Summary:

Bi-partisan postal reform legislation has been introduced in the 109th Congress in bothchambers - H.R. 22, and S. 662. H.R. 22 passed the House by a 410-20 vote on July 26.Three amendments were defeated, including one that would have met the Administration'sdemand that the bill be "budget neutral." The Senate Homeland Security and GovernmentalAffairs Committee reported S. 662 on June 22, 2005 with one dissenting vote. Its terms,with some amendments, passed the Senate by unanimous consent on February 9, 2006 asH.R. 22. The bill is now headed for conference to resolve differences, which are notprofound. It will be a more difficult matter to make the bill satisfactory to theAdministration.
