US Postmaster Promises on Stamp Rate
Postmaster General John Potter promised the nation Friday that, following this summer’s planned rate increase, postage prices won’t rise again for two years.
The postal governing board is expected to give final approval next week to a 3-cent rate increase, boosting first-class stamps to 37 cents this summer.
Once that increase is in place, Potter said: “I am committed to maintain that rate schedule until at least calendar year 2004.”
