House panel weighs callup of 60,000 reserves
The House Armed Services Committee is weighing legislation to authorize calling up about 60,000 Reservists and National Guardsmen not attached to units for active duty. The measure reacts to a Senate plan and aims to define reserve makeup and administration. A key provision would require any Reservist or Guardsman without 24 months active duty and not attached to a unit to be liable for active duty.
