Eisenhower seeks postal rate hike to fund 1961 budget
President Eisenhower sent a special message to Congress proposing an increase in first class rates to 8 cents per ounce and overall mail rate rises as part of a 2.5 billion dollar postal package. Second class rates would rise about 40 percent and third class rail rates about 25 percent, affecting newspapers, magazines, and small packages. The move is tied to the fiscal year 1961 budget beginning July 1, with failure to act risking a 1.2 billion dollar surplus shortfall.
