- The document from Mr. Cavanaugh to Mr. Schwabe discusses arguments against the extension of the Selective Service Act and adoption of a universal peacetime Military Training Act.

He also argues that ROTC is a better solution and questions the motives of the Army in advocating for draft extension.
