Changes in Draft Balked by House Committee
The House Armed Services Committee blocks Johnson draft reforms, voting against giving the president final say on college deferments and delaying local board changes. It would keep undergrad deferments until degree, open debate on graduate student status, veto power over lottery plans within 60 days, and set national standards for local boards to classify deferment or exemption. Rep. Richard Schweiker says aim is to curb inconsistent local board decisions.
