USPS Looks for Long-Term Viability

• A modest exigent price increase will be proposed, effective in 2011.

• Permit the Postal Service to evaluate and introduce more new products consistent with its mission.

"These laws need to be modernized to reflect today's economic and business challenges, and the dramatic impact the Internet has had on American life."
