Alternatives To Current Draft

Registration Program Needed Unless

Level Of Compliance Improves



Young men are required to register for the
draft within 30 days of their 18th birthday.
GAO found the rate of registration compli-
ance has substantially deteriorated--from 93
percent in 1980, when there was a 2-week
registration period, to 70 percent for the first
9 months of the 1981 continuous draft regis-
tration program. The Selective Service Sys-
tem's records, however, were just as accurate.

A surge of late registrations resulted from the
President's January 1982 decision to continue
draft registration and from the media campaign
that followed concerning possible prosecution
of nonregistrants. GAO believes that, unless
this higher rate of registration is sustained dur-
ing 1982, alternatives will have to be developed.
