Nixon proposes 8 cent mail rate and new Postal Service
President Nixon asked Congress to raise a letter rate to 8 cents from 10 and to establish a United States Postal Service. The plan links higher wages with a reorganized post office and creates a nine member bipartisan commission to oversee the postmaster general. AFL-CIO head George Meany hailed the pact as a major advance for federal bargaining and wider coverage for federal workers. Postmaster General Blount said the plan should prevent wildcat strikes that disrupted major cities' mail. Nixon also announced a future visit to the western White House in late April for a 10 day working vacation.
