WASHINGTON, Sept. 5 ・Congressional leaders said today that they would undertake weeks of hearings and debate on whether to support military action against Iraq, a move that could delay a final vote until after the November elections.

"I'm more concerned about getting this done right than getting it done quickly," said Senator Tom Daschle of South Dakota, the Democratic majority leader, a day after President Bush agreed to seek congressional approval before any invasion. Senator Trent Lott of Mississippi, the Republican minority leader, also made it clear that he did not favor forcing a quick vote, although on Wednesday Congressional and administration leaders had predicted that the debate could be concluded by early October.

Thomas E. White, the Army secretary, told a group of reporters today that the Army recently deployed weapons and supplies to a base in Kuwait near the border with Iraq as part of a training exercise to test both the equipment and the military's ability to move it quickly from one base to another.

Officials responsible for moving weapons throughout the area said a large volume of supplies had been shifting in and out of the gulf region.

Meanwhile, in southern Iraq today, allied warplanes attacked a command-and-control position at a military airfield about 240 miles west of Baghdad, military officials said. The United States Central Command said the strike was ordered after Iraqi forces had tried to shoot down American or British fighters that enforce the "no flight" zone over the area.

Still, the administration's most immediate concern involved persuading skeptical members of Congress to support its plans, which constitute uncharted political territory for both parties. About two dozen senators from both sides of the aisle were invited to the Pentagon today to discuss Iraqi policy with Vice President Dick Cheney, Secretary of Defense Donald H. Rumsfeld and George J. Tenet, the director of central intelligence. Later in the day, Mr. Cheney and Mr. Tenet provided evidence of Iraqi military capability to the top four Congressional leaders.
