tions by a law professor that hi
sexually harassed her when shi
worked for him a dorado ago, .
Republican senator said Sun
day And the Whitt! House dis
missed the accusations as Tin

But Democratic senators
called the accusations very scri

Thomas himself made no
comment on the allegations by

with tin; allegations
Ms Hill told the committee
that Thomas had asked her out
and when she refused, began to
describe his sexual interests
and the pornographic scenes,
but he never tout hed her. the
source said
"I felt .is though 1 did not
have a choice, that the pressure
was such that 1 was going to
have to submit to that pressure
in order to continue getting
good assignments, being able to
work and be comfortable in the
work environment," Ms Hill
said in an interview with Na
tional Public Radio.
The committee did not dis
close Ms Hill's allegations pub
licly before sending Thomas'
nomination to the full Senate
late last month without recom
mendation The committee told
the White House of the accusa
tions and a two-dav MU inquiry
ensued
While Thomas maintained
his silence, the White House is
sued a statement saying it had
"reviewed the (FBI) report and
determined that the allegation
was unfounded
Thu White House said Presi
dent Hush "continues to be
lieve that fudge Thomas is cm
mently qualified to serve on the
Supreme Court and expects
him to he confirmed prompt
ly."
A Senate vote is si heduled
for Tuesday and a majority of
senators have indicated their
support for Thomas
Sen Joseph K Helen )r . 1)
Del., chairman of the Judiciary
Committee, said in a statement
that Ms Hill "first contai ted
the Senate Judiciary Committee
on Thursday Sept 12 and in
sisted that her allegations re
mam confidential, that her
name not lie used and that the

calls later, did Ms Hill notify
