...deficit of $13 million. In fiscal year 1974, the deficit had swollen to $438 million; in fiscal year 1975, which ended this summer, the deficit was $825 million; and in the current fiscal year, which will end June 30, 1976, the Postmaster General currently predicts that the deficit will exceed $1.4 billion-and then only if another substantial increase in postal rates, including a ? first-class-letter rate, takes effect on Dec. 28, as scheduled.
