regulations prescribed by the President: And provided further, That

such local board to meet a call for men which it has been ordered

to furnish for induction;

PROC. NO. 3945. RANDOM SELECTION FOR MILITARY SERVICE

Proc. No. 3945, Nov. 26, 1969, 34 F.R. 19017, 83 Stat. 972,

provided:

WHEREAS section 5(a)(1) of the Military Selective Service Act of

1967, as amended (50 U.S.C. App. 455(a)(1)) [now the Military

Selective Service Act], provides that selection of persons for

training and service under that Act shall be made in an impartial

manner without discrimination on account of race or color, under

such rules and regulations as the President may prescribe; and

WHEREAS section 5(a)(2) of that Act (50 U.S.C. App. 455(a)(2))

limited the President's authority to prescribe rules and

regulations by requiring, in effect, the selection of registrants

through a method known as "oldest first"; and

WHEREAS such section 5(a)(2) has been repealed by Public Law

91-124 of November 26, 1969:

NOW, THEREFORE, I, RICHARD NIXON, President of the United States

of America, acting under and by virtue of the authority vested in

me by section 5(a) of the Military Selective Service Act of 1967,

as amended, and having determined that a method of random selection

will provide the most equitable basis for selection of registrants

for military training and service, do hereby proclaim the

following:

That a random selection sequence will be established by a drawing

to be conducted in Washington, D.C., on December 1, 1969, and will

be applied nationwide. The random selection method will use 366

days to represent the birthdays (month and day only) of all

registrants who, prior to January 1, 1970, shall have attained

their nineteenth year of age but not their twenty-sixth. The

drawing, commencing with the first day selected and continuing

until all 366 days are drawn, shall be accomplished impartially.

On the day designated above, a supplemental drawing or drawings

will be conducted to determine alphabetically the random selection

sequence by name among registrants who have the same birthday.

The random selection sequence obtained as described above shall

determine the order of selection of registrants who prior to

January 1, 1970, shall have attained their nineteenth year of age

but not their twenty-sixth and who are not volunteers and not

delinquents. New random selection sequences shall be established,

in a similar manner, for registrants who attain their nineteenth

year of age on or after January 1, 1970.

The random sequence number determined for any registrant shall

apply to him so long as he remains subject to induction for

military training and service by random selection.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this twenty-sixth

day of November, in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred and

sixty-nine, and of the Independence of the United States of America

the one hundred and ninety-fourth.

Richard Nixon.

serve satisfactorily.

(C) Except as provided in subsection (b) and the provisions of

this subsection, no person who becomes a member of a reserve

1961, in the Ready Reserve of any reserve component of the Armed

Forces (other than under section 12103 of title 10, United States

Code), the Army National Guard, or the Air National Guard, prior to

attaining age of twenty-six years, or any person enlisted or

appointed in the Army National Guard or the Air National Guard or

enlisted in the Ready Reserve of any reserve component prior to

attaining the age of eighteen years and six months and deferred

under the prior provisions of this paragraph as amended by the Act

of October 4, 1961, Public Law 87-378 (75 Stat. 807), or under

section 262 of the Armed Forces Reserve Act of 1952, as amended [50

U.S.C. 1013], who fails to serve satisfactorily during his

obligated period of service as a member of such Ready Reserve or

National Guard or the Ready Reserve of another reserve component or

the National Guard of which he becomes a member, may be selected

for training and service and inducted into the armed force of which

such reserve component is a part, prior to the selection and

induction of other persons liable therefor.

(d)(1) Within such numbers as may be prescribed by the Secretary

of Defense, any person who (A) has been or may hereafter be

selected for enrollment or continuance in the senior division,

Reserve Officers' Training Corps, or the Air Reserve Officers'

Training Corps, or the Naval Reserve Officers' Training Corps, or

the naval and Marine Corps officer candidate training program

established by the Act of August 13, 1946 (60 Stat. 1057), as

amended, or the Reserve officers' candidate program of the Navy, or

the platoon leaders' class of the Marine Corps, or the officer

procurement programs of the Coast Guard and the Coast Guard

Reserve, or appointed an ensign, United States Naval Reserve, while

undergoing professional training; (B) agrees, in writing, to accept

a commission, if tendered, and to serve, subject to order of the

Secretary of the military department having jurisdiction over him

(or the Secretary of Homeland Security with respect to the United

States Coast Guard), not less than two years on active duty after

receipt of a commission; and (C) agrees to remain a member of a

regular or reserve component until the eighth anniversary of the

receipt of a commission in accordance with his obligation under the

first sentence of section 651 of title 10, United States Code, or

until the sixth anniversary of the receipt of a commission in

accordance with his obligation under the second sentence of section

651 of title 10, United States Code, shall be deferred from

induction under this title [sections 451 to 471a of this Appendix]

until after completion or termination of the course of instruction

and so long as he continues in a regular or reserve status upon

being commissioned, but shall not be exempt from registration. Such

persons, except those persons who have previously completed an

initial period of military training or an equivalent period of

active military training and service, shall be required while

enrolled in such programs to complete a period of training equal

(as determined under regulations approved by the Secretary of

Defense or the Secretary of Homeland Security with respect to the

United States Coast Guard) in duration and type of training to an

initial period of military training. There shall be added to the

obligated active commissioned service of any person who has agreed

to perform such obligatory service in return for financial

assistance while attending a civilian college under any such

training program a period of not to exceed one year. Except as

provided in paragraph (5), upon the successful completion by any

person of the required course of instruction under any program

listed in clause (A) of the first sentence of this paragraph, such

person shall be tendered a commission in the appropriate reserve

component of the Armed Forces if he is otherwise qualified for such

appointment. If, at the time of, or subsequent to, such

appointment, the armed force in which such person is commissioned

does not require his service on active duty in fulfillment of the

obligation undertaken by him in compliance with clause (B) of the

first sentence of this paragraph, such person shall be ordered to

active duty for training with such armed force in the grade in

which he was commissioned for a period of active duty for training

of not more than six months (not including duty performed under

section 10147 of title 10, United States Code), as determined by

the Secretary of the military department concerned to be necessary

to qualify such person for a mobilization assignment. Upon being

commissioned and assigned to a reserve component, such person shall

be required to serve therein, or in a reserve component of any

other armed force in which he is later appointed, until the eighth

anniversary of the receipt of such commission pursuant to the

provisions of this section. So long as such person performs

satisfactory service, as determined under regulations prescribed by

the Secretary of Defense, he shall be deferred from training and

service under the provisions of this Act. If such person fails to

perform satisfactory service, and such failure is not excused under

regulations prescribed by the Secretary of Defense, his commission

may be revoked by the Secretary of the military department

concerned.

