Nixon puts heat on Congress for draft lottery plan
Senate Republicans say a birth date lottery will likely be used to select the next draftees. President Nixon has urged swift passage, with House approval expected soon and Senate hearings possible if it clears the House. Leaders say the move could end the old draft system and shift to a one year liability after a man’s 19th birthday, pending congressional action.

GOP and Demo Leaders Clash Over Agnew Name Calling
Senate leaders from both parties criticized Vice President Agnew’s harsh labeling of antiwar protesters. Senator Scott urged illumination over invective, while Democratic leaders urged careful language in discussing the Vietnam War. Secretary Rogers noted some unpleasant sights at Moratorium Day but defended peaceful protest. White House aides said Agnew did not have preclearance for the remarks.
