                NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF LETTER CARRIERS

 Mr. SHELBY. Mr. President, I would like to bring to your 
attention the National Association of Letter Carriers Food Drive Day. 
On Saturday, May 8, letter carriers from around the country will 
collect nonperishable food items placed near their customers' mail 
boxes. The food will then be given to local food pantries for 
distribution to those in need. The National Association of Letter 
Carriers in Alabama collected more than 500,000 items last year alone, 
and I would like to encourage my colleagues to support the letter 
carriers' food drives in their States, districts, and hometowns in 
order to make this worthy event a success.
