The U. S. Postal Service an
nounced it has again successfully
delivered billions of pieces of
holiday mail and cleared all post
offices of such mail before Christ
mas Eve. despite airline strikes and
other transportation delays caused
by severe weather conditions.
Specific volume figures were not
immediately available. Last year,
the Postal Service successfully de
livered more than nine billion
pieces of mail during the holiday
period.
Public cooperation in adhering
to suggested mailing dates; the
recent upgrading of first-class mail
to equal airmail service; and sup
port from new bulk mail centers all
contributed to moving the mail
smoothly, the Postal Service said.
The daily volume of holiday mail
peaked this year on Dec. 15.
Although early indications show
Christmas mail volume declined
this year compared to last, the
Mail Clears Successfully
Postal Service said an improvement
in its system for counting mail
volume makes a valid comparison
to last year impossible until revenue
figures become available later this
month.
Since last year, bulk mail centers
at Greensboro, N.C., Kansas City,
Mo., and Minneapolis-St. Paul
hive joined the New York bulk
mail center in becoming 100 per
cent operational for the Christmas
mailing season. Another 14 of the
centers in the 21-center Bulk Mail
System were partially phased-in to
help move the mail during this
holiday season. They include: Chi
cago, Detroit, Washington, D.C.,
Pittsburgh, Springfield, Mass.,
Dallas. St. Louis, Seattle, San
Francisco, Atlanta. Denver, Cin
cinnati, Memphis, and Jackson
ville, Fla. The system will become
fully operational next year when the
Los Angeles, Philadelphia and Des
Moines centers open.
