  1  6    WHEREAS, the current area mail processing center in

  1 12 Falls, South Dakota; and
  1 13    WHEREAS, currently the mail service in Sioux City
  1 14 and the surrounding area is very prompt, providing

  1 18 justifiably proud of their 150=year=old postmark; and

  1 23    BE IT RESOLVED BY THE SENATE, That the Senate
  1 24 requests that the United States Postal Service retain
