Mr. Ned O'Hara:

Then it will not be a Government decision whether post offices will close. Individual postmasters will make that decision. That is the concern.

When we were quizzed on this a few years ago when we were negotiating an agreement, we were asked to explain - something like the Chairman is asking me now - what would happen. My answer was interpreted as that there would be unrestrained closures. There will be unrestrained resignations if a decision is not made.
