Mail 6 Days

From USA Today: 
"Postal service delays plan to end Saturday mail delivery"

The nation will continue to get its Saturday mail through at least Sept. 30, the U.S. Postal Service said Wednesday.The Postal Service backed down from its plan to cut mail delivery starting this summer from six days a week to five, saying Congress had prohibited such a move. A measure passed by Congress last month to fund government operations while the budget remains in limbo included language that barred the U.S. Postal Service from changing its delivery schedule, the Board of Governors of the postal service said in a statement Wednesday. The board said it was "disappointed" with the move by Congress, but would follow the law. The board directed the postal service to delay the start of its new delivery schedule while it seeks authority from Congress to make the change.

^ It seems that Congress put the USPS back in its place. Good for them (Congress.) ^