(2) In addition to the training programs enumerated in paragraph

(1) of this subsection, and under such regulations as the Secretary

of Defense (or the Secretary of the Treasury (!3) with respect to

the United States Coast Guard) may approve, the Secretaries of the

military departments and the Secretary of the Treasury (!3) are

authorized to establish officer candidate programs leading to the

commissioning of persons on active duty. Any person heretofore or

hereafter enlisted in the Army Reserve, the Naval Reserve, the

Marine Corps Reserve, the Air Force Reserve, or the Coast Guard

Reserve who thereafter has been or may be commissioned therein upon

graduation from an Officers' Candidate School of such Armed Force

shall, if not ordered to active duty as a commissioned officer, be

deferred from training and service under the provisions of this Act

so long as he performs satisfactory service as a commissioned

officer in an appropriate unit of the Ready Reserve, as determined

under regulations prescribed by the Secretary of the department

concerned. If such person fails to perform satisfactory service in

such unit, and such failure is not excused under such regulations,

his commission may be revoked by such Secretary.

(3) Nothing in this subsection shall be deemed to preclude the

President from providing, by regulations prescribed under

subsection (h) of this section, for the deferment from training and

service of any category or categories of students for such periods

of time as he may deem appropriate.

(4) Omitted.

(5) Notwithstanding paragraph (1), upon the successful completion

by any person of the required course of instruction under any

Reserve Officers' Training Corps program listed in clause (A) of

the first sentence of paragraph (1) and subject to the approval of

the Secretary of the military department having jurisdiction over

him, such person may, without being relieved of his obligation

under that sentence, be tendered, and accept, a commission in the

National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration instead of a

commission in the appropriate reserve component of the Armed

Forces. If he does not serve on active duty as a commissioned

officer of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration for

at least six years, he shall, upon discharge therefrom, be tendered

a commission in the appropriate reserve component of the Armed

Forces, if he is otherwise qualified for such appointment, and, in

fulfillment of his obligation under the first sentence of paragraph

(1), remain a member of a reserve component until the sixth

anniversary of the receipt of his commission in the National

Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. While a member of a reserve

component he may, in addition to as otherwise provided by law, be

ordered to active duty for such period that, when added to the

period he served on active duty as a commissioned officer of the

National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, equals two years.

(e) Fully qualified and accepted aviation cadet applicants of the

Army, Navy, or Air Force who have signed an agreement of service

shall, in such numbers as may be designated by the Secretary of

Defense, be deferred, during the period covered by the agreement

but not to exceed four months, from induction for training and

service under this title [sections 451 to 471a of this Appendix]

but shall not be exempt from registration.

(f) The Vice President of the United States; the governors of the

several States, Territories, and possessions, and all other

officials chosen by the voters of the entire State, Territory, or

possession; members of the legislative bodies of the United States

and of the several States, Territories, and possessions; judges of

the courts of record of the United States and of the several

States, Territories, possessions, and the District of Columbia

shall, while holding such offices, be deferred from training and

service under this title [sections 451 to 471a of this Appendix] in

the armed forces of the United States.

(g)(1) Regular or duly ordained ministers of religion, as defined

in this title [sections 451 to 471a of this Appendix], shall be

exempt from training and service, but not from registration, under

this title [said sections].

(2) Students preparing for the ministry under the direction of

recognized churches or religious organizations, who are

satisfactorily pursuing full-time courses of instruction in

recognized theological or divinity schools, or who are

satisfactorily pursuing full-time courses of instruction leading to

their entrance into recognized theological or divinity schools in

which they have been preenrolled, shall be deferred from training

and service, but not from registration, under this title [sections

451 to 471a of this Appendix]. Persons who are or may be deferred

under the provisions of this subsection shall remain liable for

training and service in the Armed Forces under the provisions of

section 4(a) of this Act [section 454(a) of this Appendix] until

the thirty-fifth anniversary of the date of their birth. The

foregoing sentence shall not be construed to prevent the exemption

or continued deferment of such persons if otherwise exempted or

deferrable under any other provision of this Act.

(h) Except as otherwise provided in this subsection the President

is authorized, under such rules and regulations as he may

prescribe, to provide for the deferment from training and service

in the Armed Forces of any or all categories of persons whose

employment in industry, agriculture, or other occupations or

employment, or whose continued service in an Office (other than an

Office described in subsection (f)) under the United States or any

State, territory, or possession, or the District of Columbia, or

whose activity in study, research, or medical, dental, veterinary,

optometric, osteopathic, scientific, pharmaceutical, chiropractic,

chiropodial, or other endeavors is found to be necessary to the

maintenance of the national health, safety, or interest: Provided,

That no person within any such category shall be deferred except

upon the basis of his individual status: Provided further, That

persons who are or may be deferred under the provisions of this

section shall remain liable for training and service in the Armed

Forces under the provisions of section 4(a) of this Act [section

454(a) of this Appendix] until the thirty-fifth anniversary of the

date of their birth. This proviso shall not be construed to prevent

the continued deferment of such persons if otherwise deferrable

under any other provisions of this Act. The President is also

authorized, under such rules and regulations as he may prescribe,

to provide for the deferment from training and service in the Armed

Forces (1) of any or all categories of persons in a status with

respect to persons (other than wives alone, except in cases of

extreme hardship) dependent upon them for support which renders

their deferment advisable, and (2) of any or all categories of

those persons found to be physically, mentally, or morally

deficient or defective. For the purpose of determining whether or

not the deferment of any person is advisable, because of his status

with respect to persons dependent upon him for support, any

payments of allowances which are payable by the United States to

the dependents of persons serving in the Armed Forces of the United

States shall be taken into consideration, but the fact that such

payments of allowances are payable shall not be deemed conclusively

to remove the grounds for deferment when the dependency is based

upon financial considerations and shall not be deemed to remove the

ground for deferment when the dependency is based upon other than

financial considerations and cannot be eliminated by financial

assistance to the dependents. Except as otherwise provided in this

subsection, the President is also authorized, under such rules and

regulations as he may prescribe, to provide for the deferment from

training and service in the Armed Forces of any or all categories

of persons who have children, or wives and children, with whom they

maintain a bona fide family relationship in their homes. No

deferment from such training and service in the Armed Forces shall

be made in the case of any individual except upon the basis of the

status of such individual. There shall be posted in a conspicuous

place at the office of each local board a list setting forth the

names and classifications of those persons who have been classified

by such local board. The President may, in carrying out the

provisions of this title [sections 451 to 471a of this Appendix],

recommend criteria for the classification of persons subject to

induction under this title [said sections], and to the extent that

such action is determined by the President to be consistent with

the national interest, recommend that such criteria be administered

uniformly throughout the United States whenever practicable; except

that no local board, appeal board, or other agency of appeal of the

Selective Service System shall be required to postpone or defer any

person by reason of his activity in study, research, or medical,

dental, veterinary, optometric, osteopathic, scientific,

pharmaceutical, chiropractic, chiropodial, or other endeavors found

to be necessary to the maintenance of the national health, safety,

or interest solely on the basis of any test, examination, selection

system, class standing, or any other means conducted, sponsored,

administered, or prepared by any agency or department of the

Federal Government, or any private institution, corporation,

association, partnership, or individual employed by an agency or

department of the Federal Government.

