postmaster general patrick donahoe made that argument at a hearing wednesday on capitol hill. donahoe wants congress to lift the law requiring the postal service to "pre-fund" 75 years of benefits for retirees. the agency racked up $1.1 billion in the past year, partly because of employee benefits. donohoe wants to use a new business model that could save up to $7 billion by 2016. but senator jon tester of montana is not too happy about the postal push to end saturday delivery to cut costs. "...because it has an impact on rural montana. you may not feel it in pittsburgh, in miama, or chicago , or houston or la or any of the big cities, but we don't get mail for 5 or 6 days!" it's possile if congress doesn't act soon, the postal service may need a $45-billion taxpayer bailout by 2017. dutch bank "ing" is cutting jobs. the cuts will come from its retail sector due to the increase in mobile banking. 2400 people will lose their jobs. altogether, this year the bank has cut about 9% of its workforce, or 7500 people. internet banking has also taken off. last year, transactions online

at a senate hearing, patrick donahoe asked lawmakers not to block his plan.he postal service says it will save $2 billion, but postal unions and some members of congress are skeptical. 4,000 passengers are hoping to be delivered soon from a cruise ship that got stranded at sea. the carnival "triumph" is expected to be towed to mobile alabama, tomorrow. it lost power on sunday, and there have been complaints of limited food and overflowing toilets. apparently, the cabins are so warm, the passengers have crowded on to the deck. there was a skier in the swiss alps today who was crowded by snow-- an avalanche. have a look at this. this is savar lilyquist staying just ahead of a wall of snow. he got a somersault worked in there, as well. he landed on his skis, completed the run with the avalanche coming right behind him. man versus nature, and, on this day, man was just a little bit faster. the faithful packed into st. peter's to say farewell to a pope. that's next. n't you have any apps on your phone do you think i am, quicken loans? at quicken loans, we'll provi

talking about my next guest, postmaster general patrick donahoe. you have been a busy man today, law talk about this decision. no more saturday delivery of mail but there will be delivery of packages, right? >> correct. what has gone orville redenbacheover the last fewyearn first class mail, billions of dollars in revenue, and at same time, a nice increase in package business, we know the american public wants the package delivered on saturday, but they also do not want to take on tax burdens to bail us out. in terms of delivering mail more than 5 days a week, we take no tax money now, and we don't want to take it. charles: by the same token, this will save perhaps $2 billion a year, but post offers lost $ 1 billion last year this is something akin to the pro verbal drop in the bucket. at some point unions they have to come to the table and make some sacrifices? >> the unions have played sacrifices, -- have made sacrifices, to give you an idea in last 4 years we reduced a head count by 193,000 people with the same work lloyd, key thing to remember

postmaster general patrick donahoe announced the post office will end saturday mail delivery service starting elite august. the postal service expects a change to save about $2 billion per year. package delivery service would continue six days a week. this news conference from the postal service headquarters in washington is 35 minutes. >> good morning everybody. thank you for joining us. today, we're going to be making an announcement about an important change to our national delivery schedule. i think anyone who has followed the postal service over the past couple of years know that we have been consistently making changes to our delivery schedule. it is an important part of our strategy returning back to financial stability and it is absolutely necessary to make that move. before i get into the details of the announcement, i would like to spend a couple of minutes discussing the financial reasons for this scheduled delivery change. since 2008, we have seen a steady decline in the use of first class mail. it is our most profitable product and generates the most revenue. people pay

joining me now is the man himself, patrick donahoe, postmaster general with the united states. great to have you back on the show. >> hi, melissa. melissa: we appreciate your time. i want to get your reaction right away what you just heard there? >> we agree with what the gao said. we work very closely with them. it is a business model issue. they're exactly right. we've lost a substantial amount of first class mail. even though the package business is growing very well it is not enough to make the difference up. we had to do a lot of cost reductions. one is to eliminate saturday as a day of mail delivery. but we'll still deliver package. >> when i see you do interviews, you see you on the air you strike me someone with a plan and desperate to make changes and feels like you're held back from doing what you think you need to do in order to make this business viable. we asked you for specific things you want to get done and there are really big changes here. one you want to require the postal service to sponsor its own health care plan. what does that mean exactly? and how much

postal service, patrick donahoe.e is no choice in the matter, at this point in time, it is necessary to eliminate saturday delivery. and also examine ways to raise revenue and close the gap, so to speak. >> you're absolutely right about that. we knew the postal service had been cash strapped. but hearing those details that they were actually down to a matter of days last fall, as far as cash on hand, that is new in terms of the depth of their cash shortage. it is widely believed that the postal service could again run out of cash, or be cash short as early as the end of next month. they're up against their borrowing limit authority as far as with the treasury. we didn't hear yet the postmaster general make the headline we're all expecting, that the most immediate thing they feel they can do is to cut out saturday deliveries starting in august. that would save them in the neighborhood of $2 billion a year. and specifically, what is the likely reaction to be as far as pushback from congress. there was a bill introduced

postal service announcing plans to end saturday mail service, and joining us now, patrick donahoe, thanks, sir. there's huge outcry instantly, and there is any time you talk about cutting anything. congress is appalled and want saturday delivery. the post office unions saying this is a terrible decision. my first question, sir, is do you have the authority to do this on your own, or do you need congressional approval? >> well, we think that we have the authority to do it on our own right now. if there is a disagreement about that, we got a few more weeks before any kind of continuing resolution, legislatively, we'd be done, work it out. the postal service needs to move to a five-day delivery schedule and a six-day package schedule. we lost way too much money. it's the correct business decision. it's responsible. it's common sense. dennis: less than half of business mailers say they want saturday service at all. why continue to deliver packages on saturday? why not make a deeper cut? are you failing to make deep enough cuts here? >> no, no, wii not failing. the package business of postal
