By diverting $30 million from next spring's budget, hiring temporary workers earlier than usual and winning a high degree of public cooperation - even the White House used ZIP codes on its Christmas cards - the Post Office managed to get by with only routine delays in most places.

Having promised to stump all 50 states, Johnson plans to zip through 15 of them in four days to make good his word.