(i)(1) Any person who is satisfactorily pursuing a full-time

course of instruction at a high school or similar institution of

learning and is issued an order for induction shall, upon the facts

being presented to the local board, have his induction postponed

(A) until the time of his graduation therefrom, or (B) until he

attains the twentieth anniversary of his birth, or (C) until he

ceases satisfactorily to pursue such course of instruction,

whichever is the earliest. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence,

any person who attains the twentieth anniversary of his birth after

beginning his last academic year of high school shall have his

induction postponed until the end of that academic year if and so

long as he continues to pursue satisfactorily a full-time course of

instruction.

(2) Any person who while satisfactorily pursuing a full-time

course of instruction at a college, university, or similar

institution is ordered to report for induction under this title

[sections 451 to 471a of this Appendix], shall, upon the

appropriate facts being presented to the local board, have his

induction postponed (A) until the end of the semester or term, or

academic year in the case of his last academic year, or (B) until

he ceases satisfactorily to pursue such course of instruction,

whichever is the earlier.

(j) Nothing contained in this title [sections 451 to 471a of this

Appendix] shall be construed to require any person to be subject to

combatant training and service in the armed forces of the United

States who, by reason of religious training and belief, is

conscientiously opposed to participation in war in any form. As

used in this subsection, the term "religious training and belief"

does not include essentially political, sociological, or

philosophical views, or a merely personal moral code. Any person

claiming exemption from combatant training and service because of

such conscientious objections whose claim is sustained by the local

board shall, if he is inducted into the armed forces under this

title [said sections], be assigned to noncombatant service as

defined by the President, or shall, if he is found to be

conscientiously opposed to participation in such noncombatant

service, in lieu of such induction, be ordered by his local board,

subject to such regulations as the President may prescribe, to

perform for a period equal to the period prescribed in section 4(b)

[section 454(b) of this Appendix] such civilian work contributing

to the maintenance of the national health, safety, or interest as

the Director may deem appropriate and any such person who knowingly

fails or neglects to obey any such order from his local board shall

be deemed, for the purposes of section 12 of this title [section

462 of this Appendix], to have knowingly failed or neglected to

perform a duty required of him under this title [said sections].The

Director shall be responsible for finding civilian work for persons

exempted from training and service under this subsection and for

the placement of such persons in appropriate civilian work

contributing to the maintenance of the national health, safety, or

interest.

(k) No exception from registration, or exemption or deferment

from training and service, under this title [sections 451 to 471a

of this Appendix], shall continue after the cause therefor ceases

to exist.

(l) Notwithstanding any other provisions of law, no person

between the ages of eighteen and twenty-one shall be discharged

from service in the armed forces of the United States while this

title [sections 451 to 471a of this Appendix] is in effect because

such person entered such service without the consent of his parent

or guardian.

(m) No person shall be relieved from training and service under

this title [sections 451 to 471a of this Appendix] by reason of

conviction of a criminal offense, except where the offense of which

he has been convicted may be punished by death, or by imprisonment

for a term exceeding one year.

(n) In the case of any registrant whose principal place of

employment is located outside the appeal board area in which the

local board having jurisdiction over the registrant is located, any

occupational deferment made under subsection (h) of this section

may, within five days after such deferment is made, be submitted

for review and decision to the appeal board having jurisdiction

over the area in which is located the principal place of employment

of the registrant. Such decision of the appeal board shall be final

unless modified or changed by the President, and such decision

shall be made public.

(o) Except during the period of a war or a national emergency

declared by Congress, no person may be inducted for training and

service under this title [sections 451 to 471a of this Appendix]

unless he volunteers for such induction -

(1) if the father or the mother or a brother or a sister of

such person was killed in action or died in line of duty while

serving in the Armed Forces after December 31, 1959, or died

subsequent to such date as a result of injuries received or

disease incurred in line of duty during such service, or

(2) during any period of time in which the father or the mother

or a brother or a sister of such person is in a captured or

missing status as a result of such service.

As used in this subsection, the term "brother" or "sister" means a

brother of the whole blood or a sister of the whole blood, as the

case may be.

MILITARY SELECTIVE SERVICE ACT

ACT JUNE 24, 1948, CH. 625, 62 STAT. 604

-HEAD-

Sec. 460. Selective Service System

-STATUTE-

(a) Establishment; construction; appointment of Director;

termination and reestablishment of Office of Selective Service

Records

(1) There is established in the executive branch of the

Government an agency to be known as the Selective Service System,

and a Director of Selective Service who shall be the head thereof.

(2) The Selective Service System shall include a national

headquarters, at least one State headquarters in each State,

Territory, and possession of the United States, and in the District

of Columbia, and the local boards, appeal boards, and other

agencies provided for in subsection (b)(3) of this section.

(3) The Director shall be appointed by the President, by and with

the advice and consent of the Senate.

(4) The functions of the Office of Selective Service Records

(established by the Act of March 31, 1947 [sections 321 to 329 of

this Appendix]) and of the Director of the Office of Selective

Service Records are transferred to the Selective Service System and

the Director of Selective Service, respectively. The personnel,

property, records, and unexpended balances (available or to be made

available) of appropriations, allocations, and other funds of the

Office of Selective Service Records are transferred to the

Selective Service System. The Office of Selective Service Records

shall cease to exist upon the taking effect of the provisions of

this title [sections 451 to 471a of this Appendix]: Provided, That,

effective upon the termination of this title [said sections] and

notwithstanding such termination in other respects, (A) the said

Office of Selective Service Records is reestablished on the same

basis and with the same functions as obtained prior to the

effective date of this title [June 24, 1948], (B) said

reestablished Office shall be responsible for liquidating any other

outstanding affairs of the Selective Service System, and (C) the

personnel, property, records, and unexpended balances (available or

to be made available) of appropriations, allocations, and other

funds of the Selective Service System shall be transferred to such

reestablished Office of Selective Service Records.

(b) Administrative provisions

The President is authorized to undertake the following:

(1) To prescribe the necessary rules and regulations to carry

out the provisions of this title [sections 451 to 471a of this

Appendix].

(2) To appoint, upon recommendation of the respective governor

or comparable executive official, a State director of the

Selective Service System for each headquarters in each State,

Territory, and possession of the United States and for the

District of Columbia, who shall represent the governor and be in

immediate charge of the state headquarters of the Selective

Service System: Provided, That no State director shall serve

concurrently in an elected or appointed position of a State or

local government; to employ such number of civilians, and,

subject to subsection (e), to order to active duty with their

consent and to assign to the Selective Service System such

officers of the selective-service section of the State

headquarters and headquarters detachments and such other officers

of the federally recognized National Guard of the United States

or other armed forces personnel (including personnel of the

reserve components thereof), as may be necessary for the

administration of the national and of the several State

headquarters of the Selective Service System.

