WASHINGTON - The cost of mailing a letter will go up on May 14, but
you'll be able to lock in that price ? no matter how rates rise in the
future ? by buying the new "forever" stamp.
The post office governing board agreed Monday to accept the new 41-cent
rate for first class mail recommended in February by the independent
Postal Regulatory Commission.
The board also agreed to the proposal for a "forever stamp," that will
always be valid for mailing a letter no matter how much rates increase.
James C. Miller III, chairman of the postal board, said the forever
stamp could go on sale as soon as next month, at the 41-cent rate.
