One of the first items of business to be taken up by the Armed Services Committee in this second session of the Eighty-second Congress will be the recommendation of the National Security Training Commission for a program of universal military training (UMT). Last year the Congress approved the principle of universal military training; the questions now are how and when the United States should translate that far-reaching decision into a positive program.
