Assistant Postmaster General Wynne provides the history of a list of members of Congress implicated in a recent indictment regarding clerk-hire allowances at post offices. Originally, the names were omitted, but pressure from the House Committee on Post Offices and Post Roads led to further research and to more names being included on the list, which was kept by the Post Office Department.
