We and other organizations and companies who comprise the Coalition for a 21st Century Postal Service have been asked to support this signifcant and helpful bill. Getting this passed with a clear bipartisan majority in the House will grease the skids in the Senate. Constituent influence is the key to getting this done. We hope to obtain as many signatures from companies and trade associations as possible, demonstrating broad support. The ACMA is signing onto the letter and we urge you to review it, then send a quick reply directly to this email whether you’d like your company’s name added or not. Sorry for the short notice, but please get back to us no later than 10:00 am Eastern Time Tuesday, February 1st. This bill is the product of years of work by ACMA and others. As with much Congress does, it is not perfect, but it is clearly helpful and while we will continue to work for improvements, we cannot let perfect be the enemy of good. This is good as written and we must move quickly as things will soon devolve into election year politics and nothing may be possible. ACMA member or not, if you mail, you should support this bill. Please reach out with any questions, and thank you for taking action!

The U.S. Postal Service reported revenue of $16.7 billion for the third quarter of fiscal year 2017 (April 1, 2017 - June 30, 2017). Revenue for the quarter was essentially unchanged compared to the same quarter last year, excluding the effect of a $1.1 billion non-cash change in accounting estimate recognized during the third quarter of fiscal year 2016. Revenue from First-Class Mail and Marketing Mail decreased $422 million and $150 million, respectively, over the prior year quarter, due largely to lower volumes. These declines in revenue for these products were nearly offset by continued growth in the lower-margin Shipping and Packages business, with third quarter revenue increasing $473 million, or 11.3 percent, in that part of the Postal Service's business. Operating expenses for the quarter were $18.8 billion, a decrease of $461 million, or 2.4%, compared to the prior year quarter. Expenses for retiree health benefits and workers compensation declined by $869 million and $1.0 billion, respectively, but were partially offset by $1.2 billion in higher retirement expenses largely driven by changes in Office of Personnel Management actuarial assumptions and interest rates.
