Hechler accuses post office panel of sell-out on mail rates
Rep. Ken Hechler charges a House Post Office subcommittee with a brazen sell-out to the di rect-mail lobby by raising first class rates and cutting back third class. The panel voted to raise letters to 6 cents and air mail to 10 cents while reducing proposed third class increases, setting third class at 3.5 cents over three years. Hechler plans to offer a 4.5 cent third class rate on the floor and seeks restoration of third class cuts, plus a new surcharge for magazines over 500000 in circulation. The full committee will take up the bill next week.
