At today's Senate Foreign Relations Committee business
meeting, Sen. John Kerry, D-MA,
tabled the nomination of Matthew Bryza
to be the next ambassador to Azerbaijan, deferring to a request for a delay
from Sen. Barbara Boxer, D-CA. The Bryza nomination could come up again
during the next meeting in September.
But the committee did approve, with one unanimous voice
vote, the nominations of 32 other would-be ambassadors and officials, sending
them on to the full Senate. Among the notable names are Jim Jeffrey to be envoy to Iraq, Frank Ricciardone to be ambassador
to Turkey, current U.N. deputy representative Alejandro D. Wolff to be ambassador to Chile, Holbrooke deputy Paul Jones to be ambassador to
Malaysia, and deputy assistant secretary for East Asian and Pacific Affairs Scot Marciel to be the next envoy to
Indonesia.