(3) To create and establish within the Selective Service System

civilian local boards, civilian appeal boards, and such other

civilian agencies, including agencies of appeal, as may be

necessary to carry out its functions with respect to the

registration, examination, classification, selection, assignment,

delivery for induction, and maintenance of records of persons

registered under this title [sections 451 to 471a of this

Appendix], together with such other duties as may be assigned

under this title [said sections]: Provided, That no person shall

be disqualified from serving as a counselor to registrants,

including service as Government appeal agent, because of his

membership in a Reserve component of the Armed Forces. He shall

create and establish one or more local boards in each county or

political subdivision corresponding thereto of each State,

territory, and possession of the United States, and in the

District of Columbia. The local board and/or its staff shall

perform their official duties only within the county or political

subdivision corresponding thereto for which the local board is

established, or in the case of an intercounty board, within the

area for which such board is established, except that the staffs

of local boards in more than one county of a State or comparable

jurisdiction may be collocated or one staff may serve local

boards in more than one county of a State or comparable

jurisdiction when such action is approved by the Governor or

comparable executive official or officials. Each local board

shall consist of three or more members to be appointed by the

President from recommendations made by the respective Governors

or comparable executive officials. In making such appointments

after the date of the enactment of the Act enacting this sentence

[Sept. 28, 1971], the President is requested to appoint the

membership of each local board so that to the maximum extent

practicable it is proportionately representative of the race and

national origin of those registrants within its jurisdiction, but

no action by any local board shall be declared invalid on the

ground that any board failed to conform to any particular quota

as to race or national origin. No citizen shall be denied

membership on any local board or appeal board on account of sex.

After December 31, 1971, no person shall serve on any local board

or appeal board who has served on any local board or appeal board

for a period of more than 20 years. Notwithstanding any other

provision of this paragraph, an intercounty local board

consisting of at least one member from each component county or

corresponding subdivision may, with the approval of the Governor

or comparable executive official or officials, be established for

an area not exceeding five counties or political subdivisions

corresponding thereto within a State or comparable jurisdiction

when the President determines, after considering the public

interest involved, that the establishment of such local board

area will result in a more efficient and economical operation.

Any such intercounty local board shall have within its area the

same power and jurisdiction as a local board has in its area. A

local board may include among its members any citizen otherwise

qualified under Presidential regulations, provided he is at least

eighteen years of age. No member of any local board shall be a

member of the Armed Forces of the United States, but each member

of any local board shall be a civilian who is a citizen of the

United States residing in the county or political subdivision

corresponding thereto in which such local board has jurisdiction,

and each intercounty local board shall have at least one member

from each county or political subdivision corresponding thereto

included within the intercounty local board area. Such local

boards, or separate panels thereof each consisting of three or

more members, shall, under rules and regulations prescribed by

the President, have the power within the respective jurisdictions

of such local boards to hear and determine, subject to the right

of appeal to the appeal boards herein authorized, all questions

or claims with respect to inclusion for, or exemption or

deferment from, training and service under this title [said

sections], of all individuals within the jurisdiction of such

local boards. The decisions of such local board shall be final,

except where an appeal is authorized and is taken in accordance

with such rules and regulations as the President may prescribe.

There shall be not less than one appeal board located within the

area of each Federal judicial district in the United States and

within each Territory and possession of the United States, and

such additional separate panels thereof, as may be prescribed by

the President. Appeal boards within the Selective Service System

shall be composed of civilians who are citizens of the United

States and who are not members of the armed forces. The decision

of such appeal boards shall be final in cases before them on

appeal unless modified or changed by the President. The

President, upon appeal or upon his own motion, shall have power

to determine all claims or questions with respect to inclusion

for, or exemption or deferment from training and service under

this title [said sections], and the determination of the

President shall be final. No judicial review shall be made of the

classification or processing of any registrant by local boards,

appeal boards, or the President, except as a defense to a

criminal prosecution instituted under section 12 of this title

[section 462 of this Appendix], after the registrant has

responded either affirmatively or negatively to an order to

report for induction or for civilian work in the case of a

registrant determined to be opposed to participation in war in

any form: Provided, That such review shall go to the question of

the jurisdiction herein reserved to local boards, appeal boards,

and the President only when there is no basis in fact for the

classification assigned to such registrant. No person who is a

civilian officer, member, agent, or employee of the Office of

Selective Service Records or the Selective Service System, or of

any local board or appeal board or other agency of such Officer

or system, shall be excepted from registration or deferred or

exempted from training and service, as provided for in this title

[said sections], by reason of his status as such civilian

officer, member, agent, or employee.

(4) To appoint, and to fix, in accordance with the provisions

of chapter 51 and subchapter III of chapter 53 of title 5, United

States Code, relating to classification and General Schedule pay

rates, the basic pay of such officers, agents, and employees as

he may deem necessary to carry out the provisions of this title

[sections 451 to 471a of this Appendix], however, any officer of

the armed forces or any officer or employee of any department or

agency of the United States who may be assigned or detailed to

any office or position to carry out the provisions of this title

[said sections] (except to offices or positions on local boards

or appeal boards established or created pursuant to section

10(b)(3) [subsection (b)(3) of this section]) may serve in and

perform the functions of such office or position without loss of

or prejudice to his status as such officer in the armed forces or

as such officer or employee in any department or agency of the

United States.

and all officers or agents of the United States, and to accept

Territories, and possessions, and subdivisions thereof, and the

Appendix].

from public, commercial, or private printing establishments or

binderies upon orders placed by the Public Printer or upon

the Selective Service System, as he may deem necessary to carry

out the provisions of this title [sections 451 to 471a of this

Appendix], with or without advertising or formal contract.

(7) To prescribe eligibility, rules, and regulations governing

the release for service in the armed forces, or for any other

to 471a of this Appendix], of any person convicted of a violation

of any of the provisions of this title [said sections].

purpose, to procure such space as he may deem necessary to carry

Appendix] and the Act of March 31, 1947 (50 U.S.C. App. 321 et

seq.).

remodeling of existing structures and installations), as may be

necessary to carry out the provisions of this title [sections 451

to 471a of this Appendix]; and, in order to accomplish the

purpose of this title [said sections], to acquire lands, and

rights pertaining thereto, or other interests therein, for

temporary use thereof, by donation or lease, and to prosecute

construction thereon prior to the approval of the title [said

sections] by the Attorney General as required by sections 3111

and 3112 of title 40.

Appendix], such personnel of the armed forces and of Reserve

components thereof with their consent, and such civilian

Proc. No. 4313, Sept. 16, 1974, 39 F.R. 33293, 88 Stat. 2504, as

amended by Proc. No. 4345, Jan. 30, 1975, 40 F.R. 4893, 89 Stat.

1236; Proc. No. 4353, Feb. 28, 1975, 40 F.R. 8931, 10433, 89 Stat.

1246, provided:

The United States withdrew the last of its forces from the

Republic of Vietnam on March 28, 1973.

In the period of its involvement in armed hostilities in

Southeast Asia, the United States suffered great losses. Millions

served their country, thousands died in combat, thousands more were

wounded, others are still listed as missing in action.

