Decision on gay ban nears
Announcement may come today
WASHINGTON — President Clinton and Senate Democrats appeared near agreement early yesterday morning on a compromise aimed at defusing intense opposition in Congress to Clinton's plan to suspend the military ban on gays.
The Associated Press
She said that both Clinton and Nunn, chairman of the Senate Armed Services Committee and the most influential opponent of lifting the gay ban, wanted to go over some final points overnight and would talk again today.
Sen. Sam Nunn, D-Ga, and Senate Majority Leader George Mitchell, D-Maine, rushed their compromise to the White House late yesterday, and both sides indicated that few differences remained after a two-hour meeting.
White House Press Secretary Dee Dee Myers said Clinton expected to make an announcement today.
"They're close." she said
Myers said loose ends dealt with how to treat homosexuals in the military during the six-month interim before a final executive order was issued.
"We made good progress," Mitchell added.
The White House negotiations came as a federal judge in Los Angeles ruled that the military's gay ban was unconstitutional, handing Clinton powerful ammunition to press for ending the ban entirely.
Word of the ruling in favor of Keith Heinhold, a 12-year Navy veteran ousted for being gay, was brought to the Oval Office by a Clinton aide in the
middle of the president's meeting with Nunn and Mitchell.
The congressional proposal closely tracks Clinton's stated plan for a sixmonth interim period during which the Pentagon would stop recruiters from asking about sexual preference and halt the ouster of homosexuals in uniform.
Mitchell said he wanted to read the decision before commenting.
Sen. J. James Exon, D-Neb., and a senior member of the Armed Forces Committee, said the Democrats worked out an agreement "to strike and eliminate the question of sexual preference for a six-month period."
In addition, the proposal calls for a "partial moratorium on proceeding with procedures to remove people from the service while it is further studied by the Chiefs of Staff and further studied in the heartseas."
However, in a nod to the Pentagon, the compromise would also allow a commander to temporarily transfer a homosexual.
Clinton had been expected to make an announcement yesterday on the gay ban, but it was postponed for a second consecutive day.
Whatever their sexual orientation, Clinton said yesterday, "Americans who are willing to conform to requirements of conduct in the military service, in my judgment, should be able to serve in the military."
Clinton said there was "an enormous amount of agreement" on ending the practice of asking military recruits about their sexual orientation. However, he said there was still disagreement with Congress and the military over the second part of his interim plan dealing with treatment of acknowledged homosexuals already in the service.
The president gave no indication of backing away from his ultimate goal.
which aides have said would be reached in an order six months from now, of lifting the military's 50-year ban on homosexuals.
"People should be disqualified from serving in the military based on something they do, not based on who they are," Clinton said.
The administration was working with Democratic leaders to block Republican plans for an early vote on preserving the ban.
White House Communications Director George Stephanopoulos said the interim order, the first of the expected two steps, would come "relatively soon," perhaps today.
Clinton said the Joint Chiefs of Staff agreed that recruits should no longer be asked about their sexual orientation.
Kansas Sen. Bob Dole and two other key Republicans said at a news conference that they would not attach an amendment codifying the ban to legislation if Clinton abandons his plans for an interm change in policy.
The two-step approach is designed to give the administration time to solve potential problems with morale, recruitment, discipline and conduct—and also time to stave off a revolt in Congress.
Under Clinton's interim order, cases based on sexual conduct — such as sodomy — would proceed because they involve violations of the military code of justice.
However, if the president makes any change, including directing recruiters to stop asking about sexual preference, the Republicans would carry through with their legislative attack, they said.
"We will not wait if the president does not wait," said Sen. Strom Thurmond of South Carolina, the ranking Republican on the Armed Services Committee.
