Rudenstine stressed his own opposition to the ban on the grounds of fairness in general "I have stated my view on this subject on a number of occasions including recent letters to Secretary of Defense Les Aspin and Chairman of the Senate Armed Services Committee, Sen.. Sam Nunn," he said...
...comes to a head, Aspin will face congressional scrutiny on another highly emotional issue. This week the Senate Armed Services Committee will begin hearings on the practical implications of Clinton's proposal to allow gays in the military. The hearings will provide a prominent stage for committee chairman Sam Nunn, who opposes much of Clinton's defense policy, especially on gays. The President stumbled into a faux pas on the issue during a press conference last week when he said, in response to a reporter's question, that he would consider separating members of the military according to sexual orientation...

We've got to get some parliamentary rules that keep...
