to provide information from records kept on men currently
registered with Selective Service. Records for men who were
born before 1960 are available from the National Archives.

provisions of the Privacy Act and will not release a registrant's
home address, phone number, social security number, or any
other protected information without the written consent of
the registrant.
The
following are records that are available and information about
how to obtain them.
