subject to civilian control, exist as a specialized
society; and
‘‘(B) the military society is characterized by
its own laws, rules, customs, and traditions, in-
cluding numerous restrictions on personal behav-
ior, that would not be acceptable in civilian soci-
ety.
‘‘(9) The standards of conduct for members of the
armed forces regulate a member’s life for 24 hours
each day beginning at the moment the member enters
military status and not ending until that person is
discharged or otherwise separated from the armed
forces.
‘‘(10) Those standards of conduct, including the
Uniform Code of Military Justice, apply to a member
of the armed forces at all times that the member has
a military status, whether the member is on base or
off base, and whether the member is on duty or off
duty.
‘‘(11) The pervasive application of the standards
of conduct is necessary because members of the armed
forces must be ready at all times for worldwide de-
ployment to a combat environment.
‘‘(12) The worldwide deployment of United
States military forces, the international responsibil-
201
HR 2401 RH
ities of the United States, and the potential for in-
volvement of the armed forces in actual combat rou-
tinely make it necessary for members of the armed
forces involuntarily to accept living conditions and
working conditions that are often spartan, primitive,
and characterized by forced intimacy with little or no
privacy.
‘‘(13) The prohibition against homosexual con-
duct is a longstanding element of military law that
continues to be necessary in the unique circumstances
of military service.
‘‘(14) The armed forces must maintain personnel
policies that exclude persons whose presence in the
armed forces would create an unacceptable risk to the
armed forces’ high standards of morale, good order
and discipline, and unit cohesion that are the essence
of military capability.
‘‘(15) The presence in the armed forces of persons
who demonstrate a propensity or intent to engage in
homosexual acts would create an unacceptable risk to
the high standards of morale, good order and dis-
cipline, and unit cohesion that are the essence of mili-
tary capability.
‘‘(b) POLICY.—A member of the armed forces shall be
separated from the armed forces under regulations pre-
202
HR 2401 RH
scribed by the Secretary of Defense if one or more of the
following findings is made and approved in accordance
with procedures set forth in such regulations:
‘‘(1) That the member has engaged in, attempted
to engage in, or solicited another to engage in a ho-
mosexual act or acts unless there are further findings,
made and approved in accordance with procedures set
forth in such regulations, that the member has dem-
onstrated that—
‘‘(A) such conduct is a departure from the
member’s usual and customary behavior;
‘‘(B) such conduct, under all the cir-
cumstances, is unlikely to recur;
‘‘(C) such conduct was not accomplished by
use of force, coercion, or intimidation;
‘‘(D) under the particular circumstances of
the case, the member’s continued presence in the
armed forces is consistent with the interests of
the armed forces in proper discipline, good order,
and morale; and
‘‘(E) the member does not have a propensity
or intent to engage in homosexual acts.
‘‘(2) That the member has stated that he or she
is a homosexual or bisexual, or words to that effect,
unless there is a further finding, made and approved
203
HR 2401 RH
in accordance with procedures set forth in the regula-
tions, that the member has demonstrated that he or
she is not a person who engages in, attempts to en-
gage in, has a propensity to engage in, or intends to
engage in homosexual acts.
‘‘(3) That the member has married or attempted
to marry a person known to be of the same biological
sex.
‘‘(c) ENTRY STANDARDS AND DOCUMENTS.—(1) The
Secretary of Defense shall ensure that the standards for en-
listment and appointment of members of the armed forces
reflect the policies set forth in subsection (b).
‘‘(2) The documents used to effectuate the enlistment
or appointment of a person as a member of the armed forces
shall set forth the provisions of subsection (b).
‘‘(d) REQUIRED BRIEFINGS.—The briefings that mem-
bers of the armed forces receive upon entry into the armed
forces and periodically thereafter under section 937 of this
title (article 137 of the Uniform Code of Military Justice)
shall include a detailed explanation of the applicable laws
and regulations governing sexual conduct by members of the
armed forces, including the policies prescribed under sub-
section (b).
‘‘(e) RULE OF CONSTRUCTION.—Nothing in subsection
(b) shall be construed to require that a member of the armed
204
HR 2401 RH
forces be processed for separation from the armed forces
when a determination is made in accordance with regula-
tions prescribed by the Secretary of Defense that—
‘‘(1) the member engaged in conduct or made
statements for the purpose of avoiding or terminating
military service; and
‘‘(2) separation of the member would not be in
the best interest of the armed forces.
‘‘(f) DEFINITIONS.—In this section:
‘‘(1) The term ‘homosexual’ means a person, re-

that—
(1) the suspension of questioning concerning ho-
mosexuality as part of the processing of individuals

the Secretary of Defense may reinstate that question-

he considers appropriate if the Secretary determines
that it is necessary to do so in order to effectuate the
policy set forth in section 654 of title 10, United

31(b) of the Uniform Code of Military Justice).

receiving reimbursement under the Civilian Health
251

(2) Chiropractors offer cost-effective care that is
desired by covered beneficiaries under CHAMPUS.
(3) On March 1, 1992, the Department of De-
fense concluded a two-year demonstration project to
test 
the 
participation 
of 
chiropractors 
under
CHAMPUS.

1,100 chiropractors in the States of Colorado and
Washington and generated over 50,000 claims from
5,700 covered beneficiaries.

fense on the demonstration project was expected in
December 1992, but analysis of data derived from the
project was delayed due to the late filing of claims.

subsection (a), it is the sense of Congress that the Secretary
of Defense should—
(1) designate the analysis referred to in sub-
section (a)(5) of the demonstration project to test the
participation of chiropractors under CHAMPUS as a
priority matter to be completed as expeditiously as
possible, and not later than October 1, 1993;

clusions as the Secretary considers to be appropriate,

possible date, and not later than October 1, 1993;
(3) provide Congress (including the General Ac-
counting Office or other designated representative of
Congress) access to all data resulting from the dem-
onstration project; and
(4) proceed immediately with any preliminary
staff work (such as development of procedures and
regulations) that may be required to comply with the
findings and recommendations resulting from the
