Clerk.

Mr. COLLEY. I will be glad to answer any further questions or supply any additional information the subcommittee may wish to include in the hearing record.

Mr. SHIPLEY. Thank you very much, both of you. I don't have any questions. I think you did a fine job in outlining your justifications. Mr. Coughlin.

Mr. COUGHLIN. I was not here when the Postmaster testified but I did want to say, as I have in the past, that I think the service we get as to our mail is really a remarkable performance. I wish we could run our Postal Service nationally as well as the international operations.

I also was not here when the Doorkeeper testified. Is there any increase?

Mr. COLLEY. Basically, it is for pay raises and longevity increases. Mr. COUGHLIN. I have no further questions.

Mr. SHIPLEY. Thank you very much.

Mr. HENSHAW. We thank you very much.

Mr. SHIPLEY. Well, that completes the testimony for today. I think we did very well.
