We have what closely approximates a total airlift service now," he told a news conference. Within the last year the Post Office has connected more than 500 cities in a nationwide airlift network. "As a result, 75 per cent of all first class mail deposited before 5 p.m. is now being delivered the day after mailing, and 90 per cent is being delivered within two days," he said. O'Brien emphasized, however, that under the present system use of a 10-cent airmail stamp still guarantees air transportation until a new single class priority mail service is formally.
