At 11:45 -0500 on 4/27/1999, Bill Sills mailed Constitution & Public Law:

One more nuance. Both the organized and the unorganized militia are
under government authority. The Constitution vests in the Congress
the power to provide for the training of the militia and its being
called into Federal service. Congress has not exercised training
authority over the unorganized militia, but it has the power to do so.
Thanks for listening.
