XE605C @ GWUVM.GWU.EDU | Here's how the Senators voted yesterday (9/9/93) on Barbara Boxer's amendment to Sam Nunn's codification of a stricter version of Clinton's "don't ask, don't tell, don't pursue" policy on gays in the military. "Y" means a vote for Clinton's policy, "N" is a vote for the tougher legislative policy, which includes the language that "homosexuality is incompatible with military service." The Noes won 63-to-33 :-( --------------------------------------------------- ___ ___ ___ ___ | p | | | p | | | a | v | | a | v | _________________________________| r | o |______________| r | o | | | | t | t | | t | t | | STATE | SENATOR | y | e | SENATOR | y | e | |_________________|_______________|___|___|______________|___|___| | | | | | | | | | Alabama | Heflin | D | N | Shelby | D | N | | Alaska | Murkowski | R | - | Stevens | R | N | | Arizona | DeConcini | D | Y | McCain | R | N | | Arkansas | Bumpers | D | N | Pryor | D | N | | California | Boxer | D | Y | Feinstein | D | Y | | Colorado | Brown | R | N | Campbell | D | Y | | Connecticut | Dodd | D | Y | Lieberman | D | Y | | Delaware | Biden | D | Y | Roth | R | N | | Florida | Graham | D | N | Mack | R | N | | Georgia | Coverdell | R | N | Nunn | D | N | | Hawaii | Akaka | D | Y | Inouye | D | Y | | Idaho | Craig | R | N | Kempthorne | R | N | | Illinois | Mosely Braun | D | Y | Simon | D | Y | | Indiana | Coats | R | N | Lugar | R | N | | Iowa | Grassley | R | N | Harkin | D | Y | | Kansas | Dole | R | N | Kassebaum | R | N | | Kentucky | Ford | D | N | McConnell | R | N | | Louisiana | Breaux | D | N | Johnston | D | N | | Maine | Cohen | R | N | Mitchell | D | N | | Maryland | Mikulski | D | Y | Sarbanes | D | Y | | Massachusetts | Kennedy | D | Y | Kerry | D | Y | | Michigan | Levin | D | Y | Riegle | D | Y | | Minnesota | Durenberger | R | N | Wellstone | D | Y | | Mississippi | Cochran | R | N | Lott | R | N | | Missouri | Bond | R | N | Danforth | R | N | | Montana | Baucus | D | N | Burns | R | N | | Nebraska | Exon | R | N | Kerrey | D | Y | | Nevada | Bryan | D | N | Reid | D | N | | New Hampshire | Gregg | R | N | Smith | R | N | | New Jersey | Bradley | D | Y | Lautenberg | D | Y | | New Mexico | Bingaman | D | Y | Domenici | R | N | | New York | D'Amato | R | Y | Moynihan | D | Y | | North Carolina | Faircloth | R | N | Helms | R | N | | North Dakota | Conrad | D | N | Dorgan | D | N | | Ohio | Glenn | D | - | Metzenbaum | D | Y | | Oklahoma | Boren | D | N | Nickles | R | N | | Oregon | Hatfield | R | N | Packwood | R | N | | Pennsylvania | Specter | R | N | Wofford | D | N | | Rhode Island | Chafee | R | Y | Pell | D | Y | | South Carolina | Hollings | D | N | Thurmond | R | N | | South Dakota | Daschle | D | N | Pressler | R | N | | Tennessee | Mathews | D | N | Sasser | D | N | | Texas | Gramm | R | N | Hutchison | R | - | | Utah | Bennett | R | N | Hatch | R | N | | Vermont | Jeffords | R | Y | Leahy | D | Y | | Virginia | Robb | D | Y | Warner | R | N | | Washington | Gorton | R | N | Murray | D | Y | | West Virginia | Byrd | D | N | Rockefeller | D | N | | Wisconsin | Feingold | D | Y | Kohl | D | N | | Wyoming | Simpson | R | N | Wallop | R | - | |_________________|_______________|___|___|______________|___|___| -- ----------------------------------------------------------------------- rod williams -=- pacific bell -=- san ramon, ca -=- rjwill6@pacbell.com ----------------------------------------------------------------------- ----- End forwarded text, begin my comments Rumor has it that Clinton is not spending any more political capital on this issue and won't fight this.
