"John Glenn's return voyage did more than advance our knowledge, it lifted our spirits," said Deborah Willhite, Senior Vice President, Government Relations and Public Policy, who unveiled the stamp. "It also reawakened our interest in space, inspired millions young and old, and cemented John Glenn's place as one of the world's greatest astronauts," she said.

At a special ceremony in Liverpool today, U.S. Postal Service Senior Vice President of Government Relations Deborah Willhite and the Lord Mayor of Liverpool unveiled the new Beatles commemorative U.S. postage stamp. The ceremony was part of a day-long event to celebrate the rerelease of the animated film Yellow Submarine.

USPS Senior Vice President Deborah Willhite, asked by reporters why postal workers had not been tested when the politicians and aides on Capitol Hill were, said her agency had followed the advice of the Centers for Disease Control (CDC). The CDC, declared Willhite, said that testing would not be necessary "until there was an evidence chain that indicated there was anthrax present in the facility."

That evidence was provided by the deaths of two workers.

USPS Warns It May Cut Back Delivery To Save Money

Universal delivery of mail or six-day delivery may become a thing of the past if the U.S. Postal Service doesn't get more flexibility to adjust prices, a postal official warned.

"This would certainly be one of our last choices," said Deborah Willhite, the agency's senior vice president for public affairs. "But there is a reality that has to be faced - with the continuing growth of delivery points and the inability to respond quickly to other changes in the marketplace - that to remain financially sound, we'll have to look at things above and beyond the actions we are taking."

"The current system has run its course, and our options are not the ones that a good business would use." Willhite declined to be more specific about her comments. Industry insiders questioned whether the statement is a ploy to get public sympathy.

What a joke! John Glenn is a dirtbag who sold out his principles the day he landed in Washington. As for John Glenn's last space flight, that was nothing but a Klinton payoff. Read what Chuck Yeager had to say about it HERE.
