General

Correspondence. Writing to second the recommendation made by Fr. Robert Drinan in the National Catholic Reporter calling for Congress to terminate the present Selective Service registration requirements and program. Makes this call for termination in light of the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan and President Carter's response to resume draft registration as a message of protest. In addition, says that the expenditures needed to maintain full-scale operations of the Selective Service System should be a major consideration when the nation is burdened with a record-breaking deficit.
