Mathias Seeks Uniform Air Mail Rate to Viet Nam
Rep. Charles Mathias Jr. says he will explore legislation for a uniform air mail rate to Viet Nam to ease costs for mothers like Mrs. Robert Green of Union Bridge. The plan aims to avoid penalizing citizens by location under the zone system and could set the rate near the cheapest existing option. Green notes two sons in Viet Nam and reports about 96.72 spent on air mail postage since last fall.
