Senate Votes to Call Up Reservists
The Senate approved standby authority for President Johnson to call thousands of reservists for possible Viet Nam duty in a 66 to 21 vote tying the measure to the defense bill. The plan would allow up to 24 months of active service for individual reservists, with specific exemptions, and was intended to deter avoidance of service while sparing units from mass calls. The authority would lapse by June 30, 1968, and requires a national emergency declaration for current law to permit summons.
