- Congressqueer Barney Frank's niece is good friend of mine, and she told
- me yesterday that Frank was getting faxes at his office on Inauguration
- Day from the Clinton people about the policy -- one read, "The question
- (of sexual orientation) will not be asked." She said he probably leaked
- a lot of that stuff to the press. I hope that sheds a little light on
- the situation...
