Item 3 – Legal Proceedings
We are subject to various claims and liabilities that arise in the normal
course of postal operations. These claims generally relate to labor, tort,
and contract disputes and are regularly reviewed by management, and
where significant, by the Audit and Finance Committee of the Board of
Governors, or the full Board of Governors. In our evaluation, no single
claim is material to our financial statements taken as a whole. We have
accrued in our financial statements of September 30, 2006, the estimated
impact of those claims we think it is probable we will pay. See Note 8,
Contingent Liabilities in Notes to the Financial Statements for additional
information.
Item 4 – Submission of Matters to a Vote
of Security Holders
Not applicable to the United States Postal Service. As an “independent
establishment of the executive branch of the United States government,”
we do not issue stock or related securities.
