[applause] i also want to thank the post office. meeting was originally scheduled for december 18th. that was a very bad time. i appreciate you're rescheduling the meeting to a more convenient and appropriate time. now, let me begin by picking up on a point that the governor and senator leahy have already made. we are in the midst of the worst recession since the great depression. 25 million americans are either unemployed or underemployed. on the floor of the senate and the house, senator leahy, congressman, welch and i, and many others are doing everything we can to try, i got to tell you, again get very strong opposition, to try to create the millions of jobs our economy needs. we are also trying to make sure that our veterans get the jobs that they are entitled to. in the midst of all of that, it ispat tently insane to be talking about throwing 100,000 americans out of work. [cheers and applause] the post office is making a case which is certainly true. this is the 21st century. many of us use e-mail. we know that there must be

what you have on this chart is the four drawdowns, the post korean war, the post vietnam war, the post-cold war. and even though we don't actually yet have a name for the current drawdown, we for purposes of this chart call it the post budget control act. i don't think that's actually a name that will catch on and survive over the decades. so we're seeking a new and better name for it. we thought actually about putting post question mark on the chart here. but that does allow you to sort of benchmark the peak and the trough. so what you have on the first column is the peak and those dollars are in fact in millions. so it's really $717 billion is the peak. and the trough, and that's a projected trough for the post budget control act of about $567 million. that includes base budget and overseas contingency operations as laid out in yesterday's announcement by the secretary. so those numbers are updated as of yesterday. that's a reduction of about 21%. that compares, in fact, with reductions of 43%, 31%, and 36% in previous drawdowns. so on a pure percentage basis, this drawdown is not as dram

you'll see that while there's a substantial amount of that in the recent years, that is the post-9/11 big chunks of money being appropriated under emergency appropriations or as the pentagon calls it now, oco, the overseas contingency operations account, but the same was true in korea and vietnam in terms of large numbers and a little bit in the balkans during the '90s. so the process is that we do go up and we come back down again. there's also a black line on this chart and the black line allows you to see that the up and down is not just dollars. it's also the active duty in strength, and there tends to be a correlation between when the budget is going up, the end strength goes up when the budget's going down the end strength is going down. 'not purely cause and effect. one of the challenges and one of the ways in which it's different this time, even though there are some in strength reductions projected in the budget they're not commensurate necessarily with the long-term dollar reductions that we anticipate. let me have the next chart. this actually allows you to see that in a nu

the post office has to change. in my view, and i think the view of many others, the post office must become much more aggressive, much more entrepreneurial, must be going out to the business community, must be going out to consumers and say we have these services we can offer. i'll give you a few examples. some of them, by the way, are included in the legislation brought forth by senators lieberman and carper and collins and scott brown. for example, in a rural state, if people would like to get, walk into a post office and get a letter notarized, they can't do it today. if people walk in to a post office and want to get ten copies of their letter, can't do it today. the united states congress has said you can't do that. if somebody walks into a rural post office, wants to get a fishing license or a hunting license or fill out a drivers license, can't do that right now. so i think what we need is a new business model for the post office, much more entrepreneurial. i would say -- and what's happening around the world

and six they had the republicans had not put in a poison pill piece of legislation that said that the post office over a ten year period has to be has to come up with five billion dollars a year to pay for the retirement health benefits of people seventy five years from now it was pure poison pill they would be profitable right now and they were profitable before i say i say keep the u.s. post office but privatized them i think we can privatized many things on the federal in the state in the local levels in the taxpayer will be paying little i thought he had lot of constitution don't you know that the constitution sets up a bit you know says congress can establish post office and in fact the only rationale that the federal government the dwight eisenhower the republican president had for building a national highway system was that the constitution says that we should have roads to facilitate the postal service. and we're finding many roads now that are being privatized wice so why should we want the private sector participate because i want to pay to use the road and it's not only governme

there are about 660,000 workers in the post office. 's not a debate about whether we need to get to the number. how do we get there, induce retirements or trim the workforce or wait for people to retire from an organization that has three full time employees that are 98 years old literally, not a talking point. we have a problem at the post office it can't seem to shrink on its own fast enough. the biggest problem is we're paying people who we don't really need and not doing the reorganizations we should. >> joining us right now his reaction to chairman issa's comments is patrick donahoe, postmaster general of the united states. thanks for being with us today. >> good morning action becky. >> we know there is a problem in terms of how business is done these days. we realize that the percent of people who use first class postage has been dropping rapidly, i think since 2002006, about 25% has gob away, we expect another 25% to go away the next five years. the question is how do you deal with that? what's your plan, sir? >> that's the situ
