Post Office Exemption Helps Avert Postal Cutbacks
Congress moved toward a five week recess after approving a Senate bill that exempts most Post Office jobs from a nationwide cutback ordered with the tax increase. The measure preserves about 5,000 of 761,314 positions and prompted Watson to cancel planned mail service reductions affecting rural offices and home delivery. Senate debate over Abe Fortas’ Supreme Court nomination loomed, with filibuster odds and possible cloture complicating final confirmation.
