Postal rate hikes asked by Johnson
President Johnson asked Congress for across the board postal rate increases to raise first class mail by one cent to six cents and air mail by one cent to nine cents. He paired the hike with a 4.5 percent civilian and military pay raise costing $1 billion yearly. July 1 start for mail hikes and October 1 for pay raise if approved. He said the changes would cost mail users $700 million in 1968 and $800 million annually thereafter, noting the Post Office deficit would be about $1.2 billion in 1968 without the raise. He urged quick action to build an efficient postal system. The plan also includes second class up 22 percent, third class up 28 percent, fourth class up 21 percent, and a surcharge on odd size envelopes to deter unmachinable mail.
