Lugar's remarks:
Sen. Richard G. Lugar, Indiana Republican and chairman of the Foreign Relations Committee, said yesterday he thinks John R. Bolton will be confirmed as U.S. ambassador to the United Nations, but that President Bush could have picked a less contentious candidate to push for reforms at the world body.
"I believe he'll be confirmed. I think [vote counts] indicate that a majority of senators are in favor of confirming John Bolton," Mr. Lugar said on CNN's "Late Edition."
But Mr. Lugar added, "I agree with my colleague George Voinovich, there were many who might serve, who might be good for reform."
