Excerpt from Annual Report of the Postmaster General: Hearing Before the Subcommittee on Post Office and Civil Service of the Committee on Governmental Affairs, United States Senate, One Hundred Fourth Congress, First Session; August 2, 1995 This is the time for the Postmaster General's annual report to Congress. It is a matter that we take very seriously. It was origi nally set for July 26th, but because of problems we had here in the Committee, we asked the Postmaster General to reschedule it. We want to thank you at this time, Mr. Runyon, for agreeing to post pone the date. Aside from reporting on the financial status of the United States Postal Service, the purpose of this hearing is two-fold: First, Con gress has the responsibility to oversee the functions of the United States Postal Service. This hearing gives us the opportunity to dis cuss with the Postmaster General and his staff specific issues and problems, and we do have questions that have been submitted by other Members that we will ask. Secondly, it allows the Postmaster General to outline problem areas which may need legislative solutions and to preview plans that the Postal Service has for the future.
