A RESOLUTION SUPPORTING CONTINUATION OF PEACETIME DRAFT REGISTRATION
WHEREAS, the continuation of the program for peacetime
registration for the Selective Service System contributes to
national readiness by reducing the time required for a full
defense mobilization; and
WHEREAS, over one million United States citizens have sacri-
ficed their lives to protect the rights and freedoms of all
Americans and registration for Selective Service is an integral
part of current preparedness to preserve those rights and
freedoms in the future; and
WHEREAS, more than 96 percent of potential registrants have
registered with the Selective Service System since the resumption
of registration and by so registering have enhanced United Sates
national defense preparedness; and
e
WHEREAS, the Selective Service System has been tasked with
assisting in the process of improving our readiness by calling upon
eighteen year old male citizens to comply with the law by simply
registering their name, address, date of birth and social
security number at the Post Office within thirty days of their
eighteenth birthday.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the Chanhassen City
Council hereby supports continuation of registration with
Selective Service and does hereby declare April, 1986 as
Registration Awareness Month.
Passed and adopted by the Chanhassen City Council this
7th day of April , 1986.
