Noted and Noteworthy Fall 2004 Congratulations Buz Prosser, president and CEO of Consolidated Mailing was recently appointed to the Mail and Fulfillment Service Association's (MFSA) board of directors. Prosser also sits on the MFSA education committee. Postal rates to hold steady Postmaster general John E. Potter reiterated recently that postal rates will remain steady through 2006. Potter said the postal service will continue to focus on the strategies outlined in their Transformation Plan. The postal service is currently ahead of schedule in implementing changes identified in the plan. Standard Mail Up in 2005 For the first time in history, standard mail will exceed first class mail volumes. While total mail volume is expected to grow by about 1.4 billon pieces, forecasts indicate first class mail to decline by 2.1 billion pieces. Standard mail is expected to grow by nearly 3.8 billion pieces. Clock Ticks on Postal Reform Some mailers are still optimistic about postal reform legislation passing this session. That's because Congress has delayed its October 8 adjournment and could be in session as late as Christmas. The Senate and House committees that oversee the USPS are determined to pass reform. However, it is rumored that President Bush opposes the bill because it does not provide enough reform to justify budget costs. |
