DADT Hearings Expected In October
A spokesperson for Senator Kirsten Gillibrand said Tuesday the senator expects the “don’t ask, don’t tell” hearings to take place next month.
“Senator Gillibrand understands that Chairman Levin expects to hold the hearings sometime in October,” said Matt Canter, Gillibrand’s press secretary.
Kevin Nix of the Service Members Legal Defense Network, which lobbies for repeal of the gay ban, said he also anticipates an October time frame for the hearings, but he added that nothing was set in stone. A spokesperson for Senator Carl Levin of Michigan, who chairs the Senate Armed Services Committee, said no hearings have been officially scheduled.
Whether a bill to repeal “don’t ask, don’t tell” will be introduced prior to the hearings remains an open question.
