Fate Of Draft Bill Hinges On Vote Of House Rules Group
The fate of draft legislation hinges on a House rules committee vote expected today. A split 6-5 on sending the bill to the floor could allow action before next Saturday’s recess, with 12 committee members divided on the issue. The House armed services committee backed the bill in May, while Senate passage moved ahead, and a conference would resolve differences. The measures exempt National Guard members on duty while requiring 18-year-olds to register, with exemptions for reserve groups and possible enlistment to extend draft eligibility.
