announced it will study this for a year. there are calls already for a more t moratorium. how can secretary gates opposed to that? >> he's opposed to it because it is repealed by another name and we need the time. he is very supportive of the desire to move forward with the repeal of don't ask, don't tell. he and the chairman have been outspoken in their support of that effort but they've been vehemently in support of the time needed to review this, to gauge the potential impact of a repeal of this 13-year-old law and determine what, indeed, the effects would be on the force. we've had a lot of stories written. there's a lot of tales told. a lot of anecdotal stories. what we don't have is hard evidence, a study dedicated to the united states military to determine what the impact would be, what the complications would be, what the opportunities may be, and so not until that study is done -- it's due for december -- does the secretary believe, at least, we should proceed in any way legislatively up on the hill with the repeal.
