To amend title 39, United States Code, to prevent certain types of mail matter from being sent by a Member of the House of Representatives as part of a mass mailing.
Summary
H.R. 3121 is a proposal that would restrict the types of mass mailings Members of the House of Representatives can send to their constituents at taxpayer expense. Under this bill, House members would be prohibited from using their official mailing privileges to distribute newsletters, press releases, public opinion questionnaires, or congratulatory messages as part of a large-scale mailing. The practical impact of this legislation would be a reduction in the volume of unsolicited official mail citizens receive from their representatives, while limiting the use of government funds for these specific types of mass communications.
