              US Postal Service to Continue Saturday Mail Delivery

   The financially-strapped U.S. Postal Service says it will continue
   delivering mail on Saturday because Congress has given it no other
   choice.
   Postal Service officials say Congress had used "restrictive language"
   in recent spending legislation that prohibits the implementation of its
   new delivery schedule. That schedule would have delivered packages, but
   eliminated Saturday delivery of first-class mail starting in August.
   The Postal Service lost $16 billion last year. In February, it asked
   Congress to write the spending law so the service could switch to
   five-day mail delivery and save $2 billion annually.
