RESOLUTION

Recognizing the 250th anniversary of the postal service of the United States.

    Whereas, on July 26, 1775, the Second Continental Congress founded the first national postal service to facilitate secure communication between the Continental Army, Congress, and citizens during the American Revolution;

    Whereas the importance of a postal service is recognized in the Constitution, which gave Congress the power to establish post offices and post roads;

    Whereas the postal service has grown from 75 post offices in the original 13 colonies to more than 30,000 locations in every corner of the United States;

    Whereas the postal service holds a unique place in the history of the United States and in the hearts of the people;

    Whereas the postal service embodies the spirit of innovation, determination, longevity, and resilience of the United States;

    Whereas the postal service has facilitated commerce and united the United States;

    Whereas the United States Postal Service was established as an independent establishment of the Federal Government in 1971;

    Whereas the United States Postal Service provides all people in all parts of the United States with universal and open access to its delivery network; and

    Whereas the United States Postal Service remains a vital part of the critical infrastructure of the United States through the delivery of mail and package services 6 days each week to 168,600,000 delivery points: Now, therefore, be it

Resolved,
