Clinton gay policy hits Congress
The Associated Press
WASHINGTON — The Senate Armed Services Committee chairman served notice yesterday that Congress will have the final say on President Bill Clinton's policy on homosexuals serving in the military.
"Congress will vote on this issue one way or another." Sen. Sam Nunn, D-Ga., said at the start of hearings on the proposal to Aspin and the Joint Chiefs of Staff.
Gen. Colin Powell, staff chairman,
told the committee he was "in full support of the president's policy," saying it would allow the military to retain the cohesion it needs to carry out its mission.
Nunn said legislation on the policy will be part of next year's defense budget, and he reserved judgment as to whether it will be the president's
policy or his own.
"I hope that we will receive testimony today and tomorrow that will enable us to mark up legislation that is consistent with the policy announced by the president and Secretary Aspin." Nunn said.
Clinton unveiled his policy Monday as an "honorable compromise," but gay rights advocates and some Democrats said the plan forces military homosexuals to remain in the closet.
Administration officials yesterday defended the policy, with Aspin telling the committee that "to a large extent the president achieved his goal" of allowing service members in the military regardless of sexual orientation.
George Stephanopoulos, counselor to the president, said yesterday on ABC, "The essential policy of the military will be to leave homosexuals alone aslong as they're acting privately. It will create a zone of privacy for gays in the military."
Citizen's policy directs the military to allow homosexuals to serve as long as they remain silent about their sexuality. It would make gays subject to dismissal for all forms of homosexual activity, from holding hands to sexual acts. But discharge would not result from going to a gay bar, reading homosexual publications or marching in a gay rights parade.
Clinton, unveiling his policy in a speech at Fort McNair, Va., said, "It is not a perfect solution. It is not identical with some of my own goals. And it certainly will not please everyone, perhaps not anyone, and clearly not those who hold the most adamant opinions on either side of this issue."
BRIEFS
MANHATTAN, Kan. — Rain continued to fall yesterday and city officials considered ordering emergency evacuations as water released from two rain-swollen federal reservoirs flooded some low-lying areas.
Thousands of people were urged Monday to evacuate their homes voluntarily. More than 600 volunteers responded by working throughout the day, moving belongings from basements and building leeves with sandbags to keep water from houses.
About 70 members of the Kansas National Guard were activated to assist Riley County Police Department with security and evacuations
Flood waters near Manhattan force evacuations
Residents north of the Kansas River were keeping a wary eye on the river's level from Manhattan to Kansas City, as continuing rains added to the discharge from Tuttle Creek and Milford federal reservoirs near Manhattan and Junction City.
Sen. Bud Burke, the Kansas Senate president, Monday signed a disaster declaration for the entire state, allowing state resources to be used to assist flood victims. Mary Holladay, Gov. Joan Finney's chief of staff, affixed the governor's signature to a request for federal aid. Finney was in Taiwan on a state trade mission.
Thunderstorms, some possibly severe, were forecast into the latter part of the week.
President nominates Sessions' FBI successor
The Associated Press
WASHINGTON — President Bill Clinton yesterday nominated federal judge Louis Freeh, a former FBI agent and federal prosecutor, to succeed fired director William Sessions as head of the FBI. The president called Freah "a law enforcement legend."
The Associated Press
The announcement came just a day after he dismissed Sessions, ending a dramatic six-month confrontation.
Freh, 43, a federal district judge from Manhattan, N.Y., has spent nearly his entire career in government service, much of it investigating organized crime.
