Senate approves extended two year draft in Indochina withdrawal plan
After seven weeks of debate the Senate passed 72 16 a two year draft extension bill with a nine month Indochina withdrawal deadline if American prisoners are freed Final action by June 30 remains doubtful as House opposition looms The measure would end deferments for college undergraduates and allow draftees to consult a lawyer or present witnesses in board hearings The bill extends the draft to June 30 1973 and envisions a shift to an all volunteer force later, contingent on manpower needs and incentives
