New postal probe urged
Eight years after a blue ribbon commission recommended reforms a new commission is proposed to study the Postal Service. President Ford and congressional postal leaders agree to inject $1 billion more in aid over the next two years to stave off insolvency while the study runs. The plan mirrors 1967 1968 efforts that led to the Postal Reorganization Act of 1970 creating the independent Postal Service.
