House Passes Reservist Callup Bill
Washington reports the House passed and sent to the Senate a bill allowing the president to call up to 198000 reservists and National Guardsmen for active duty. The measure, added to a reserve rights bill, targets underutilized reserves and aims to block a Army Reserve National Guard merger, with 133000 men under four months active duty and 65000 not in organized units or with incomplete reserve obligations. The Senate had previously attached the callup to a defense bill affecting up to 472000 men.
