Postcom has Mailers Council Bob McLean's response to today's USPS media briefing- some quotes: "For those who missed it, today's Postal Service media event with Dick Strasser and Tom Day was a collection of confusing, circular comments and more than a few misstatements." "Day, responding to a question about whether postal officials were violating the laws prohibiting them from lobbying, stressed that he wasn't even close to such a violation, but instead was fulfilling an obligation to educate the Senate and correct misimpressions on the Hill." McLean also quotes a press release from Senators Susan Collins and Thomas Carper, sponsors of S.662: "Senators Susan Collins (R-ME) and Thomas Carper (D-DE), are disputing false, misleading, and inaccurate claims made today by the USPostal Service regarding S. 662... With their latest release, the Postal Service appears to have sunk to a new low."
