Senators Russell and Saltonstall back an amendment to the defense appropriation bill to authorize, not require, such callups, potentially affecting over 500000 reservists. The move contrasts with Defense Secretary McNamara and Johnson who oppose active duty calls, while the Appropriations Committee urges wider reserve use.
