Requires the Comptroller General (GAO) to investigate nationwide patterns and instances of mail theft, mail delays, USPS employee violations investigated by the Postal Service OIG, other crimes under Postal Inspection Service jurisdiction, and theft/vandalism of Postal Service property. GAO must deliver a report to House Oversight and Senate Homeland Security committees annually for five years, describe existing USPS measures, make recommendations, and consult with the Postal Inspector General and the Postal Inspection Service.

Likely views the bill as a modest, sensible oversight measure to gather facts before legislative action.
Supports evidence-based recommendations but wants to avoid duplicative studies and uncontrolled cost increases.
Generally supportive of oversight that exposes theft and protects mail integrity, especially against fraud.
