Memo to Cianchette: No need for LL Bean duds in the rainforest
By Jessica Alaimo
The U.S. Senate Foreign Relations Committee will hold a confirmation hearing for Peter Cianchette Wednesday.
Cianchette was nominated by President Bush in February to be Ambassador to Costa Rica. He is currently the Republican National Committeeman for the Republican Party.
Confirmation hearings start at 2:30 p.m., and Cianchette is fourth on the list. Sen. Susan Collins will introduce Cianchette to the committee – both she and Sen. Olympia Snowe support the nomination.
