WASHINGTON — The Postal
|oard of Governors has endorsed a
Iroposed 3- to 5-cent increase in the
ost of mailing a first class letter start-
jig in early 1981, sources said
llonday.
Postmaster General William Bol-
jer announced details of the prop-
;ed across-the-board postage rate
ickage, hammered out during an
■day board meeting Sunday.
The exact increase was not im
mediately known, but sources said if
iirrent budget trends continue, the
fervice would likely need to raise
[ first class rates from the current 15
[cents to at least 19 cents to avoid a
financial crunch.
H If approved by the independent
Postal Rate Commission, the in
crease would mark the first jump in
first class postal rates since May 29,
1978, when the price of a first class
stamp for a one-ounce envelope rose
from 13 cents to 15 cents.
Sources said current rough projec
tions point to a $2.4 billion budget
deficit for the Postal Service in fiscal
1981 if first-class mail rates remain at
15 cents.
The Postal Rate Commission is ex
pected to take eight to nine months
to review the proposal for new rate
hikes.
The Postal Service is likely to hold
off the effective date for its proposed
increase until early 1981, after the
Christmas season which is the most
profitable time of year for the mail
service.

price of first-class stamps, Bolger is
reportedly seeking to overhaul par
cel post rates to give the Postal Ser
vice a new competitive edge against
private firms, mainly the United Par
cel Service.
One source said that even if the
price of first class stamp is raised to
19 cents as early as next January, the
Postal Service still would face a pro
jected $200,000 deficit for fiscal
1981, which begins in October.
— Mental health services are not
available to the majority of the chil
dren needing them.
— One million children run away
from home each year.
—- There are an estimated 5.3 mil
lion problem teen-age drinkers.
The report said the United States
“is the only industrialized nation that
has not adopted the principle of the
right to health care for all children.”
The commission recommended
federal initiation of “a universal and
comprehensive maternal and child
health insurance plan, covering full
costs of all aspects of care. ”
