             LEGISLATORS BEGIN REPEAL EFFORT

   Days after the White House reluctantly agreed to a defense
bill that would force out service members with the  AIDS virus,
legislators are beginning a bipartisan repeal effort.

   They have six months to act before the military discharges
more than l,000 uniformed enlistees and officers who have HIV,
the virus that causes AIDS. Rep. Peter Torkildsen (R-Mass.),
said Friday he has filed legislation to repeal the provision in
the 1996 defense authorization bill, which President Clinton is
expected to sign into law next week.
