Report To The Director

Selective Service System








Failure Of Registrants To Report

Address Changes Would Diminish

Fairness Of Induction Processing


Having correct mailing addresses for regis-
trants is vital to the Selective Service's abil-
ity to administer a draft equitably. GAO
found, however, that most persons who
moved after registering did not notify the
Service of their new mailing addresses.

As a result, address information for be-
tween one-fifth and two-fifths of the regis-
trants facing induction could be outdated,
should a draft be reactivated. Since undeliv-
ered or late induction notices increase the
probability that those persons who keep
their registration current would be drafted,
the equity of the system is reduced.
GAO recommends that the Director, Selec-
tive Service System, take specific actions to
maintain the fairness of the draft system.
