Draft Liability Extended For Certain Registrants
President Nixon ordered a three month extension of draft liability for men entering the 1970 pool with lottery numbers already reached by local boards. The measure affects only relatively small numbers, possibly around 300 in New Mexico, and preserves earlier rules that 1-A entrants in 1970 become lower priority in 1971 unless deferments or exemptions are lost. The order preserves the lottery fairness goal by preventing late entrants from escaping the draft.
