with it.

However - about the collegue that was stopped from testifying:

The strongest evidence refuting Miss Hill's version of the circumstances surrounding her job change came from two people who, because of time pressures, were never called to testify before the Judiciary Committee.

Andrew Fishel was the head of the personnel office in the civil-rights division of the Department of Education during Miss Hill's tenure there. In a interview, he said that when she arrived at the department in late August 1981, he personally briefed her on her status as a Schedule A attorney. A year later, in 1982, Mr. Fishel continued, "we also had a discussion just prior to her leaving and going over the EEOC. . . .She told me she was going over as a Schedule A. She said she liked being a Schedule A because she was not subject to dismissal. . . .She said she was personally and professionally flattered to be going with Thomas, that it was a great career move. She showed no hesitancy."
