                               RESOLUTION


 
 Expressing the sense of the Senate that United States Postal Service 
    employees should be commended for their outstanding service and 
     dedication since the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001.

Whereas on September 11, 2001, the Nation was victimized by a horrific terrorist 
        attack, the likes of which have not been seen in United States history;
Whereas terrorist attacks continued on United States soil after September 11, 
        2001, in the form of anthrax-tainted letters;
Whereas these anthrax-tainted letters have led to the deaths of 4 individuals, 
        including 2 United States Postal Service employees;
Whereas numerous United States Postal Service employees are currently taking 
        antibiotics to protect them from potential anthrax exposure; and
Whereas the United States Postal Service continues to deliver mail, on the order 
        of approximately 680,000,000 pieces per day, to ensure that the daily 
        operation of our citizens and our companies may continue unaffected, 
        despite these dangers: Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved, That the Senate--
            (1) commends the men and women of the United States Postal 
        Service for their outstanding service, hard work, and 
        dedication during this time of national emergency; and
            (2) will continue to work with the United States Postal 
        Service to ensure the safety and well-being of postal workers 
        as they carry out their duties and responsibilities.
                                 <all>
