By: Associated Press
WASHINGTON -- Senate Democrats opposed to John R. Bolton asked one of his GOP supporters to be a go-between in their pursuit of information that could break an impasse over his nomination to be U.N. ambassador.
At the same time, a Democratic lawmaker said the Bush administration has made overtures to try to get the nomination to a final vote.
"The White House did make some proposals which didn't really do it, but they're reaching out a little bit," Sen. Barbara Boxer, D-Calif., told reporters Thursday.
Democrats have demanded to know more about communications intercepted by the National Security Agency that Bolton had asked to see when he was the State Department's arms control chief.
