LIEBERMAN, COLLINS REACT TO ANNOUNCEMENT THAT PENTAGON WILL RELEASE REPORT ON "DON'T ASK, DON'T TELL" ON NOVEMBER 30

11.21.10

WASHINGTON, DC -- Senators Joe Lieberman (I-CT) and Susan Collins (R-ME) today issued the following statement in response to the Department of Defense's announcement that that it will release its report on implementing the repeal of "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" on November 30th, a day earlier than initially planned:

"We thank Secretary Gates for expediting the release of the report so that Congress will have as much time as possible to review the findings and proceed with repeal this year. Secretary Gates' decision to release the report early as we requested and Secretary Gates' leadership calling for repeal are two more reasons why we think Congress can and should repeal this discriminatory policy now."

Senate Passes Postal Reform Bill


On April 25, the U.S. Senate Wednesday passed a strong, bipartisan postal reform bill to preserve the United States Postal Service (USPS) and put it on more solid financial ground for the future.  The 21st Century Postal Service Act (S.1789) was passed by a 62-37 vote.


“This legislation will change the USPS so it can stay alive throughout the 21st century to serve the people and businesses of this country," Lieberman said.
