Clinton signs defense bill amid fight over HIV discharge ban
President Clinton signed a 265 billion defense bill while vowing to repeal a six month discharge requirement for service members with HIV AIDS. He praised the pay raise and military provisions but urged Congress and the Supreme Court to strike down the HIV ban as unconstitutional. The measure faces ongoing House Senate efforts with multiple sponsors and supporters from Human Rights Campaign. Clinton also pressed repeal of a ban on abortions for female service members overseas.
