Senate Panel Urges 19-Year-Old Inductions In Draft
The Senate Armed Services Committee recommended starting inductions at age 19, reversing Johnson's suggested order.

The panel urged retaining local draft boards with limited tenure, preserving student deferments, and extending draft provisions to alien doctors and dentists.
