72 000 More Men Face Draft in 68 Than Last Year
The draft pool grows as about 500 000 U S troops are in South Vietnam with officials predicting 18 000 more to join by July and 7 000 additional by year end. Despite higher Vietnam costs the Defense Department sees no need for extra Congress funding. Expenditures exceed plans but are offset by reprogramming, stretching current buys, and reallocating funds. Minute Man 2 missiles procurement is affected with Minute Man 3 deliveries delayed 10 to 11 months into the early 1970s. Some electronic buys, trucks, and aircraft orders are also reduced.
