Selective Service Can Go

Some lawmakers say one small agency has outlived its usefulness. Reps. Peter DeFazio (D-Ore.) and Mike Coffman (R-Colo.) are betting that the military will remain a volunteer force. That means the Selective Service can go. The 130-person agency maintains a database of eligible men, just in case there's a military draft. Agency Director Lawrence Romo said it is an inexpensive insurance policy. The Pentagon's recent decision to let women serve in combat is raising questions about whether women would have to register with the agency too.