Over a year after the last American combatant had left Vietnam,

the status of thousands of our countrymen - convicted, charged,

investigated or still sought for violations of the Military

Selective Service Act [see References in Text note set out under

section 451 of this Appendix] or of the Uniform Code of Military

Justice [10 U.S.C. 801 et seq.] - remains unresolved.

In furtherance of our national commitment to justice and mercy

these young Americans should have the chance to contribute a share

to the rebuilding of peace among ourselves and with all nations.

They should be allowed the opportunity to earn return to their

country, their communities, and their families, upon their

agreement to a period of alternate service in the national

interest, together with an acknowledgment of their allegiance to

the country and its Constitution.

Desertion in time of war is a major, serious offense; failure to

respond to the country's call for duty is also a serious offense.

Reconciliation among our people does not require that these acts be

condoned. Yet, reconciliation calls for an act of mercy to bind the

Nation's wounds and to heal the scars of divisiveness.

NOW, THEREFORE, I, GERALD R. FORD, President of the United

States, pursuant to my powers under Article II, Sections 1, 2 and 3

of the Constitution, do hereby proclaim a program to commence

immediately to afford reconciliation to Vietnam era draft evaders

and military deserters upon the following terms and conditions:

1. Draft Evaders - An individual who allegedly unlawfully failed

under the Military Selective Service Act [see References in Text

note set out under section 451 of this Appendix] or any rule or

regulation promulgated thereunder, to register or register on time,

to keep the local board informed of his current address, to report

for or submit to preinduction or induction examination, to report

for or submit to induction itself, or to report for or submit to,

or complete service under section 6(j) of such Act [section 456(j)

of this Appendix] during the period from August 4, 1964 to March

28, 1973, inclusive, and who has not been adjudged guilty in a

trial for such offense, will be relieved of prosecution and

punishment for such offense if he:

(i) presents himself to a United States Attorney before March

31, 1975,

(ii) executes an agreement acknowledging his allegiance to the

United States and pledging to fulfill a period of alternate

service under the auspices of the Director of Selective Service,

and

(iii) satisfactorily completes such service.

The alternate service shall promote the national health, safety, or

interest. No draft evader will be given the privilege of completing

a period of alternate service by service in the Armed Forces.

However, this program will not apply to an individual who is

precluded from re-entering the United States under 8 U.S.C.

1182(a)(22) or other law. Additionally, if individuals eligible for

this program have other criminal charges outstanding, their

participation in the program may be conditioned upon, or postponed

until after, final disposition of the other charges has been

reached in accordance with law.

The period of service shall be twenty-four months, which may be

reduced by the Attorney General because of mitigating

circumstances.

2. Military Deserters - A member of the armed forces who has been

administratively classified as a deserter by reason of unauthorized

absence and whose absence commenced during the period from August

4, 1964 to March 28, 1973, inclusive, will be relieved of

prosecution and punishment under Articles 85, 86 and 87 of the

Uniform Code of Military Justice [10 U.S.C. 885, 886, 887] for such

absence and for offenses directly related thereto if before March

31, 1975 he takes an oath of allegiance to the United States and

executes an agreement with the Secretary of the Military Department

from which he absented himself or for members of the Coast Guard,

with the Secretary of Transportation, pledging to fulfill a period

of alternate service under the auspices of the Director of

Selective Service. The alternate service shall promote the national

health, safety, or interest.

The period of service shall be twenty-four months, which may be

reduced by the Secretary of the appropriate Military Department, or

Secretary of Transportation for members of the Coast Guard, because

of mitigating circumstances.

However, if a member of the armed forces has additional

outstanding charges pending against him under the Uniform Code of

Military Justice [10 U.S.C. 801 et seq.], his eligibility to

participate in this program may be conditioned upon, or postponed

until after, final disposition of the additional charges has been

reached in accordance with law.

Each member of the armed forces who elects to seek relief through

this program will receive an undesirable discharge. Thereafter,

upon satisfactory completion of a period of alternate service

prescribed by the Military Department or Department of

Transportation, such individual will be entitled to receive, in

lieu of his undesirable discharge, a clemency discharge in

recognition of his fulfillment of the requirements of the program.

Such clemency discharge shall not bestow entitlement to benefits

administered by the Veterans Administration.

Procedures of the Military Departments implementing this

Proclamation will be in accordance with guidelines established by

the Secretary of Defense, present Military Department regulations

notwithstanding.

3. Presidential Clemency Board - By Executive Order I have this

date established a Presidential Clemency Board which will review

the records of individuals within the following categories: (i)

those who have been convicted of draft evasion offenses as

described above, (ii) those who have received a punitive or

undesirable discharge from service in the armed forces for having

violated Article 85, 86, or 87 of the Uniform Code of Military

Justice [10 U.S.C. 885, 886, 887] between August 4, 1964 and March

28, 1973, or are serving sentences of confinement for such

violations. Where appropriate, the Board may recommend that

clemency be conditioned upon completion of a period of alternate

service. However, if any clemency discharge is recommended, such

discharge shall not bestow entitlement to benefits administered by

the Veterans Administration.

4. Alternate Service - In prescribing the length of alternate

service in individual cases, the Attorney General, the Secretary of

the appropriate Department, or the Clemency Board shall take into

account such honorable service as an individual may have rendered

prior to his absence, penalties already paid under law, and such

other mitigating factors as may be appropriate to seek equity among

those who participate in this program.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this sixteenth

day of September in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred

seventy-four, and of the Independence of the United States of

America the one hundred and ninety-nineth.

Gerald R. Ford.

any rule or regulation promulgated thereunder, in connection with

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this 21st day of

January, in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred and

seventy-seven, and of the Independence of the United States of

America the two hundred and first.

Jimmy Carter.

the Government, it is ordered as follows:

Section 1. There is hereby established in the Executive Office of

the President a board of 9 members, which shall be known as the

The President may appoint such additional members to the board as

he shall from time to time determine to be necessary to carry out

its functions.

Sec. 2. The Board, under such regulations as it may prescribe,

shall examine the cases of persons who apply for Executive clemency

(50 App. U.S.C. Sec. 462) [this section and section 456(j) of this

Appendix], or of any rule or regulation promulgated pursuant to

that section, for acts committed between August 4, 1964 and March

28, 1973, inclusive, or (ii) have received punitive or undesirable

discharges as a consequence of violations of Articles 85, 86 or 87

granted a fair share of the orders placed, exclusively for the use

of the armed forces or for other Federal agencies now or hereafter

or private) theretofore or thereafter placed with such person as

the President may prescribe, and (2) to fill such order within the

period of time prescribed by the President or as soon thereafter as

possible.

