Draft reform proposals aim to shift induction ages and deferments
A Clark panel joins President Johnson’s commission in urging monthly 1-A quotas for 19 to 20 year olds, reversing the current oldest-first 1-A policy. It recommends deferring all higher education students while in good standing until degree or age 24, with later reentry to 1-A, and limits on postgrad deferments. The plan retains no lottery and seeks earlier induction with restricted college postponements to maintain trained manpower for national security.
