While checking in to see if the Senate Committee on Armed Services had updated its February schedule to include hearings on the “Compassionate Care” for servicewomen act (they haven’t), I came across this addition to tomorrow’s schedule:

12:00 p.m. – 1:00 p.m.:
To receive testimony relating to the “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” policy

Witnesses: Secretary of Defense, Robert Gates & Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of staff, Admiral Michael G. Mullen

Progress….
