DescriptionA U.S. Senate committee scrubbed its planned vote on Thursday on whether to keep John Bolton as ambassador to the United Nations, as a key Republican remained undecided on the nomination by President George W. Bush.

Rhode Island Republican Sen. Lincoln Chafee, who is locked in a tough re-election bid, wanted more answers from Bolton on the Middle East and other issues before voting, Chafee's spokesman said.

Chafee, the only Republican who has not publicly committed to supporting Bolton, faces a Republican primary election on Tuesday.

Committee Chairman Richard Lugar said the committee will meet on Bolton again, but did not say when.
