Dear Mr. Chairman:

     Your September 23, 1977, letter, requested that we
review the U.S. Postal Service's practices for procuring
highway transportation services, with emphasis on the

     --effects of contracting on postal motor vehicle
       service employment,

     --adequacy of policies and procedures regarding
       safety and security,.

     --availability of data to assess performance of each
       mode of highway service, and the steps taken by the
       Postal Service to ensure ontime delivery performance
       by highway contractors, and

     --fairness of policies and procedures regarding
       contractor requests for cost increases.

     We worked in the central region at the Transportation
Management Office in Columbus, Ohio, and at the Sectional
Center Facility in Youngstown, Ohio. Because of the
decentralized nature of transportation management, we later
expanded our work to include various other postal facilities
in the eastern and southern regions to get a more representa-
tive sample. A summary of our findings follows, and a more
detailed discussion of the information is contained in the
enclosure.
