Senators Pledge Final Draft Vote on Peacetime Draft Bill
The Senate pledged a final vote today on a peacetime draft bill with balloting on amendments at 2 p.m. EST and a possible roll call an hour later. Leaders forecast the bill’s approval and its move to the House for further battles. The measure would require 18 through 25 year olds to register with two years of service, allow 160000 year-olds to train for one year, expand services, and revive Selective Service locally for two years. A major change possible was Morse’s proposal to cut draftee service from 24 to 18 months, which the Senate narrowly rejected.
