people of this Nation
the postai service to which they
have rightly become ac
customed.
