Appendix I
Objectives, Scope, and Methodology
Canadian officials cited the recent change in policy and their intent to
keep a low profile on the issue. They believed that the military leadership
would have more flexibility in implementing this policy if the issue
remained low-key.
Germany's chief of protocol said that "an official visit to units would serve
no purpose."
Israeli officials said our presence could be a disruption and preferred to
maintain a low profile on this issue. Israeli officials felt that homosexuals
were not an issue in the military and wanted it to remain that way.
To obtain a list of credible government and military officials, homosexual
and veterans advocacy groups, and academic sources to interview in each
foreign country, we contacted
the countries' Auditors General;
U.S. government agencies, professional societies, and individual experts in
a variety of fields, including the Congressional Research Service; the Army
Research Institute; Walter Reed Army Hospital; the American Psychiatric
Association; the American Sociological Society; the American
Psychological Association; the American Ethnological Association; the
American Anthropological Association; Lawrence Korb, a military analyst
at the Brookings Institute; Charles Moskos, a military sociologist at
Northwestern University; and Lieutenant General (Ret.) Bernard Trainor,
Director of the National Security Program at Harvard University;
public opinion polling experts, including World Association for Public
Opinion Research, the Gallup Organization, and Roper Institute;
U.S. veterans associations, including the American Legion, Veterans of
Foreign Wars, Association of the United States Army, Noncommissioned
Officers Association, Retired Officers Association, the Military Coalition,
and the Air Force Association; and
U.S. homosexual advocacy groups, including the Human Rights Campaign
Fund, Campaign for Military Service, Military Freedom Initiative,
International Gay and Lesbian Human Rights Commission, International
Lesbian and Gay Association, National Gay and Lesbian Task Force, the
Gay and Lesbian Foreign Service Association, and Federal Gay, Lesbian,
and Bisexual Employees.
After we obtained a list of contacts for each country, we supplied the list
to the respective U.S. embassy to verify the contacts' credibility within the
country.
Specifically, we interviewed the following sources in each country:
