On the recordJune 26, 1996
I propose an amendment that would provide for continued military support to the Selective Service. Mr. President, the downsizing of the reserve component force is causing the military leadership to reevaluate their ability to continue providing support to the Selective Service. This amendment will exempt the reservists who are assigned to duty with the Selective Service from counting against the selective reserve end strength. In order to preclude any part from taking advantage of this exemption, the amendment would limit the number of reservists who could be assigned to duty with the Selective Service at the 1996 level. Mr. President, this is a no-cost amendment which will benefit the Selective Service and the reserve component personnel assigned in support of the unique mission of the Selective Service. I urge my colleagues to support the amendment.
