Draft Extension Hangs on June 50 Expiration
Draft extension appears certain to be delayed past the present June 50 limit as many amendments remain and senators dispute when to vote on defunding U S operations in Indochina. Officials say if the bill misses June 90 timing they may summon deferred draft-eligible individuals, including students. Sen John C Steams calls a failure a national calamity. The House has extended the draft for two years. The Senate rejected one-year and end-date extensions Friday while plans for a June 18 vote on a revised McGovern Hatfield amendment collapsed in cloakroom talks. Progress limited to debate-time limits on 27 amendments and a measure to cut four years from the 20 year draft board limit.
