Nixon Plans Elimination of the Draft
President Nixon urged Congress to clear the way for an all volunteer Army by mid 1973 with a 1.5 billion pay raise and reforms to military life. He proposed extending draft authority to July 1 1973 and argued for zero draft calls by that date while reviewing policy. The plan features higher pay for lower ranks, expanded incentives, ROTC expansion, and nationalized draft quota handling under a lottery system. Sens. Hatfield and Goldwater led a bipartisan group proposing larger pay increases and broader benefits not in Nixon's plan.
