The new letter rate will be 36 cents. Most other postal fees and services would also rise but the majority of new revenues would come from com- mercial and competitive servies. Let- ters to the U.S.A. will be 42 cents. . As previously announced, the letter rate increase is less than the rise in the Consumer Price Index continuing a four year trend. In addition there will be no increase on post office lock boxes and on some other commonly used services such as ch of ad- dress. The five -cent �tmas greeting card discount for.rspecial postal coded envelopes will also continue. The Corporation expects the rate proposals to generate approximately $127 million in additional revenue a year to offset continuing pressure from inflation and household growth and to further reduce public funding. The Government funded postal operating deficit was $184 million last year. These subsidies are to end After March 31, 1988.
