The Senate Foreign Relations Committee scheduled a long-delayed vote on the nomination of Donald P. Gregg as ambassador to South Korea for June 20, after Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) assured Democrats that the Administration would provide documents on Gregg’s Iran-Contra role by June 16. It was also announced that the way has been cleared for a vote today on Bernard Aronson to be assistant secretary of state for inter-American affairs, John Kelly to be assistant secretary for Near Eastern and South Asian affairs and John Negroponte to be ambassador to Mexico. The agreement on Gregg was worked out between McConnell and Sen. Alan Cranston (D-Calif.), who has led a Democratic effort to resolve questions about the extent of Gregg’s involvement in Contra aid.
