House Rejects Draft Proposal

NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

WASHINGTON--The House of Representatives yesterday rejected an amendment requiring 18-year-old men to register for the military draft.

House members voted 252-163 to reject the amendment to the $42.1 billion defense authorization bill, and instead instructed President Carter to study the matter.

The amendment, introduced by Rep. G.V. Montgomery (D-Miss.), would have required all 18-year-old men to register beginning on January 2, 1981.

Speaker Thomas (Tip) P. O'Neill Jr. (D-Mass.), said yesterday the House vote will end efforts in Congress to bring back draft registration, at least for the forseeable future.

President Carter has publicly opposed renewing draft registration.
