Opposition to The Nine-Digit Zip Code: A Plea to Congress

The author is writing a letter to Congressman James R. Jones expressing gratitude for his support in the fight against the nine-digit zip code. The author warns against being deceived by the postmaster generals claims about the benefits of the zip plus four identification and the voluntary use of the zip code. The author believes that the bureaucratic imposition of the zip code is unwanted by the people and shares attached editorials that support their viewpoint. The letter also mentions the Farmers Almanac predicting an ice age. The letter is accompanied by enclosures related to weather predictions and general information. The text also includes some unrelated content about postal hikes and postal service performance.
