Post Office seeks July rate hike amid pay raise clash
A postal official says the Postal Service will request a rate increase effective in July to fund a six percent pay raise for federal workers. The House rejected a veto of Nixon's order by 207 to 174, with Senate action due by Thursday. Proposals by Moss and McGee seek compromise on raises within private sector guidelines and give the President more discretion, but a quorum issue blocks action.
