- Description:
- The document is addressed to Congresswoman Helen Gahagan Douglas from a constituent, Marie Botek, regarding the issue of 18 year olds who voluntarily enlisted in the armed services and are now seeking to resign. Botek believes that these individuals should receive the same consideration as 18 year olds who were drafted, and requests that Douglas look into the matter and advocate for their discharge at the earliest possible time.
