Did not read above before running mouth did you:

Not Congress;

"Due to public resistance, it dropped a previous proposal to cut
costs by eliminating Saturday mail delivery."

It was dropped because public resistance (especially in rural

that both the Postal Rate Commission and Congress were set against.
Besides, they couldn't legally change the service parameters without
Congressional approval.


USPS dropped the request.
