Before I go with the rest of my questions, I do want to thank the dedicated postal workers across this nation, particularly in my state of Nevada.&nbsp;<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size:11pt\"><span style=\"font-family:Calibri,sans-serif\"><span style=\"font-size:14.0pt\"><span style=\"font-family:&quot;Times New Roman&quot;,serif\"><span style=\"color:#0e101a\">I spoke with many of them yesterday, the majority of them veterans, veterans, and their families. They have done years of dedicated service to this country, to this nation, and they are very concerned.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size:11pt\"><span style=\"font-family:Calibri,sans-serif\"><span style=\"font-size:14.0pt\"><span style=\"font-family:&quot;Times New Roman&quot;,serif\"><span style=\"color:#0e101a\">So Mr. DeJoy, earlier this year you\u2019ve acknowledged you made operational changes to the Postal Service &#8212; removed mail sorting machines, you\u2019ve had reduction, elimination of overtime and late trips. In Las Vegas, when we are expecting mail volume to ramp up soon, our postal workers, the one<\/span><\/span><\/span><span style=\"font-size:14.0pt\"><span style=\"font-family:&quot;Times New Roman&quot;,serif\">\u2019<span style=\"color:#0e101a\">s I spoke with yesterday, are reporting the removal of a sorting machine from our General Mail Facility, which is actually right down the street from my house.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size:11pt\"><span style=\"font-family:Calibri,sans-serif\"><span style=\"font-size:14.0pt\"><span style=\"font-family:&quot;Times New Roman&quot;,serif\"><span style=\"color:#0e101a\">As a former programmer and systems analyst, I have a real strong appreciation for the data, so I want to talk about the data that you used to create these policies, what you may have or may not have analyzed to make these changes.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size:11pt\"><span style=\"font-family:Calibri,sans-serif\"><span style=\"font-size:14.0pt\"><span style=\"font-family:&quot;Times New Roman&quot;,serif\"><span style=\"color:#0e101a\">During the pandemic, health officials have directed older Americans to stay at home for their own safety. That means that for our seniors in Nevada and across the country, the Postal Service is the ONLY way that they are going to receive these critical items \u2013 from life-saving prescriptions, household supplies, social security checks. For veterans, my colleagues have already mentioned this, it\u2019s a lifeline. 80 percent of veteran\u2019s prescriptions are filled by the United States Postal Service. I have 225,000 veterans in Nevada, many of them relying on this for timely delivery of life-saving medication. And in small towns across Nevada, from Gabbs \u2013 who has a population of 269 people \u2013 to Schurz \u2013 a tribal community with 658 people \u2013 to some of my larger rural communities, all they get is the Postal Service.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size:11pt\"><span style=\"font-family:Calibri,sans-serif\"><span style=\"font-size:14.0pt\"><span style=\"font-family:&quot;Times New Roman&quot;,serif\"><span style=\"color:#0e101a\">So please, could you answer yes or no?<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size:11pt\"><span style=\"font-family:Calibri,sans-serif\"><span style=\"font-size:14.0pt\"><span style=\"font-family:&quot;Times New Roman&quot;,serif\"><span style=\"color:#0e101a\">Before developing and implementing policy changes since assuming your role this year, did you conduct any specific analysis on how your changes would impact seniors?
