The plan would target younger age groups first and adjust monthly quotas by birthday proximity, with timing varying to avoid advantage or disadvantage. The approach differs from prior proposals and aims to reduce administrative errors while exposing youths to potential selection earlier. Ongoing political resistance threatens quick passage this year. OYKOK-Three Japanese fishing boats seized by Soviet patrol boats today for violating territorial waters.
