Mail Pouches Are Full in Ten-Year Outlook
Americans send more mail, the Postal Service says, boosting revenue and dampening rate hikes. A five year forecast shows mail volume near 100 billion by 1981 with a projected surplus of 282 million next year, then deficits of 391 million in 1980 and 1.4 billion thereafter. First class rates could rise to 16 cents for business letters and 1 cent for individuals, lower than earlier 22 to 23 cent projections, as volume growth tempers cost pressures.
