     B-114874

     The Honorable Pierre S. du Pont               JUL    1973
  /,, House of Representatives

     Dear Mr. du Pont:

          Pursuant to your February 2, 1973, request we reviewed
V    postal operations in DelawareC. 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.

                                          0 ?
