...proposal for a lottery procedure for the draft. The bill passed the House, but Democratic leaders in the Senate want to reform the whole Selective Service Act and contend that this requires more time.

One of the other letters indicates certain gaps in Jackie's well-known attention to detail: "His shoe size is 10 C. So perhaps you will know what size socks to give...
