Referred to the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform.
This resolution is a House simple resolution that formally honors two Postal Service employees who died after contact with anthrax in 2001 and recognizes other victims and USPS workers. It expresses the House's sympathy and appreciation but does not create law, change benefits, or require action by the Senate or the President. It is a symbolic, non-binding statement of the House's view.
