------- any time previously on active
duty for training purposes
Proponets of Mr^Btos^e
many draft-age youths have
signed up for Reserve and
Guard duty to avoid induction
for active military service.
They argued that the policy
of allowing young men to ful-
fill their military obligation
without the risk of going into
combat was unfair to those who
are drafted or who volunteer
for active duty.
Consider Family
Since the appropriat i o ns
measure passed by the House
and the one approved by the
Senate differed, the measures
were sent to a Senate-House
conf re nee where a com prom sc
was reached Wednesday.
Among other things, the com-
promise included agreement for
the House to vote on the Sen-
ate’s Reserves prpvision. I
