The Advocate has learned that concurrent meetings took place Monday morning at the White House and on Capitol Hill that could help clear the way for "don't ask, don't tell" repeal to be attached to the Department of Defense authorization bill later this week.

LGBT groups met with officials at the White House while legislative affairs representatives from the White House and the Department of Defense met with the House and Senate leadership offices on Capitol Hill along with those of Rep. Patrick Murphy and Sens. Carl Levin and Joseph Lieberman.
