Pentagon target nears end of draft by December
The Pentagon aims to stop draft inductions by December, six months before Nixon's 1973 deadline to end conscription. Melvin Laird pledged minimal draft calls January through July 1973 as induction authority expires. A zero draft by mid-1973 is possible, with gains from a volunteer force and bonuses to entice enlistments.
