WASHINGTON, May 26 (Reuters) - The U.S. Senate voted on Thursday to
delay John Bolton's confirmation as U.S. ambassador to the United
Nations, bowing to Democrats' demands that the Bush administration
hand over more information on Bolton.
Skip to next paragraph Reuters
The Senate voted 56-42, giving Republicans less than the 60 votes
needed to end debate and go to a final vote on Bolton. That will put
the confirmation vote off until after Congress' weeklong Memorial Day
recess.

Washington - Senate Democrats will not allow a vote on President Bush's choice for U.N. ambassador unless the White House hands over records of communications intercepts Bolton sought from the secretive National Security Agency, Minority Leader Harry Reid said Thursday.
"You can't ignore the Senate. We've told them what we've wanted. The ball is in his court," Reid, D-Nevada, told CNN. "If they want John Bolton as ambassador to the United Nations, give us this information. If they don't, there will be no Bolton."
The Senate fell four votes shy of the 60 needed to cut off debate on Bolton's nomination in May after two Democrats on the Foreign Relations Committee urged their colleagues to hold the issue open.
Sens. Joseph Biden, the ranking Democrat on the committee, and Christopher Dodd have demanded the Bush administration produce documents 10 National Security Agency communications intercepts that Bolton, the State Department's undersecretary for arms control, had requested since 2001.
White House Communications Director Nicole Devenish called Reid's stance "another effort to distract from the work that the people want to see done here in Washington."
"This request for additional information is clearly a stalling tactic, and one that I think the American people are growing weary of," she said.
But Reid said Bush is responsible for breaking the impasse - not Democrats.
"The president is obstructing a vote on John Bolton," he said. "We've asked for simple information that Congresses over many decades that we have been in existence have been given by the White House."
The Senate confirmed Bolton for four previous government jobs dating back to the 1980s. But his nomination to the U.N. post has been more controversial, since he has been an outspoken critic of the world body in the past.
During a Federalist Society forum in 1994, Bolton said: "If the U.N. secretary building in New York lost 10 stories, it wouldn't make a bit of difference."
The White House says Bolton's blunt style and skepticism about the United Nations is needed to promote reform within the organization. But opponents also have criticized his handling of the diplomatic standoffs over the nuclear programs in Iran and North Korea during the past four years.
The Foreign Relations Committee, in a rare move, sent his nomination to the full Senate without a recommendation, and Ohio Republican Sen. George Voinovich has urged colleagues to vote against Bolton's confirmation.
Bush criticized the delay last week, telling reporters that the information Democrats want was given to Senate Intelligence Committee Chairman Sen. Pat Roberts, R-Kansas and ranking committee Democrat John Rockefeller, D-West Virginia.
But Democrats have tried to argue that lawmakers have a right to that information in order to make an informed decision on Bolton, who has been accused of threatening intelligence analysts whose conclusions did not match his.
"We know very categorically that John Bolton tried to have fired two intelligence analysts because he didn't like the conclusions they reached about America's intelligence," Dodd told CNN's "Inside Politics" Wednesday.
"That, to me, is going way beyond the prerogatives of a policymaker here. Did he go further than that? I need to know the answers to those questions. I have a right to know it as a senator - not me personally, but the Senate does."

| Democrats List More Names in Inquiry on Bolton's Access
By Douglas Jehl
The New York Times
Saturday 11 June 2005
Washington - Senate Democrats have prepared a list of approximately three dozen "names of concern" and are asking the Bush administration for assurances that John R. Bolton did not misuse his access to highly classified intelligence to seek information about them.
The request is outlined in a letter sent Thursday by Senators Joseph R. Biden Jr. of Delaware and Christopher J. Dodd of Connecticut, two of the leaders of the Democratic opposition to Mr. Bolton's nomination as ambassador to the United Nations. The letter was sent to the senior Republican and Democratic senators on the Intelligence Committee, who have also been involved in negotiations with the Bush administration over access to information about Mr. Bolton's actions when he was an official at the State Department.
The letter did not identify those on the list, but Democratic aides said they included intelligence officials and others with whom Mr. Bolton had clashed. They said the Senate Democrats would provide the list to John D. Negroponte, the director of national intelligence, if Mr. Negroponte made clear that he would provide appropriate information in response.
The proposal represents the latest effort by the Democrats to learn more about Mr. Bolton's handling of intelligence information during his four years as under secretary of state. The administration has acknowledged that Mr. Bolton used his authority to obtain the names of 19 American individuals and companies mentioned in communications intercepted by the National Security Agency, but it has refused to give the Senate details.
A copy of the letter was provided to The New York Times by a Congressional Democrat. A Republican Congressional official expressed surprise at the number of names said to be on the Democratic list, and noted that Democrats until now had expressed concern about Mr. Bolton's dealings with fewer people. The proposal "seems to move away from a good-faith effort toward resolving this issue," the Republican official said.
Democrats succeeded last month in blocking a Senate vote on Mr. Bolton, and they have said they will continue to oppose any decision until the administration provides more information about a dispute concerning Syria that involved Mr. Bolton and about the intercepted communications. They say they need the information to help them judge whether Mr. Bolton misused his access to the N.S.A. reports, from which the names of American individuals and companies are ordinarily deleted.
The Democrats have expressed concern that Mr. Bolton may have obtained the names as part of an effort to keep tabs on adversaries in the administration, including the intelligence officials with whom he clashed over assessments on Syria and Cuba.
In their letter, Mr. Dodd and Mr. Biden said they were "prepared to drop our request" to see the names that were shared with Mr. Bolton, in order "to be as accommodating as possible" in working with the administration.
The two senators asked two leaders of the Intelligence Committee - Senators Pat Roberts of Kansas, a Republican, and John D. Rockefeller IV of West Virginia, a Democrat - to act as intermediaries working with Mr. Negroponte in helping to resolve the issue.
"If there is any overlap between our 'names of concern' and those provided to Mr. Bolton by the N.S.A., we would request your assistance as chairman and vice chairman of the Select Committee on Intelligence in understanding whether there was any inappropriate use of the 'names of concern' by Mr. Bolton or his staff," Mr. Biden and Mr. Dodd said. "If, on the other hand, Director Negroponte informs both of you that no overlap exists, then we believe we will be one step closer to an up-or-down vote on the nomination."
There was no immediate response to the proposal from the White House or from Mr. Negroponte's office. For several weeks, the White House has said it believes that the Senate has all the information it needs to vote on Mr. Bolton's nomination, and it has expressed confidence that the nominee will prevail in an up-or-down vote.
Mr. Negroponte's office also did not respond to a request for comment, but rejected an earlier request from Mr. Dodd that sought corroboration about what names Mr. Bolton had obtained.
Senator Harry Reid of Nevada, the Democratic leader, said through a spokesman on Friday that the proposal by Mr. Biden and Mr. Dodd represented the latest in a series of efforts to ensure that the Senate acts "to fulfill its constitutional responsibilities" in the standoff over Mr. Bolton.
"So far, the administration has offered only one option: stonewall and obstruct," Mr. Reid said. He added, "If the administration decides to work in good faith to give the Senate the information it deserves, Senate Democrats are ready to immediately give Bolton an up-or-down vote." | | | | Alpha | | | | Alpha | | | | Alpha | | | | | ©2002-2009 WarWithoutEnd.co.uk |
