          SOLICIT INPUT OF EMPLOYEES TO IMPROVE POSTAL SERVICE

  (Mrs. SCHROEDER asked and was given permission to address the House 
for 1 minute and to revise and extend her remarks.)
  Mrs. SCHROEDER. Mr. Speaker, a week ago this Monday, I delivered mail 
with a mail carrier in Denver, CO, and I also spent that weekend out 
watching how they sorted the mail in one of the big centers. Today we 
are going to be asking for every postal employee to try and help us 
figure out what we can do to make the mail service work.
  The first thing every government must do is find a way that we can 
contact each person that lives in that country. If they do not have a 
good mail service, they have got real trouble, and we have had all 
sorts of problems of late. The unfortunate thing is so often we have 
asked people what to do about the mail service that had never been in 
any of the Postal Service before.
  So I think the time has come to really tackle this. We are calling on 
every Member of Congress to get involved at the very local, grassroots 
area, and do something really unique: Ask the people who know something 
about it, ask the people who have been delivering the mail and let us 
see if we cannot get this solved once and for all.
