Speaker, as our nation reels from covid19 and over 150,000 deaths, millions of americans depend on the u. S. Postal service for access to medicine, stimulus payments, Small Business support, and trustworthy doortodoor service upon which americans rely. Yet recently appointed postmaster general and major trump donor, has instituted a deeply misguided policy that puts american lives at risk. In a disturbing internal memo it reads, late trips are no longer authorized or accepted. We may see mail left behind or mail on the work room floor or docks. The United StatesPostal Service has served our nation ably for over two centuries delivering at the most costeffective rate. Letter carriers walkthrough rain, sleet, snow, dark of night to ensure the mails get delivered. That is why Congress Already provided 10 billion in financing to the Postal Service during this pandemic and tragically the Trump Administration continues to hold it up causing backups in mail across our nation. I demand the Trump Administration release the Funds Congress provided to our Postal Service. We must act now to ensure our people have access to medications they need, protect our Small Businesses, and Democratic Institutions and end these senseless delays. I yield back.
