Congress appears set to approve large pay raises for federal workers while also cutting $4.1 billion in spending. The House advanced a measure urging a 6 percent postal and 4.5 percent general pay hike with additional raises planned for July 1969, at a projected annual cost of $2.7 billion. The bill also seeks postal rate increases from 5 to 6 cents and air mail from 8 to 10 cents. Senate leaders expect swift passage of the spending cut, with White House support, though no tax action is anticipated this year.
