Post Office targets $10 million annual savings on overseas mail
Washington October 4 The Post Office Department opens hearings to cut costs of sending U S mail abroad aiming for at least 10 million dollars annual savings. 32 ocean and 4 foreign airmail carriers face questions over 32 million dollar yearly subsidies under 18 year contracts.

The report notes past ship contract flaws and asks for December 11 recommendations to the President.
