A Senate subcommittee shelved for at least six weeks a plan by Sen. William Benton to press an inquiry into McCarthy's conduct and possible expulsion. Benton threatened to reveal 26 State Department employees he says are being checked for loyalty. McCarthy mocked the move and urged lifting the cloak of libel immunity for his accusers.
