Post Office Service Curtailment Plans Warned by Watson
Watson testified that the 1970 plan would close 7,039 fourth class and 5,000 third class post offices eventually. He said a July 12 order would halt extensions to new houses, offices, or small towns under 2,500 residents. Saturday window service would end July 27 and Saturday mail collection would shift to a Sunday schedule. He said Congress supported cutbacks amid claims of blackmail and public hardship.
