PROVIDENCE -- Sen. Lincoln D. Chafee says he will vote to confirm John Bolton -- a staunch conservative and President Bush's choice -- as U.S. ambassador to the United Nations unless some significant new anti-Bolton information surfaces during a Senate hearing next week.


As a member of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, his vote may determine whether John Bolton becomes the U.S. envoy to the United Nations.


Chafee called the opposition "organized" and said he has received many telephone calls, e-mail messages and letters. "You take every phone call and e-mail and letter seriously," Chafee said. "I don't want to minimize how Rhode Islanders feel about this. I'm listening."
