House Set to Pass Postal Reform Ending Century of Rates Control
The House is expected to approve a sweeping postal reform bill that ends Congress 181-year control over mail rates and appointments. It creates an independent 11‑member board, authorizes up to 10 billion in bonds, raises pay, and speeds modernization while maintaining subsidies through 1979 with a plan to self‑fund by 1984. Prices and operations shift to a permanent postmaster general and a rate commission, with governors retaining some overrides. The measure aims to modernize the U.S. mail system and restructure governance, pay, and rate setting.
