The move, known as a recess appointment, would bypass Bolton's critics in the Senate and would allow him to serve as the American voice before the United Nations until the next session of Congress begins in January 2007. Bush is expected to announce that he will be making the recess appointment next week.

Bush's decision comes amid a final appeal from a group of Democratic senators for Bush to pick someone else and to avoid making a recess appointment.

"In light of the fact that John Bolton was not truthful to the Senate Foreign Relations Committee on the questionnaire he swore was truthful, we ask that you do not make a recess appointment," the senators wrote. "Mr. Bolton's excuse that he 'didn't recall being interviewed by the State Department's inspector general' is simply not believable."
