>Spc. Michael New vs. U.S. Department of Defense
>
>Subject:	SPC Michael New gets D.C. Appeal!
>
>(Washington) - The U.S. Court of Appeals has denied the Department of
>Defense's request to throw SPC Michael New's case out with a "summary
>affirmation," and has granted New a full hearing.  New was the soldier
>who reported to duty in Schweinfurt, Germany, in October, 1995,
>wearing an authorized U.S. Battle Dress Uniform, in disobedience of a
>direct order to wear unauthorized United Nations insignia.  The
>military judge, Lt. Col. Gary Jewell, refused to allow New's attorneys
>to present any evidence to the panel concerning the legality of the
>orders, the uniforms, or the deployment itself.  He was
>court-martialed and given a Bad Conduct Discharge in 1996.  His case
>is on appeal in the military courts as well.
>
>The 3rd Infantry Division has been supplying 550 men to the United
>Nations for six month deployments into Macedonia since mid-1993,
>without Congressional approval or authority.  President Clinton
>maintains that he doesn't need Congress' permission to send troops. 
>In mid-1993 Clinton issued Presidential Decision Directive #25 giving
>himself the authority to act without Congress.  While he provided a
>summary of that directive to Congress, he classified the actual order,
>so no Congressman is allowed to read it.  A controversy has developed
>over this practice.
>
>Virginia attorney Michael Farris said Thursday, "This ruling means
>that Michael New's arguments will now get the full hearing they
>deserve.  The Constitution and the laws of this country make it clear
>that the President cannot unilaterally assign soldiers to fight under
>a foreign commander in foreign uniforms.  Michael New has courageously
>stood on the side of our country and our laws.  We will now have an
>opportunity to demonstrate the clear illegality of the Clinton
>decision to unilaterally commit our bravest men and women to foreign
>commanders who have the power to place them in harm's way in a battle
>zone."  Farris is head of the Home School Legal Defense Association,
>and is New's lead attorney in the civilian courts.
