                   PRIVATIZATION SHOULD BE ENCOURAGED

  (Mr. CHRISTENSEN asked and was given permission to address the House 
for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. CHRISTENSEN. Madam Speaker, I encourage all of my fellow 
Nebraskans to call and write often. I listen to what they have to say, 
and I am often persuaded by what they write.
  Last week I received this postcard, which perhaps is the most 
persuasive that I have ever received. In this bag, Madam Speaker, is a 
note from a constituent regarding the privatization of the post office. 
This note was saying why we should not privatize the post office. But 
you see, this note came in what the post office calls as body bag. It 
comes with discarded mail, and they put it in here and say ``We care.''
  Well, it is quite ironic that this kind of mail would come in this 
form and fashion, and the message in it would be not to privatize the 
post office.
  Madam Speaker, in light of this, I want to encourage the continued 
privatization ideas that are coming forth in the 104th Congress. I want 
to continue to expand and look beyond at how we can make this a more 
efficient, a more better run Government.
