Three Republican senators spoke in a news conference to state that should the Clinton administration impose a six month delay in overturning the ban on homosexuals in the U.S. military, they would not introduce an amendment in the U.S. Senate codifying the military's ban on homosexuals. The three senators met with a group of women earlier in the day and veterans groups the previous day to discuss the potential overturning of the ban, and all three opposed the removal of the ban.
