Mailers Urged to Influence Regulatory Commission to Approve, Finalize 'Summer Sale' Rates

O'Keefe added the following about the program, which the USPS formally entered in the Federal Register on May 15:

"In order to ensure that the PRC approves the USPS request for a 'Summer Sale' in a timely manner, we are asking that you fax a signed copy of one of the letters [shown below] prior to close of business on May 21 to the Postal Regulatory Commissioners and the Secretary of the Commission. Those of you who joined me in Washington D.C., heard clearly that communication officially entered into the public record is relied on heavily by the PRC when they are weighing a decision.
