Printing Industries of America Responds To U.S. House of Representatives' Lag on Postal Reform; Warns of Disastrous Consequences of Inaction

"The longer the House postpones a postal reform vote, the greater the chances are that nothing happens at all. Meanwhile, the U.S. Postal Service loses $25 million per day and consumer confidence in the future value of mail grows more uncertain. I support Chairman Issa's drive to finish the job on postal reform and respectfully urge the House GOP leadership to move H.R. 2309 back to the top of this summer's 'must pass' list of legislative priorities," said Makin.

"Additionally, I urge Printing Industries of America member companies and all stakeholders in the mailing economy to urge the House not to let the critical opportunity to achieve postal reform slip away altogether. Postal reform equals jobs, plain and simple. The industry must make its collective voice heard in urging a vote on H.R. 2309 be held as soon as possible."