(c) Failure to give precedence; Government possession

In case any person with whom an order is placed pursuant to the

provisions of subsection (a) of this section refuses or fails -

(1) to give such order such precedence with respect to all

other orders (Government or private) theretofore or thereafter

placed with such person as the President may have prescribed;

(2) to fill such order within the period of time prescribed by

the President or as soon thereafter as possible as determined by

the President;

(3) to produce the kind or quality of articles or materials

ordered; or

(4) to furnish the quantity, kind, and quality of articles or

materials ordered at such price as shall be negotiated between

such person and the Government agency concerned; or in the event

of failure to negotiate a price, to furnish the quantity, kind,

and quality of articles or materials ordered at such price as he

may subsequently be determined to be entitled to receive under

subsection (d);

the President is authorized to take immediate possession of any

plant, mine, or other facility of such person and to operate it,

through any Government agency, for the production of such articles

or materials as may be required by the Government.

under subsection (a) of this section, or (2) as rental for any

plant, mine, or other facility of which possession is taken under

subsection (c).

Nothing contained in this section shall be deemed to render

inapplicable to any plant, mine, or facility of which possession is

taken pursuant to subsection (c) any State or Federal laws

concerning the health, safety, security, or employment standards of

employees.

Any person, or any officer of any person as defined in this

section, who willfully fails or refuses to carry out any duty

imposed upon him by subsection (b) of this section shall be guilty

of a felony and, upon conviction thereof, shall be punished by

imprisonment for not more than three years, or by a fine of not

more than $50,000, or by both such imprisonment and fine.

(g) "Person" and "Government agency" defined

(A) The term "person" means any individual, firm, company,

association, corporation, or other form of business organization.

(B) The term "Government agency" means any department, agency,

independent establishment, or corporation in the Executive branch

of the United States Government.

(2) For the purposes of this section, a plant, mine, or other

facility shall be deemed capable of producing any articles or

materials if it is then producing or furnishing such articles or

materials or if the President after consultation with and receiving

advice from the National Security Resources Board determines that

it can be readily converted to the production or furnishing of such

articles or materials.

(h) Rules and regulations governing steel industry; mandatory

The President is empowered, through the Secretary of Defense, to

require all producers of steel in the United States to make

available, to individuals, firms, associations, companies,

corporations, or organized manufacturing industries having orders

for steel products or steel materials required by the armed forces,

such percentages of the steel production of such producers, in

equal proportion deemed necessary for the expeditious execution of

orders for such products or materials. Compliance with such

requirement shall be obligatory on all such producers of steel and

such requirement shall take precedence over all orders and

contracts theretofore placed with such producers. If any such

producer of steel or the responsible head or heads thereof refuses

to comply with such requirement, the President, through the

Secretary of Defense, is authorized to take immediate possession of

the plant or plants of such producer and, through the appropriate

branch, bureau, or department of the armed forces, to insure

compliance with such requirement. Any such producer of steel or the

responsible head or heads thereof refusing to comply with such

requirement shall be deemed guilty of a felony and upon conviction

thereof shall be punished by imprisonment for not more than three

years and a fine not exceeding $50,000.

military department concerned, any member of the inactive or

volunteer reserve who served on active duty for a period of 12

months or more in any branch of the Armed Forces between the period

December 7, 1941, and September 2, 1945, inclusive, who is now or

may hereafter be ordered to active duty pursuant to this section,

concerned to be critical and whose release to inactive duty prior

to the period for which he was ordered to active duty would impair

the efficiency of the military department concerned.

The President may retain the unit organizations and the equipment

thereof, exclusive of the individual members thereof, in the active

Federal service for a total period of five consecutive years, and

upon being relieved by the appropriate Secretary from active

Federal service, National Guard, or Air National Guard units,

Sec. 520. Default judgments; affidavits; bonds; attorneys for

persons in service

-STATUTE-

(1) In any action or proceeding commenced in any court, if there

shall be a default of any appearance by the defendant, the

plaintiff, before entering judgment shall file in the court an

affidavit setting forth facts showing that the defendant is not in

military service. If unable to file such affidavit plaintiff shall

in lieu thereof file an affidavit setting forth either that the

defendant is in the military service or that plaintiff is not able

to determine whether or not defendant is in such service. If an

affidavit is not filed showing that the defendant is not in the

military service, no judgment shall be entered without first

securing an order of court directing such entry, and no such order

shall be made if the defendant is in such service until after the

court shall have appointed an attorney to represent defendant and

protect his interest, and the court shall on application make such

appointment. Unless it appears that the defendant is not in such

service the court may require, as a condition before judgment is

entered, that the plaintiff file a bond approved by the court

conditioned to indemnify the defendant, if in military service,

against any loss or damage that he may suffer by reason of any

judgment should the judgment be thereafter set aside in whole or in

part. And the court may make such other and further order or enter

such judgment as in its opinion may be necessary to protect the

rights of the defendant under this Act [sections 501 to 593 of this

Appendix]. Whenever, under the laws applicable with respect to any

court, facts may be evidenced, established, or proved by an unsworn

statement, declaration, verification, or certificate, in writing,

subscribed and certified or declared to be true under penalty of

perjury, the filing of such an unsworn statement, declaration,

verification, or certificate shall satisfy the requirement of this

subsection that facts be established by affidavit.

(2) Any person who shall make or use an affidavit required under

this section, or a statement, declaration, verification, or

certificate certified or declared to be true under penalty of

perjury permitted under subsection (1), knowing it to be false,

shall be guilty of a misdemeanor and shall be punishable by

imprisonment not to exceed one year or by fine not to exceed

$1,000, or both.

(3) In any action or proceeding in which a person in military

service is a party if such party does not personally appear therein

or is not represented by an authorized attorney, the court may

appoint an attorney to represent him; and in such case a like bond

may be required and an order made to protect the rights of such

person. But no attorney appointed under this Act [sections 501 to

593 of this Appendix], to protect a person in military service

shall have power to waive any right of the person for whom he is

appointed or bind him by his acts.

(4) If any judgment shall be rendered in any action or proceeding

governed by this section against any person in military service

during the period of such service or within thirty days thereafter,

and it appears that such person was prejudiced by reason of his

military service in making his defense thereto, such judgment may,

upon application, made by such person or his legal representative,

not later than ninety days after the termination of such service,

be opened by the court rendering the same and such defendant or his

legal representative let in to defend; provided it is made to

appear that the defendant has a meritorious or legal defense to the

action or some part thereof. Vacating, setting aside, or reversing

any judgment because of any of the provisions of this Act [said

sections], shall not impair any right or title acquired by any bona

fide purchaser for value under such judgment.

(a) No eviction or distress shall be made during the period of

military service in respect of any premises for which the agreed

person in military service, except upon leave of court granted upon

application therefor or granted in an action or proceeding

the agreed rent is not materially affected by reason of such

military service, stay the proceedings for not longer than three

months, as provided in this Act [sections 501 to 593 of this

Appendix], or it may make such other order as may be just. Where

such stay is granted or other order is made by the court, the owner

of the premises shall be entitled, upon application therefor, to

relief in respect of such premises similar to that granted persons

in military service in sections 301, 302, and 500 of this Act

distress otherwise than as provided in subsection (a), or attempts

so to do, shall be fined as provided in title 18, United States

Code, or imprisoned for not to exceed one year, or both.

