Majority Whip praises Chairman Lugar's plan to hold hearing on the nomination July 27

WASHINGTON, D.C. - U.S. Senate Majority Whip Mitch McConnell released the following statement Friday regarding the need for Senate action on the nomination of John Bolton as Permanent Representative to the United Nations:

"During his tenure at the United Nations, Ambassador Bolton has proven to be a strong advocate on behalf of America's interests and he deserves to be confirmed by the U.S. Senate. The vitally important matters confronting the United Nations Security Council -- such as Iran, Darfur, North Korea, and Israel's efforts to combat terrorism --- demand steadfast action and leadership. John Bolton is the right man for this job."
