National Service Debate Shapes Around Volunteer Army Plan

Nine senators propose ending the draft six months after law, raising pay by 100 dollars monthly at a 3.7 billion yearly cost, with registration continuing and possible reauthorization in emergencies. President Nixon favors a volunteer force postwar. The report notes broad support for universal service and concerns about preserving a professional army and Selective Service.
