| | Nunn Offers Compromise on Military's Gay Ban (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26) |
 | | Nunn, while siding with the uniformed Pentagon leadership against Clinton on maintaining the longtime ban, suggested in a "CBS This Morning" interview that an interim six-month compromise reached in January could be made permanent. |
 | | Nunn, foreseeing problems of equal treatment for "hand-holding," "kissing" gays and non-gays under a new code of conduct, said that "if people keep their private behavior private, if they don't declare and advertise their private behavior," they are currently able to stay in the service as long as they perform their duties. |
 | | Nunn started off the hearings, which will extend over at least four months, with nominally "neutral," generally dispassionate testimony by two congressional researchers and two law professors on the historical and legal background of the Pentagon ban. |
