Project 100 000 Nearing End
Pentagon moves to phase out Project 100 000 a Lyndon Johnson era antipoverty program designed to recruit men with lower physical and mental standards. Fewer than 50 000 are expected to enter this year as draft calls decline. The plan aimed to sign up 100 000 yearly but failed to sustain that level and will be reduced as armed forces shrink toward 2.5 million. Ending the draft is targeted by mid 1973 with voluntary service, while some services may still prefer higher standard recruits.