Sec. 534. Termination of leases by lessees

-STATUTE-

(1) The provisions of this section shall apply to any lease

covering premises occupied for dwelling, professional, business,

agricultural, or similar purposes in any case in which (a) such

lease was executed by or on the behalf of a person who, after the

execution of such lease, entered military service, and (b) the

premises so leased have been occupied for such purposes, or for a

combination of such purposes, by such person or by him and his

dependents.

(2) Any such lease may be terminated by notice in writing

delivered to the lessor (or his grantee) or to the lessor's (or his

grantee's) agent by the lessee at any time following the date of

the beginning of his period of military service. Delivery of such

notice may be accomplished by placing it in an envelope properly

stamped and duly addressed to the lessor (or his grantee) or to the

lessor's (or his grantee's) agent and depositing the notice in the

United States mails. Termination of any such lease providing for

monthly payment of rent shall not be effective until thirty days

after the first date on which the next rental payment is due and

payable subsequent to the date when such notice is delivered or

mailed. In the case of all other leases, termination shall be

effected on the last day of the month following the month in which

such notice is delivered or mailed and in such case any unpaid

rental for a period preceding termination shall be proratably

computed and any rental paid in advance for a period succeeding

termination shall be refunded by the lessor (or his assignee). Upon

application by the lessor to the appropriate court prior to the

termination period provided for in the notice, any relief granted

in this subsection shall be subject to such modifications or

restrictions as in the opinion of the court justice and equity may

in the circumstances require.

(3) Any person who shall knowingly seize, hold, or detain the

personal effects, clothing, furniture, or other property of any

person who has lawfully terminated a lease covered by this section,

or in any manner interfere with the removal of such property from

the premises covered by such lease, for the purpose of subjecting

or attempting to subject any of such property to a claim for rent

accruing subsequent to the date of termination of such lease, or

Sec. 535. Protection of assignor of life insurance policy;

enforcement of storage liens; penalties

-STATUTE-

(1) Where any life insurance policy on the life of a person in

military service has been assigned prior to such person's period of

military service to secure the payment of any obligation of such

person, no assignee of such policy (except the insurer in

connection with a policy loan) shall, during the period of military

service of the insured or within one year thereafter, except upon

the consent in writing of the insured made during such period or

when the premiums thereon are due and unpaid or upon the death of

the insured, exercise any right or option by virtue of such

assignment unless upon leave of court granted upon an application

made therefor by such assignee. The court may thereupon refuse to

grant such leave unless in the opinion of the court the ability of

the obligor to comply with the terms of the obligation is not

materially affected by reason of his military service. For the

purpose of this subsection premiums which are guaranteed under the

provisions of article IV of this Act [sections 540 to 548 of this

Appendix] shall not be deemed to be due and unpaid.

(2) No person shall exercise any right to foreclose or enforce

any lien for storage of household goods, furniture, or personal

effects of a person in military service during such person's period

of military service and for three months thereafter except upon an

order previously granted by a court upon application therefor and a

return thereto made and approved by the court. In such proceeding

the court may, after hearing, in its discretion, on its own motion,

and shall, on application to it by such person in military service

or some person on his behalf, unless in the opinion of the court

the ability of the defendant to pay the storage charges due is not

materially affected by reason of his military service -

(a) stay the proceedings as provided in this Act [sections 501

to 593 of this Appendix]; or

(b) make such other disposition of the case as may be equitable

to conserve the interest of all parties.

The enactment of the provisions of this subsection shall not be

construed in any way as affecting or as limiting the scope of

section 302 of this Act [section 532 of this Appendix].

the provisions of this section, or attempts so to do, shall be

fined as provided in title 18, United States Code, or imprisoned

redeem such property, at any time not later than six months after

the termination of such service, but in no case later than six

months after the date when this Act [said sections] ceases to be in

such tax or assessment due and unpaid shall bear interest until

paid at the rate of 6 per centum per annum, and no other penalty or

interest shall be incurred by reason of such nonpayment. Any lien

for such unpaid taxes or assessment shall also include such

-STATUTE-

If any person whose application for a homestead entry has been

allowed or who has made application for homestead entry which may

thereafter be allowed, after such entry or application enters

military service, or if any person who has a valid settlement claim

enters military service, the Department of the Interior shall

construe his military service to be equivalent to residence and

cultivation upon the tract entered or settled upon for the period

of such service. From the effective date of this Act [Oct. 17,

1940] no contest shall be initiated on the ground of abandonment

and no allegation of abandonment shall be sustained against any

such person, unless it shall be alleged in the preliminary

affidavit or affidavits of contest and proved at the hearing in

cases initiated subsequent to the effective date of this Act [Oct.

17, 1940] that the alleged absence from the land was not due to

such military service. If such person is discharged on account of

wounds received or disability incurred in the line of duty, the

term of his enlistment and any period of hospitalization due to

such wounds or disability shall be deducted from the required

length of residence, without reference to the time of actual

service. No patent shall issue to any such person who has not

resided upon, improved, and cultivated his homestead for a period

of at least one year.

-STATUTE-

(1) For the purposes of taxation in respect of any person, or of

foregoing, or by the District of Columbia, such person shall not be

deemed to have lost a residence or domicile in any State,

Territory, possession, or political subdivision of any of the

foregoing, or in the District of Columbia, solely by reason of

being absent therefrom in compliance with military or naval orders,

or to have acquired a residence or domicile in, or to have become

resident in or a resident of, any other State, Territory,

possession, or political subdivision of any of the foregoing, or

the District of Columbia, while, and solely by reason of being, so

absent. For the purposes of taxation in respect of the personal

property, income, or gross income of any such person by any State,

Territory, possession, or political subdivision of any of the

foregoing, or the District of Columbia, of which such person is not

a resident or in which he is not domiciled, compensation for

performed within, or from sources within, such State, Territory,

possession, political subdivision, or District, and personal

property shall not be deemed to be located or present in or to have

a situs for taxation in such State, Territory, possession, or

political subdivision, or district. Where the owner of personal

property is absent from his residence or domicile solely by reason

of compliance with military or naval orders, this section applies

with respect to personal property, or the use thereof, within any

tax jurisdiction other than such place of residence or domicile,

regardless of where the owner may be serving in compliance with

such orders. Nothing contained in this section shall prevent

taxation by any State, Territory, possession, or political

subdivision of any of the foregoing, or the District of Columbia in

respect of personal property used in or arising from a trade or

business, if it otherwise has jurisdiction. This section shall be

effective as of September 8, 1939, except that it shall not require

the crediting or refunding of any tax paid prior to October 6,

1942.

shall include tangible and intangible property (including motor

vehicles), and (b) the term "taxation" shall include but not be

limited to licenses, fees, or excises imposed in respect to motor

vehicles or the use thereof, but only if a license, fee, or excise

required by the State or territory, possession, or District of

Columbia of which the person is a resident or in which the person

is domiciled has been paid.

