John Bolton
WASHINGTON: The Republican Chairman of the Senate committee considering the U.S. President, George W. Bush's choice to be United Nations ambassador said allegations about John R. Bolton's management style and judgment were not enough to sink the nomination. Democrats hope to defeat Mr. Bolton when the Senate Foreign Relations Committee votes on Tuesday. Democrats are outnumbered 10-8 on the committee, and would need the vote of one or more Republicans. ``I do not think the concerns raised about Secretary Bolton warrant our rejection of the President's selection for his own representative to the U.N.,'' said committee Chairman Richard Lugar, a Republican, in a statement prepared for Tuesday's session. Mr. Bolton is a harsh critic of the United Nations bureaucracy and thus a provocative choice to be Washington's representative to the world body. Most of the allegations that have accompanied his nomination, however, concern his personal dealings and judgment. — AP
