Mr. President. today I am introducing a bill that will allow holders of postal savings notes to redeem them with the U.S. Treasury Department. In 1911. the postal savings system was established to allow people to purchase savings notes at the post office. because many immigrants were accustomed to saving at the post office. In 1966. Congress terminated the system and transferred the unpaid deposits to the Treasury Department. In 1984. Congress passed legislation designed to sunset the postal savings system. giving any individual holding postal savings notes 1 year to redeem them. Since that time. however. the Treasury Department has received over 2.000 written inquiries and innumerable telephone inquiries from people wanting to cash in their notes.
