Congress Returns to Tackle Postal Service Crisis
In Washington, Congress resumes after the Republican convention to confront the Postal Service deficit of about 4.5 billion dollars and service cuts. A Senate bill would provide 1 billion dollars in subsidies through September 1977, limit further cuts, and form a commission for a long-term plan by February 15, 1977. Senate opponents seek broader fixes including reuniting the USPS with the federal budget and restructuring governance.
