Title: Update on Franking Reform Initiatives in

The recipient of the email expressed support for franking reform, and the House has already taken steps to address this issue by reducing Members' mail accounts and introducing bills such as the Franking Reform Act and the Franking Reform Bill of 1995. Representative Hutchinson's bill reduces franking allowances and requires unobligated funds to be returned to the Treasury, while Representative Greenwood's bill prohibits unsolicited franked mail close to elections. The sender, Rep. Dick Armey, appreciates the recipient's concerns and will consider them as the legislation progresses.
