The annual gross cost to complete rural free delivery nationwide is about 2 000 000 dollars. The 700 000 square miles not yet served require 27 000 more carriers over three years, bringing total carriers to 40 000 and raising annual appropriations to 8 000 000 to 10 000 000. After completion the system should reduce deficits as revenue grows.
