Johnson seeks across the board postal rate hike and civilian pay rise
President Johnson urged Congress to raise postal rates across the board, boosting first class mail to six cents and air mail to nine cents, while proposing a 4.5 percent pay increase for civilian workers and military personnel. The plan cites costs of about $1 billion annually for the pay raise and $700 million initially for the mail boost, with implementation slated for July 1967 and October 1967 for pay. The message notes Post Office deficit in 1968 even without the increases and favors a modern, efficient system.
