Postal Bill ends Congress control of mail rates and post office
The bill ends Congressional control over mail rates and post office operations by creating an independent agency with governors appointed by the President and confirmed by the Senate. It authorizes up to 10 billion in bonds, sets a five member rate commission, and maintains subsidies while raising pay. The plan foresees an 8 cent stamp, a postmaster general as permanent manager, and retroactive 8 percent pay raises for employees.
