Bolton to Full Senate Here's an article about John Bolton from the New York Times via the Denver Post [May 13, 2005, "Bolton nomination now up to Senate"]. From the article, "The Senate Foreign Relations Committee sent the nomination of John Bolton to the full Senate without a recommendation for its approval, after Republicans fell short of the solid support among their members necessary to endorse him as ambassador to the United Nations. The highly unusual move by the committee, the third time it has sent a nomination to the Senate without a favorable recommendation in the past 22 years, was nevertheless an important victory for the White House. It moved one of the most contested of its foreign policy appointments a step closer to approval, given the Republicans' solid majority in the Senate."
