DADT Study Co-Chair: No Early Release

The Wonk Room reports that the co-chair of the DADT survey today told Sen. Carl Levin that the survey will not be released in advance of its scheduled December 1st debut, despite all the leaks.

Mr. Chairman, I think it will take until the first of December. The key factor remaining for us in the review group is to receive the review and comment by the Service Chiefs and service secretaries, which is ongoing. We anticipate their comments soon, Mr. Johnson and I will review those comments, make final adjustments to the report, which is currently in draft form and deliver to the Secretary of Defense on 1 December.
