 <title>U.S. Postal Service: Bold Action Needed to Continue Progress on Postal Transformation</title>
</titleInfo>
<abstract>Last year the President established a commission to examine the
future of the U.S. Postal Service (the Service). Its report,	 
issued in July 2003, contained a proposed vision for the Service 
and recommendations to ensure the viability of postal services.  
GAO was asked to discuss (1) its perspective on the commission&apos;s 
report and (2) suggestions for next steps. This testimony is	 
based on GAO&apos;s analysis of the Commission&apos;s report and prior GAO 
reports and testimonies.</abstract>
