Johnson seeks postal hikes and three stage federal pay raise
President Johnson urged Congress to raise postal rates by a cent for letter mail and to lift all other postal charges. He proposed a three stage pay increase averaging 4.5 percent for 2.5 million civilian workers and the armed forces, effective Oct 1, 1967, with further steps in 1968 and 1969 to align with private wages, totaling over 2.5 billion annually. The plan would first raise air mail to 9 cents and introduce various annual increases, while delaying some bulk and third class rate changes until later.
