                   IN THE SENATE OF THE UNITED STATES

                            October 21, 1997

  Mr. DeWine submitted the following concurrent resolution; which was 
           referred to the Committee on Governmental Affairs

                         CONCURRENT RESOLUTION


 
Expressing the sense of Congress that the United States Postal Service 
         should maintain the postal uniform allowance program.

Whereas the United States Postal Service has successfully supplied uniforms to 
        its employees for 42 years under the postal uniform allowance program;
Whereas the postal uniform allowance program currently provides business to more 
        than 1,000 American companies throughout the United States which, in 
        turn, employ more than 10,000 American workers;
Whereas the United States Postal Service has proposed a new, centralized uniform 
        procurement system that would result in substantial loss of business to 
        those American companies and turn over control of the procurement system 
        to a single vendor; and
Whereas the United States Postal Service has, in recent years, become more 
        profitable while continuing to use the postal uniform allowance program: 
        Now therefore, be it
    Resolved by the Senate (the House of Representatives concurring), 
That it is the sense of Congress that the United States Postal Service 
should maintain its current postal uniform allowance program and make 
necessary changes to improve that program, rather than implement a 
centralized, single-vendor program.
