President Clinton told reporters yesterday that the Senate should schedule hearings for his nominee to serve as Secretary of Labor, Alexis Herman. Clinton commented, “There has still not been a hearing. I think that’s a big mistake. She has wide support among labor — labor unions endorsed her yesterday Ð and she has wide support among business.” He went on to say, “She is clearly well qualifiedÉand if she gets a hearing, she will be confirmed.” Herman, Clinton’s only African-American female nominee, is also the only nominee who does not yet have a scheduled hearing.
