Pentagon aims to end draft inductions by December
The Pentagon plans to stop draft calls by December as Nixon plans to end conscription by July 1 1973. Melvin Laird says efforts to minimize inductions between January and July 1973 will be pursued while cheering for an all volunteer force. The report notes draft declines due to smaller active forces and higher voluntary enlistment, with current manpower about 2.3 million, 1.2 million below the 1968 peak. A broader pay bonus plan for enlistment and re-enlistment is urged, including special incentives for doctors.
