Each judge has recommended one Democrat and one Republican to serve as an appeal agent for each draft board to be located in his district. Although the appeal agent will have no power to vote, he will sit in on all the meet: ings of the draft board and help interpret the board's duties. He also will advise boards on cases of registrants who wish to be deferred for various reasons.
