Key vote is set for Tuesday on military ban repeal

U.S. Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., has set a cloture vote for this coming Tuesday afternoon on a bill that contains language for a repeal process of "Don't ask, don't tell." Democrats need 60 votes to begin debate on the National Defense Authorization Act. Pro-repeal groups are stepping up their efforts to lobby senators to allow a vote on the bill and resist efforts to strip out the military ban language.
