Postal deficits loom as Brown urges rate continuance
Postmaster General Brown warns of an 80 million dollar postal deficit for the current year and urges Congress to keep rates steady until finances return to sound footing. He notes a 152 million deficit for the year ended June 30 and says volume declines, not rates, reduced revenues while expenditures can be trimmed in the current year under the new economy law. Brown favors delaying rate hikes or restoring the two cent internal revenue for mail or lowering rates as activity returns.
