These operate just as you suggest, in places of business outside of a Post Office.<br /><br />However, I have to take a stand with your proposal to scrap "guaranteed pensions".

The language may or not be contingent or it may be severable.<br />Donahoe could argue that since the continuing resolution expires on March 27th that the specific requirement to deliver six days also expires on that date.
