Does the Senator think there is any guarantee. if a 5percent reduction is ordered. that the Post Office Department will not inconvenience the public and then place the blame on Congress. as was done 2 years ago? I am inclined to think that the place to make the reduction is In the committee. and to make it at a place in which the committee finds the cut can be made. We had that unhappy experience not only with the Post Office Department. but we had a similar experience with the customs department when border control and port control were eliminated. so that smugglers could operate unhindered across the Canadian and Mexican borders. I agree with the purpose of the Senator. I believe that a 5 percent reduction should be made. but I think the committee must tell where it must be made. or we shall run into the same difficulties which we encountered previously.
