Congress Set To Extend Draft
Congress moves to extend the military draft through 1971 while guaranteeing four years of uninterrupted college education for most undergraduates. The measure ends the draft lottery ban and keeps student deferments until degree completion or age 24, with induction in the prime age group thereafter. The President would retain power to set induction order among ages 19 to 25, reversing current practice.
