Peter Flanigan attended\nthe meeting. Dr. Tarr reviewed the accomplishments of the\ndraft to date. He pointed out that there was no longer any\nquestioning of the random selection system. He also said\nhe had tried to get younger and more responsive people not\nonly into the Wäshington headquarters but also into the\nState organizations. Further, he was attempting, against\nconsiderable odds, to improve the quality of people on the\nlocal boards.\nTarr said he felt it was necessary that the authority to\ninduct be maintained even though draft calls were at the zero\nlevel. He felt this was essential for national security. He\nurged that any legislation put forward in the coming session\nregarding this matter state the desirability of maintaining the\nPresident's authority to induct.\nTarr also indicated that it was his belief that the all-\nvolunteer armed force had ceased to be a major political\nattraction. The President agreed in this and sald that while\nhe was committed to supporting it, he obviously would be\ninfluenced in the degree of his support by the validity of the\nargument.\nFinally Tarr indicated that he did not wish to remain in\nthe job past the end of the next legislative session. The\nPresident said he thought that the job probably would be done by\nthen and certainly he would expect Tarr to remain in the\ngovernment.\nPeter M.
