Ms. Hill’s Revelations Put Off
Senate Decision On Thomas
Altar a divisive, emotional debate
over one of the moot politically chorg
ed Issues before it in recent years, the
Senate agreed to postpone until next
Tuesday the vote on the confirmation
of Judge Clarence Thomas to the
Supreme Court.
The White House reluctantly
agreed to the delay to allow time for
the Judiciary Committee to hold
hearings into accusations of sexual
harassment that have set off a storm
of outrage against the Senate and
caused many to demand closer
scrutiny of Judge Thomas.
The highly unusual delay in the con
firmation process resulted from the
dramatic and carefully presented
public accusation on Monday by
Anita F. Hill, a law professor at the
University of Oklahoma who is a
former Thomas aide.
The decision to delay came more
than two hours after the original ft
P.M. deadline for the vote had pass
ed. Senator George J. Mitchell, the
majority leader, stepped onto the
Senate floor and said that there were
too many lingering questions about
allegations against Judge Thomas to
call a vote tonight.
“The delay approved,” Mr. Mit
chell declared, “is important to the
integrity of the Senate, the integrity
of the confirmation process, the in
tegrity of the Supreme court and the
integrity of the individuals involved.”
Senator Bob Dole, the Republican
leader, also called for a delay, but on
ly until Friday. He conceded, though,
that Republicans were outnumbered.
He said Republicans did not holdihe
Seante to vote tonight on the nomina
tion because the tide was running so
strongly against Judge Thomas that
he might have been rejected
altogether.
Under the agreement, the charges
of sexual harassment against Judge
Thomas, who today “totally and une
quivocally”denied them, will be ex
amined in hearings in the next week
under ground rules that were being
negotiated tonight.
In explaining the delay, Senator
Dole said that some of his Republican
coalleagues “would have rolled the
dice at 6 P.M.” But he added in a
