SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The bipartisan, 11-member Commission was
created by Congress in the National Defense Authorization Act for
Fiscal Year 2017 to conduct a review of the military selective service
process and to consider methods to increase participation in military,
national, and public service in order to address national security and
other public service needs of the nation. The Commission seeks to
continue the national conversation on the value and importance of
service as it develops recommendations for Congress, the President, and
the American people. The Commission will issue those recommendations in
a final report by March 2020. In 2019, the Commission will hold a
series of public hearings that will include testimony from experts on
various issues within the Commission's mandate. The Commission website
will be updated to include background information and written testimony
from hearing panelists. These public hearings will help inform and vet
policy alternatives that the Commission may consider as it generates
its final report. For each hearing, the Commission will release a staff
memo two weeks in advance outlining the policy options under
consideration. The Commission invites you to visit
www.inspire2serve.gov to review and share your feedback on these memos.
Time will be reserved at the end of each
