On the recordJune 25, 1996
Is it not true that the Postmaster General has raised serious questions about this bill, and what he would be required to do is in the way of raising postal rates for everyone because of the subsidy that would be required under this bill for lower postal rates in an election year? ... This bill is not free. The notion has been put forth that somehow the spending limits are free. In fact, it passes the cost on to the broadcasting industry and on to the postal patrons of this country.
