                        Thursday, March 15, 2007

  Mr. HALL of New York. Madam Speaker, unfortunately, the amending text

of military recruiting. Nonetheless, I wish to reaffirm my opposition 
to the military's policy of ``Don't Ask, Don't Tell'' and my belief 
that the policy should be discontinued, as well as my support for the 
1st amendment rights of American universities.
