DMA Extends Its Appreciation

“Senators Susan Collins, Joseph Lieberman, and Tom Carper, and Representatives Tom Davis, Henry Waxman, John McHugh, and Danny Davis have been leaders on postal issues for many years,” said DMA President & CEO John A. Greco, Jr. “But over the past several days, they have really stepped up to the plate and done what was needed to bring this effort to a successful close.”
