Compromise Reserve Bill Sent to President in Senate Action
The Senate completed action by voice vote on a broad reserve program with limited compulsory features, sending the proposal to President Eisenhower who is unlikely to veto. The House approved 315-78, aiming to expand combat-ready reserves but falling short of the 2.9 million goal by 1960. The bill would require six years total military obligation, allow 17 to 18 year olds limited training, and impose weekly drills plus a summer camp with optional 30 day camps. It also contemplates 45 days of active service for noncompliers and potential callups of one million in national emergencies.
