Summary

Directs the Postal Service to submit to Congress rather than to the Postal Rate Commission any proposed change in the nature of postal service which has nationwide impact. Requires any statement of proposed change so submitted to include an estimate of the impact of such change upon the public, business mail users, service levels and postal finances. Provides that no proposed change in the level of postal services shall become effective unless neither House of Congress adopts a postal service resolution relating to or prohibiting such change during the first 60 days of continuous session of the Congress, following the submission of the proposed change by the Postal Service. Sets forth procedures for congressional consideration of such solutions.
