Postal Service Reform Act of 2021

Floor Speech

BREAK IN TRANSCRIPT

Ms. KAPTUR. Madam Speaker, I rise today in strong support of this bipartisan United States Postal Service and Postal Service Reform bill.

By eliminating the unnecessary and harmful mandate to prefund retiree benefits, and preserving 6-day delivery, we are investing in our hardworking postal workers and safeguarding this vital American service.

For more than 200 years, the United States Postal Service has delivered to households and businesses in every community on every block in every State of our great Nation. What an American enterprise.

Through rain, sleet, and snow, hundreds of thousands of postal workers serve America every single day, making sure we all remain connected.

I was a carrier; I know, too.

The United States Postal Service is foundational to our American way of life. It is incumbent upon Congress to support this cherished and essential institution for all the generations to come.

I urge all of my colleagues to vote for the Postal Service Reform bill and vote for the United States Postal Service.

I thank all those who labored for so many years to bring this to the floor. Congratulations to you and to America.
