WASHINGTON (AP) - President Clinton will not let intense opposition sway him from reversing the military's ban on homosexuals, but he plans to include in his policy 'a strict code of conduct' governing sexual behaviour of everyone in the armed forces.

The White House spokesman, George Stephanopoulos, said Mr Clinton planned to give details of his policy today.
