GIANT BOMBER Would Eliminate Tests
The bill proposes deferring college undergraduates whose academic work is satisfactory while ending the use of class standings and test scores for local draft boards. It would bar Johnson from implementing a lottery system by January 1, 1969 without Congress approval. The measure allows the President to proceed with reversing the age order of induction to take 20 year olds first and retains local draft boards with federal recommendations. See DRAFT BILL Page 14.
