"Dear Ms. Eastman:
Thank you for contacting me to share your views about the Wiccan
religion. In particular, a number of Minnesotans have expressed concern
about the comments made by a Member of Congress related to the practice
of Wicca on military bases.
The Department of Defense (DOD) has informed my staff that military
policy permits the free practice of religion on military bases - as long
as that practice does not involve proselytizing or interfere with
military order and discipline. This seems like a reasonable policy to
me that is in keeping with the American tradition of religious liberty.
I appreciate hearing from you on this issue, and hope that you will
continue to keep in touch.
Sincerely,
Martin Olav Sabo
Member of Congress"
