WASHINGTON – John Bolton planned to ask then-Director of Central Intelligence George Tenet to help punish a government intelligence analyst who disagreed with Mr. Bolton, and then misled a Senate committee about the matter, a Democratic Senate report said yesterday.

Mr. Bolton pushed for months to have the analyst removed from his job or otherwise disciplined but testified under oath at his confirmation hearing to be United Nations ambassador that he “made no effort to have discipline imposed” on the man, according to details revealed for the first time in the report.

“Bolton’s effort to minimize the significance of his efforts is disingenuous,” said the report from Democrats on the Senate Foreign Relations Committee. The document is attached to a short summary of Mr. Bolton’s qualifications and an account of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee’s lengthy investigation prepared by the committee’s Republican chairman, Senator Lugar of Indiana.

The committee investigated allegations about Mr. Bolton’s conduct and temperament for weeks before sending his name on to the full Senate for debate without the customary recommendation of approval.

“The end result of all this is that Secretary Bolton emerged looking better than when it began,” Mr. Lugar wrote to the inquiry.

“There was no evidence to support the most serious charge, that Secretary Bolton sought to manipulate intelligence,” Mr. Lugar said. “He may have disagreed with intelligence findings, but in the end, he always accepted the final judgment of the intelligence community.”

Democrats on the committee oppose Mr. Bolton for the U.N. job, calling him a rigid ideologue ill-suited for the diplomatic post and a bureaucratic infighter who may have misused government intelligence. Their report, prepared for an expected vote on Mr. Bolton’s nomination, recommends that the Senate reject Mr. Bolton’s nomination.

“By itself, Mr. Bolton’s credibility problem on intelligence matters makes him the wrong man for the U.N. job at this critical time,” the Democratic report said. In support of their allegations, the Democrats referred to emails and other documents that have not been publicly released.

Mr. Bolton is only the third diplomatic nominee ever to pass out of the committee without recommendation. It last happened in 1993, in the case of Larry Lawrence, a potential ambassador to Switzerland. Mr. Lawrence was confirmed by the Senate.

The Senate has not scheduled a vote on Mr. Bolton. Senator Boxer, a California Democrat, put a hold on the nomination last Friday, saying she did not want debate to begin in the full Senate until the State Department provided more information requested by Democrats.
