Johnson moves ahead on draft changes urged by study panel
President Johnson said he will implement much of the commission’s draft overhaul as Congress debates reform. An executive order extends the personal appearance window for draft appeals from 10 to 30 days, giving more time for hearings and for appeal advisers to assist. The Senate finished hearings, while the House Armed Services Committee planned to hear Sen. Edward Kennedy.

Secretary of State Dean Rusk said the United States is willing to talk peace with Hanoi during the May 23 one day truce but has received no signal of interest from the Soviet backed Communists. He noted past Buddhist holiday lulls have preceded resupply of troops and cautioned pessimism on a serious peace initiative during the pause.
