Post Office Department urged to become non profit corporation
A Washington report from a presidential commission led by Frederick H. Kappel recommends scrapping the Post Office Department and replacing it with a self sustaining non profit government corporation. It argues privatizing would raise rates but end taxpayer subsidies while ending political control and free franks. The 1967 idea, first proposed by then Postmaster General Lawrence F. O'Brien, is described as a solution to chronic deficits and mismanagement.
