Defense Secretary Melvin Laird warned it is unlikely the draft will be scrapped or the U S armed forces fully converted to volunteers by mid-1971. He endorsed voluntary ideas in the Gates panel report but said force levels may need to stay around 2.5 million, with a standby draft for up to 15 years. He also noted limited expansion of U S ground forces in Laos, while allowing potential air power support.
