Post Office

I was pleasantly surprised and pleased to see some good news about the government. I refer to the article about how Marvin T. Runyon Jr., our postmaster general, has brought the U.S. Postal Service from a $20-million-a-year deficit to a possible profit and at the same time improved the service and efficiency (Nov. 19).

It is too bad that Runyon can’t be cloned and assigned to other government agencies, such as Medicare, IRS, INS and others that suffer the same malady the Postal Service had. They are top-heavy. They are overloaded with high-salaried, in many cases, unqualified, unnecessary and unneeded supervisors whose sole purpose in life seems to be to create more red tape.
