Chronology: November 4, 1998

Election analysis indicates the CFA is a step closer to passage of a flag-protection constitutional amendment in the U.S. Senate in the 106th Congress. Newly elected Senators who support the flag-protection amendment include Sens. Blanche Lambert Lincoln (D-AR), Peter Fitzgerald (R-IL) and George Voinovich (R-OH). All three Senators replace incumbents who were on record as "no" votes, thus enhancing the amendment’s chance for passage in the Senate.
