Sam Brownback: “No. 1 is, what we are talking about is separate barracks during basic training--separate barracks during basic training.…”

“No. 1 is, what we are talking about is separate barracks during basic training--separate barracks during basic training. We are not talking about further training; we are not talking about deployment, any of those issues that are being raised as a smokescreen by others. We are not talking about separation. We are talking about the 9 weeks of basic training, separate barracks. All right, that is No. 1. No. 2 is we are also talking about limited access by trainers of the opposite sex after hours. We have had instances--we have had court-martials. Even this month we have had a court-martial take place in the Navy involving that type of situation. So what we are saying is if you are of the opposite gender, you can't go into the facility where the other gender is staying after hours other than in emergency cases. Those are the two things we are talking about. Those are intimate issues and they have eminent common sense about them, plus I might add being backed up by the Kassebaum-Baker commission, the Army survey that I showed, the CRS study that I also cited earlier.”
