House Takes up the Postal Service Debate Again:
Representative Darrell Issa of California and Senator Tom Carper of Delaware are overseeing efforts in the Senate and the House to come up with bipartisan postal legislation, an effort that failed in the 112th Congress.
Issa made a compromise last week in a draft version of a Postal Service overhaul bill, the Postal Reform Act of 2013.
The draft from the House Oversight Committee would greatly reduce a financially crippling annual requirement to prefund health costs for future retirees.
