But the system remains with 18 year olds registering and standby lotteries annually. All military service will be voluntary as of now, five months before Nixon hoped. Inductions end, 5,000 men slated for June 30 are canceled, and peak 1966 drafts reached 383,626 while last year saw 48,000.

James, the designated commissioner, whose nomination was returned at Bond’s request. Senator Richard M. Webster then proposed a bill to adjust the requirements so James qualifies.
