MAGINNIS MOVING

Robert Maginnis, one of this town's most vocal proponents of traditional 
military values, toppling Saddam Hussein and winning the war on drugs, 
resigned from the Family Research Council this week.

Mr. Maginnis, a retired Army lieutenant colonel, tells us the FRC is 
dropping the military and anti-drug policies from its agenda.

Mr. Maginnis, who battled Clinton administration's drive in 1993 for open 
homosexuality in the military and helped expose the combat-readiness 
problems of the late 1990s, says he is looking to land at another 
conservative think tank.

"I'm clearly hoping to stay very much involved, and I'm making rounds in 
the city looking for folks who are interested in these issues from a 
conservative perspective," he says.

He adds he will continue to be a frequent contributor on cable television 
talk fests.
