 B-114874

 The Honorable Pierre S. du Pont                 JUL 26 1973
;House of Representatives

Dear Mr. du Pont:

      Pursuant to your February 2, 1973, request we reviewed
 postal operations in Delaware. On May 3, 1973, we briefed
 you on the results and gave you copies of the charts used in
 the briefing. This letter summarizes that briefing, includ-
 ing the following points that you asked us to consider.

      --Would the quality of service be improved significantly
        by the appointment of a District Manager who would be
        exclusively responsible for the quality of mail serv-
        ice in Delaware?

      --What has caused the erratic mail serVice during the
        past year and what are the prospects for the future?

      --Why aren't the average users of mail service sampled
        to find out what their feelings are about the quality
        of service?

      --What are the prospects for the continued use of over-
        time in Delaware as the means to facilitate the
        modernization of the Postal System? Has the Postal
        Service used realistic estimates of when the more
        modern distribution equipment will be available or are
        there indications that the most optimistic dates were
        selected and that hiring policies continue to be guided
        by them?

      The problems affecting mail service in Delaware are not
 unique but are part of a nationwide pattern. The Postal Serv-
 ice conceded that the quality of mail service has generally
 deteriorated in recent months. In an effort to correct these
 problems, it has implemented changes which should lead to
 improved service.
