Clarification

The story, "Mailer Groups Object to Jan. 8 Rate Hike Implementation" (Direct Newsline, Nov. 15) said money from the $3.1 rate hike was specifically intended to be paid into an escrow account that would help pay for retirement and military service costs of former postal employees. While mailers hoped this money would be used for this purpose, the current Congress has not specifically earmarked this escrow account for any purpose.
