             THE/POSTAL SERVICE'S METHOD FOR BILLING

                FEDERAL AGENCIES FOR PENALTY MAILl

Mr. Chairman and Members of the Subcommittee:

     I appreciate your invitation to present our views on the

Postal Service's method for billing Federal agencies for penalty

mail.  During this period of fiscal belt-tightening it is impor-

tant that the charges for penalty mail are reasonably accurate so

that the Postal Service can be sure it is receiving revenues it

is entitled to and so that agencies can be made more accountable

for their mailing operations.

     Penalty mail consists of all official Government mail of

the United States (other than franked mail) which can be trans-

mitted without prepayment of postage.  Penalty mail bears the

words Official Business, and Penalty for Private Use, $300,
