Quick House Action On Draft Extension
The House Military Committee backed a nine month extension of the draft, placing the measure on the calendar for Friday and Saturday votes. Supporters expect a likely 4 1 vote on the extension, with concerns over election year repercussions. The bill ties Army and Navy requisitions to manpower quotas by July 1847, and leaves pay boosts to separate action.
