                 CHAPTER I--UNITED STATES POSTAL SERVICE
 
PART 3--BOARD OF GOVERNORS (ARTICLE III)--Table of Contents
 
Sec. 3.1  Responsibilities of Board.

    The composition of the Board is described in 39 U.S.C. 202. The 
Board directs the exercise of the powers of the Postal Service, reviews 
the practices and policies of the Postal Service, and directs and 
controls the expenditures of the Postal Service. Consistent with the 
broad delegation of authority to the Postmaster General in Sec. 3.5 of 
these bylaws, and except for those powers, duties, or obligations which 
the Reorganization Act specifically vests in the Governors, as 
distinguished from the Board of Governors, the Board accomplishes its 
purposes by monitoring the operations and performance of the Postal 
Service, and by establishing basic objectives, broad policies, and long-
range goals for the Postal Service.
