the effect of expanding the classes of mail or kinds of mailers
eligible for reduced rates of postage should provide for suffi-
cient funding to ensure that neither any losses to the United
States Postal Service nor any increase in the rates of post-
age for any of the other classes of mail or kinds of mailers
will result.
