Postal reform gains Nixon endorsement in push to move Post Office
President Nixon praised a plan to place the Post Office under a public corporation as reformers led by Blount O'Brien and Morton pressed a last minute push. The proposal would create a nine member board with seven presidential appointees and two operators. Congress is weighing the plan amid union opposition and a current 1.3 billion dollar deficit. If enacted it could take years to erase the shortfall and improve service.
