Senate to Consider Draft Bill Monday in War Powers Move
The Senate plans to set aside the unanimous consent rule and take up the administration manpower bill raising draft ages from 18 to 43 next Monday. Senate leaders asked absentees to return Thursday for a 2 quorum, with committee action possible tomorrow and a favorable report to follow. House action awaits reconvening Monday. Opposition is anticipated to oppose 18 as the minimum age, while prohibition advocates hope to avoid delay on the rider tied to the emergency agricultural bill.
