Present: Senators Stevens, Cochran, Thompson, and Akaka. Opening Statement Of Chairman Stevens Chairman Stevens. Good morning. I do welcome the Postmaster General Marvin Runyon, and his staff to this hearing to receive the annual report of the Postmaster General. We have delayed hoping that other members might get out of the meetings that are going on, but I believe we should start on time, General. This annual hearing offers the Postmaster General the opportunity to tell the Senate the state of the Postal Service. Given our congressional responsibility to oversee the function of the Postal Service, this hearing also provides members of the Senate an opportunity to question the Postmaster General about specific issues and problems of concern to us. Finally, the Postmaster General may use this opportunity to outline any problems that may need legislative solutions and to preview plans that the Postmaster General has in mind for the future. Existing law requires the Congress to continue discussions on the future of the Postal Service. The Postal Service has ended their last two fiscal years with a profit and there is hope that it will be able to maintain current rates for at least two more years. We need to discuss whether the Postal Service should, 1), institute additional measures to improve efficiency, 2), be freed from current statutory restrictions to become more competitive, or 3), be partially or completely privatized. There appears to be little consensus on the direction that the Postal Service should take into the next century. I do believe we agree, however, that a healthy postal system continues to be vital to our Nation. Coming from Alaska, a predominantly rural State, this is particularly true to many of my constituents in the Bush communities. As you know, I have been involved in issues concerning the Postal Service since I came to the Senate in 1968.
