RESOLUTION
86-26
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
sacrificed 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 these 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 States
national defense preparedness; and
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 CINAMANNNdt(XX
