Presentation

The law of the jungle: the impact of recent postal legislation

The panel will consider elements of the new legislation in light of their impact and whether the elements will likely create any new problems. The second half of the session will examine issues remaining which require resolution, but were not addressed in the new law, such as unfunded Congressional mandates that require extra charges passed on to customers. Finally the session will look at the need for additional changes in the relationship between the US Treasury and the Postal Service.
