Post Office to become independent agency under bill
A House Senate conference panel backs a compromise to make the Post Office an independent agency as the U S Postal Service. A rate increase is likely first, with an 8 percent pay raise for workers and faster pay scales. Unions gain bargaining rights but no union shop. The reform sets an 11 member governors board and a rate commission, both with presidential appointments. The bill requires final approval by Congress and Nixon. Initial funding totals about $800 million annually for 10 years, tapering thereafter.

Relocating costly government equipment from the Lompoc flood plain could also reduce damage. The review notes more data from the Army Engineers is needed and calls the Bureau of Reclamation study reconnaissance in nature.
