    ------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The United States Postal Service provides mail processing and delivery
    services to individuals and businesses within the United States. The
    Service is committed to serving customers through the development of
    efficient mail-handling systems and operates its own planning and
    engineering programs. It is also the responsibility of the Postal
    Service to protect the mails from loss or theft and to apprehend those
    who violate postal laws.

    The Postal Service was created as an independent establishment of the
    executive branch by the Postal Reorganization Act (39 U.S.C. 101 et
    seq.), approved August 12, 1970. The United States Postal Service
    commenced operations on July 1, 1971.
        The Postal Service has approximately 761,000 employees and handles
    about 183 billion pieces of mail annually. The chief executive officer
    of the Postal Service, the Postmaster General, is appointed by the nine
    Governors of the Postal Service, who are appointed by the President with
    the advice and consent of the Senate for overlapping 9-year terms. The
    Governors and the Postmaster General appoint the Deputy Postmaster
    General, and these 11 people constitute the Board of Governors.
        In addition to the national headquarters, there are area and
    district offices supervising approximately 38,000 post offices,
    branches, stations, and community post offices throughout the United
    States.

    Activities

    In order to expand and improve service to the public, the Postal Service
    is engaged in customer cooperation activities, including the development
    of programs for both the general public and major customers. The
    Consumer Advocate, a postal ombudsman, represents the interest of the
    individual mail customer in matters involving the Postal Service by
    bringing complaints and suggestions to the attention of top postal
    management and solving the problems of individual customers. To provide
    postal services responsive to public needs, the Postal Service operates
    its own planning, research, engineering, real estate, and procurement
    programs specially adapted to postal requirements, and maintains close
    ties with international postal organizations.
        The Postal Service is the only Federal agency whose employment
    policies are governed by a process of collective bargaining under the
    National Labor Relations Act. Labor contract negotiations, affecting all
    bargaining unit personnel, as well as personnel matters involving
    employees not covered by collective bargaining agreements, are
    administered by Labor Relations or Human Resources.
        The United States Postal Inspection Service is the Federal law
    enforcement agency which has jurisdiction in criminal matters affecting
    the integrity and security of the mail. Postal Inspectors enforce more
    than 100 Federal statutes involving mail fraud, mail bombs, child
    pornography, illegal drugs, mail theft, and other postal crimes, as well
    as being responsible for the protection of all postal employees.
    Inspectors also audit postal contracts and financial accounts.
