Item — Box: 6, Folder: 15

Identifier: CAC_CC_047_1_6_15_0008

Scope and Contents

The letter is soliciting opposition to a bill introduced by Honorable Charles E. McKenzie (H.R. 3235) to eliminate the flat postage rates on books and restore the old zone rates. The current rates are seen as beneficial for educational opportunities and decreasing the cost of books for the population. The letter emphasizes the importance of maintaining these rates to assist the weak, poor, and socially disadvantaged without involving red tape, and to equalize opportunities for people living farther from publishing centers. The letter urges Honorable George B. Schwabe to oppose the legislation and circulate the letter among colleagues.
