    The Honorable Thaddeus J. Dulski
    Chairman, Committee on Post Office
      and Civil Service
    House of Representatives

    Dear Mr. Chairman:

         Your March 19, 1973, letter requested that we assist
(A' the Subcommittee on Postal Facilities, Mail, and Labor
    Management and the Subcommittee on Postal Service in con-
    nection with the field hearings they would be having as part
    of your Committee's investigation of Postal Service activi-
    ties. On May 4, 1973, we briefed staff members of the Sub-
    committee on Postal Service and a staff member of your Com-
    mittee on our examination of ta!
    provided by the Miami, Florida, Post Officeand gave them
    copies of enclosures I through XIX. The Subcommittee used
    this data during its hearings in Miami on the mail service
    provided by the Miami Post Office. Thisletter summarizes
    our briefing.

         The theme of our briefing was that the Miami Post Office
    had not consistently met the Postal Service's mail delivery
    standards but had improved its performance since the end of
    1972. Significant quantities of first-class mail did not
    meet the standards because of mail processing delays and
    wrong destination routings due to sorting errors. Other
    factors affecting mail service included a significant reduc-
    tion in the mail processing labor force during a period of
    increasing mail volume, the failure to receive a letter sort-
    ing machine which had been scheduled for installation before
    the Christmas surge, and low employee morale.
