If thats not enough to convince my colleagues. Mr. Speaker. they should consider the bottom line. Peacetime draft registration has cost taxpayers over $400 million since its reinstitution in 1980.

Finally. the real impetus for terminating draft registration comes from the Selective Service System itself. A scathing evaluation was recently released by the U.S.
