Secretary Condoleezza Rice, Bolton Nomination

Foreign Relations Committee Vote on the Bolton Nomination , Secretary Condoleezza Rice Washington, DC May 12, 2005

I am pleased that the Foreign Relations Committee has voted to send John Bolton’s nomination as Ambassador to the United Nations to the full Senate for consideration. I recommended John for this critical position because he has the skill and dedication necessary to advance the President’s reform agenda at the United Nations. I have believed from the outset that he is the right man for this challenging assignment and I hope the Senate will now move quickly to confirm him so that he can begin his work at the United Nations.
