This draft lists several <br />requirements for deferment. The Council discussed several <br />items in the draft. Mr. Reinert felt this is a hard concern <br />to deal with. Mr. Bisel suggested that it is at least an <br />attempt to accomodate those citizens with hardships or <br />special cases.'
