Initially, the highest quality signal was reserved for military use, and the signal available for civilian use was intentionally degraded ( Selective Availability ).

The executive order signed in 1996 to turn off Selective Availability in 2000 was proposed by the US Secretary of Defense, William Perry, because of the widespread growth of differential GPS services to improve civilian accuracy and eliminate the US military advantage.

Geocaching was conceived shortly after the removal of Selective Availability from GPS on May 2, 2000, because the improved accuracy of the system allowed for a small container to be specifically placed and located.

One of the reasons given for developing Galileo as an independent system was that position information from GPS can be made significantly inaccurate by the deliberate application of universal Selective Availability ( SA ) by the US military ; this was enabled until 2000, and can be re-enabled at any time.

He was charged and convicted of violating the Selective Service Act and was jailed ( 1942 – 46 ).

A friend of Williams suggested that Williams see the advisor of the Governor's Selective Service Appeal Agent, since Williams was the sole support of his mother, arguing that Williams should not have been placed in Class 1-A, and said Williams should be reclassified to Class 3-A.

He had been classified 3-A by Selective Service prior to the war, a dependency deferment because he was his mother's sole means of financial support.

Largely under the influence of the Hungarian-born economists Nicholas Kaldor and Thomas Balogh, an idiosyncratic " Selective Employment Tax " ( SET ) was introduced that was designed to tax employment in the service sectors while subsidising employment in manufacturing ( the rationale proposed by its economist authors derived largely from claims about potential economies of scale and technological progress, but Wilson in his memoirs stressed the tax's revenue-raising potential ).

The main point of his budget was the introduction of a Selective Employment Tax, penalising the service industry and favouring the manufacturing industry.
