Federal post office plan expands five day service
The plan would restore five day mail delivery in most cities with one skipped delivery day weekly where foot delivery is used and would authorize window service on Saturdays and some Sundays in about 15000 post offices. Late night hours and money order sales on Saturdays would resume, costing about $15 million annually to improve service as the deficit is targeted at $400 million this year. Senator Monroney lauds the step as the first move toward better postal service and expects more reforms to follow.

Johnson's Election-Year Program Upends GOP Strategy
AP analysis notes President Johnson’s State of the Union plan constrains Republican opposition. Senate leader Dirksen and Rep. Ford face pressure over Vietnam and domestic reforms while Johnson piles billions in spending and new programs. Republicans fear inflation and rare opportunities before November elections.
