when i put together a proposal that is a compromise from the original baldwin-mccaskill amendment, we asked the postal service for a review of the ten-year outlook. we received one on -- what is the date? we received one earlier this week. we have also -- we received one on the 4th at 11:00 a.m. we have one that has been distributed today. it refers to my amendment. there is a $4 billion difference between what the postal service sent to my office in response to my request for scoring on the compromise amendment. we just discovered that, that is very distressing to me in terms of getting our numbers straight. let's get back to the merits. mr. chairman and mr. ranking member, if you want further documentary record to underscore these concerns, i would be happy to do that. i do not want to take the committee's time, i do have a modification i would like to offer. in the spirit of getting to a greater compromise. why offered the amendment last week, i talked about two issues -- the rates and the governance. the rates are important to my state because we have a list 200,000 jobs in my sta

wasuld like to modify what the baldwin-mccaskill amendment. i believe that modification has been distributed in writing. what it would do on rate is it increaseow the price to remain in effect for one full year. after that time, the remaining exigency amount would be recouped by moving to a cpi plus one. the cpi plus one would remain in effect until a new rate system is implemented. it would also maintain the scheduled rewrite of the rate process in 2017. that could lead to future rate increases. only they would be part of what would be a transparent process that involves the postal service customers in the discussion. the prc projects that my amendment would bring in 3 billion more in total revenue to the postal service versus some of -- if i might say, the carper audible. is a realis actually true compromise because of that and because of what you are trying to do to enable the post office to remain, to become profitable. lawovernance, under current which my amendment would maintain, the postal regulatory commission would establish a new rat

i would like to just reflect on what we covered in terms of the baldwin mccaskill amendment votebythebefore i offer to mody that amendment and talk a little bit about the content of that modification we had a robust debate after the last markup on the baldwin mccaskill amendment which struck section 301 of the bill relating to the rate into the governance over the rate setting process and as i recall when we set the issue aside, there were some pretty good exchanges where something that is now referred to as the carper audible and i think maybe i just prefer things in writing and so we made an agreement that we would set it aside to put something together in writing and have a back and forth and maybe come to a consensus. so as that p6 as the committee suspended its consideration of the bill i want to say that i immediately put together compromised language based on some of the input that i heard during the debate and dissent actually that night to the majority and minority staff on this committee, again, trying to incorporate if not the exact sentiment of the spirit of the debate tha
