Hechler Criticizes Post Office Rate Subcommittee Sellout
Rep. Hechler accuses a house post office subcommittee of selling out to the direct mail lobby by approving higher first class rates while cutting third class increases. The panel raised letter and postcard rates to six cents and airmail to ten cents, and adjusted third class increases to 3.5 cents over three years. Hechler plans a 4.5 cent third class proposal on the floor if cuts remain.
