The Defense Department has proposed using U.S. Internal Revenue Service data to track down reservists with which they have lost contact.

The measure, which department officials say has been vetted by its lawyers, would allow the Pentagon to access the addresses for tens of thousands of people who still face active-duty recall, the Fort Worth Star-Telegram reported.

Congress and President Bush would have to approve an amendment to the tax code in order legalize the practice.

Lt. Col. Bob Stone, a spokesman for reserve affairs at the Pentagon, said the proposal is unrelated to the military's current troop shortage and has been in development for several years.