relief in respect of any obligation or liability incurred by such

person prior to his period of military service or in respect of any

tax or assessment whether falling due prior to or during his period

hearing, unless in its opinion the ability of the applicant to

comply with the terms of such obligation or liability or to pay

such tax or assessment has not been materially affected by reason

of his military service, may grant the following relief:

(a) In the case of an obligation payable under its terms in

installments under a contract for the purchase of real estate, or

secured by a mortgage or other instrument in the nature of a

mortgage upon real estate, a stay of the enforcement of such

obligation during the applicant's period of military service and,

from the date of termination of such period of military service or

period equal to the period of the remaining life of the installment

contract or other instrument plus a period of time equal to the

period of military service of the applicant or any part of such

combined period, subject to payment of the balance of principal and

accumulated interest due and unpaid at the date of termination of

the period of military service or from the date of application, as

the case may be, in equal installments during such combined period

at such rate of interest on the unpaid balance as is prescribed in

such contract, or other instrument evidencing the obligation, for

installments paid when due, and subject to such other terms as may

be just.

(b) In the case of any other obligation, liability, tax, or

assessment, a stay of the enforcement thereof during the

applicant's period of military service and, from the date of

termination of such period of military service or from the date of

application if made after such service, for a period of time equal

to the period of military service of the applicant or any part of

such period, subject to payment of the balance of principal and

accumulated interest due and unpaid at the date of termination of

such period of military service or the date of application, as the

case may be, in equal periodic installments during such extended

period at such rate of interest as may be prescribed for such

obligation, liability, tax, or assessment, if paid when due, and

subject to such other terms as may be just.

(2) When any court has granted a stay as provided in this section

no fine or penalty shall accrue during the period the terms and

conditions of such stay are complied with by reason of failure to

comply with the terms or conditions of the obligation, liability,

tax, or assessment in respect of which such stay was granted.

ARTICLE VII - FURTHER RELIEF

-HEAD-

Sec. 592. Professional liability protection for certain persons

ordered to active duty in armed forces

-STATUTE-

(a) Applicability

This section applies to a person who -

(1) after July 31, 1990, is ordered to active duty (other than

for training) pursuant to section 688, 12301(a), 12301(g), 12302,

12304, 12306, or 12307 of title 10, United States Code, or who is

ordered to active duty under section 12301(d) of such title

during a period when members are on active duty pursuant to any

of the preceding sections; and

(2) immediately before receiving the order to active duty -

(A) was engaged in the furnishing of health-care services or

other services determined by the Secretary of Defense to be

professional services; and

(B) had in effect a professional liability insurance policy

that does not continue to cover claims filed with respect to

such person during the period of the person's active duty

unless the premiums are paid for such coverage for such period.

(b) Suspension of coverage

(1) Coverage of a person referred to in subsection (a) by a

professional liability insurance policy shall be suspended in

accordance with this subsection upon receipt of the written request

of such person by the insurance carrier.

(2) A professional liability insurance carrier -

(A) may not require that premiums be paid by or on behalf of a

person for any professional liability insurance coverage

suspended pursuant to paragraph (1); and

(B) shall refund any amount paid for coverage for the period of

such suspension or, upon the election of such person, apply such

amount for the payment of any premium becoming due upon the

reinstatement of such coverage.

(3) A professional liability insurance carrier shall not be

liable with respect to any claim that is based on professional

conduct (including any failure to take any action in a professional

capacity) of a person that occurs during a period of suspension of

that person's professional liability insurance under this

subsection. For the purposes of the preceding sentence, a claim

based upon the failure of a professional to make adequate provision

for patients to be cared for during the period of the

professional's active duty service shall be considered to be based

on an action or failure to take action before the beginning of the

period of suspension of professional liability insurance under this

subsection, except in a case in which professional services were

provided after the date of the beginning of such period.

(c) Reinstatement of coverage

(1) Professional liability insurance coverage suspended in the

case of any person pursuant to subsection (b) shall be reinstated

by the insurance carrier on the date on which that person transmits

to the insurance carrier a written request for reinstatement.

(2) The request of a person for reinstatement shall be effective

only if the person transmits the request to the insurance carrier

within 30 days after the date on which the person is released from

active duty. The insurance carrier shall notify the person of the

due date for payment of the premium of such insurance. Such premium

shall be paid by the person within 30 days after the receipt of

that notice.

(3) The period for which professional liability insurance

coverage shall be reinstated for a person under this subsection may

not be less than the balance of the period for which coverage would

have continued under the insurance policy if the coverage had not

been suspended.

(d) Increase in premium

An insurance carrier may not increase the amount of the premium

charged for professional liability insurance coverage of any person

for the minimum period of the reinstatement of such coverage

required under subsection (c)(3) to an amount greater than the

amount chargeable for such coverage for such period before the

suspension, except to the extent of any general increase in the

premium amounts charged by that carrier for the same professional

liability coverage for persons similarly covered by such insurance

during the period of the suspension.

(e) Continuation of coverage of unaffected persons

This section does not -

(1) require a suspension of professional liability insurance

coverage for any person who is not a person referred to in

subsection (a) and who is covered by the same professional

liability insurance as a person referred to in such subsection;

or

(2) relieve any person of the obligation to pay premiums for

the coverage not required to be suspended.

(f) Stay of civil or administrative actions

(1) A civil or administrative action for damages on the basis of

the alleged professional negligence or other professional liability

of a person whose professional liability insurance coverage has

been suspended under subsection (b) shall be stayed until the end

of the period of the suspension if -

(A) the action was commenced during that period;

(B) the action is based on an act or omission that occurred

before the date on which the suspension became effective; and

(C) the suspended professional liability insurance would,

except for the suspension, on its face cover the alleged

professional negligence or other professional liability

negligence or other professional liability of the person.

(2) Whenever a civil or administrative action for damages is

stayed under paragraph (1) in the case of any person, the action

shall be deemed to have been filed on the date on which the

professional liability insurance coverage of such person is

reinstated under subsection (c).

(g) Effect of suspension upon limitations period

In the case of a civil or administrative action for which a stay

could have been granted under subsection (f) by reason of the

suspension of professional liability insurance coverage of the

defendant under this section, the period of the suspension of the

coverage shall be excluded from the computation of any statutory

period of limitation on the commencement of such action.

(h) Death during period of suspension

If a person whose professional liability insurance coverage is

suspended under subsection (b) dies during the period of the

suspension -

(1) the requirement for the grant or continuance of a stay in

any civil or administrative action against such person under

subsection (f)(1) shall terminate on the date of the death of

such person; and

(2) the carrier of the professional liability insurance so

suspended shall be liable for any claim for damages for

professional negligence or other professional liability of the

deceased person in the same manner and to the same extent as such

carrier would be liable if the person had died while covered by

such insurance but before the claim was filed.
