	. .. ... Bits for the buggy machine's bit bucket. 

	Our economics professor made the claim that Reagan caused the
	armed forces to be added to the employment pool, thereby causing the
	unemployment rate to drop almost a full point overnight.
	This seems a little suspicious to me; does anyone know if this 
	is true or false or partly true.

This is correct. He did it early '82.
