Williamson, S3. said she and
ni least fivi? of tin? other women
an? willing to testify because they
believe public hearings would
assure a "thorough and even
handed" investigation.
The women — including for
mer Packwood staffers and lob
byists — have accused the sena
tor of unwanted kissing and
touching direi ted toward them
during his 24-year Senate career.
Some of the women also accused
Packwood of conducting a smear
campaign against them, and
Williamson said Tuesday those
women would welcome an
opportunity to "clear our names.”
The Senate Ethics Committee
currently is wrapping up a pri
vate investigation into the
women’s claims.
Allred and several of the
women say Packwood is playing
political "hardball" by refusing

Pat kvvood. elected to the Sen

over thousands of diary pages
dating from 1969 to 19HH.
Pack wood's attorney. James
Fitzpatrick, did not return
phone calls Tuesday hut has
suggested a neutral person be
appointed to review the diaries
and decide whether additional
entries should be brought before
the Ethics Committee.
Allrod also said the six-mem
ber Senate Ethics Committee has
had enough time to announce
public hearings and set a date.
"It would increase public con
fidence in the fairness of the
process," said Allred.
Both Williamson and Hutton
said recently they agreed to tes
tify publicly only after the
Ethics Committee offered ade
quate safeguards against unnec
essary inquiries into other past
relationships.
"Now is the time to call for
public hearings. I'm advocating
this because who knows if sexu
