                    By Senator Jesse Helms, Chairman

                                  and

         Senator Joseph R. Biden, Jr., Ranking Minority Member

                     Committee on Foreign Relations

    From the beginning of the Republic, the process of foreign 
policy formulation in the United States has been unique. For 
most nations, the role of the legislative branch in foreign 
policy is limited to providing a rubber-stamp on the policies 
of the executive. The United States is different. The United 
States Constitution requires the President to seek the Senate's 
``advice and consent'' in the ratification of treaties and the 
approval of ambassadorial nominees. It is an arrangement that 
gives the Senate, and the Committee on Foreign Relations in 
particular, an essential role in the formulation of foreign 
policy.
    Since its founding on December 10, 1816, the Senate 
Committee on Foreign Relations has been at the center of 
foreign policy in America. Six Presidents of the United States 
have served on the Committee: Andrew Jackson, James Buchanan, 
Andrew Johnson, Benjamin Harrison, Warren Harding and John F. 
Kennedy. The Committee has also produced 19 Secretaries of 
State and the names of many of its Chairmen--Arthur Vandenberg, 
Henry Cabot Lodge, William Fulbright--are embossed in the great 
foreign policy debates of this Nation.
    While nearly 200 years have passed since its founding, many 
of the debates within the Committee on Foreign Relations, 
surprisingly, remain the same. In responding to international 
opportunities and challenges, the Committee must deliberate 
between conflict or diplomacy, engagement or isolationism, 
assistance or sanctions, and weigh every option in between. The 
Committee also considers treaties, the authorization of 
appropriations for international affairs, and nominations.
    In the latter half of the twentieth century, new issues vie 
for the Committee's attention. The proliferation of deadly 
weapons and technology, peacekeeping in regional and ethnic 
conflicts, the appropriate role of multilateral institutions, 
international terrorism, trafficking of illegal drugs, and the 
balance between international trade and U.S. moral and national 
security interests are critical issues in today's world. In an 
effort to make available to the public this discussion of 
foreign affairs by Members of the Senate, the Committee 
continues to publish transcripts of hearings held on these and 
other topics, and has produced a historical series based on 
heretofore classified sessions since 1947. These documents 
highlight the contribution of Congress to American foreign 
policy.
    A background document on the Committee was first published 
in 1966 in conjunction with the Committee's 150th anniversary. 
This document, now in its seventh edition, serves as a source 
of information on the Committee's procedures, membership, 
jurisdiction and other matters. It is our hope that this 
revised edition will serve as a useful introduction to the work 
of the Committee.
                   The Committee on Foreign Relations
                      of the United States Senate
    The Constitution of the United States divides 
responsibility for the conduct of American foreign policy 
between the President and Congress, and assigns to the Senate 
specific approval over treaties and nominations. The powers of 
Congress concerning foreign relations are derived from the 
following articles:

      The Constitution of the United States of America (Excerpts)

                        Origins of the Committee
    During its early years the Senate was a small body that met 
often as a committee of the whole. It lacked standing 
committees, except for three which handled routine housekeeping 
duties. When specific issues arose, the Senate appointed ad hoc 
committees to examine them. One source estimates that there 
were ``over 200 separate committees dealing with foreign 
affairs between 1789 and 1816.'' \1\ The titles of these ad hoc 
committees varied, and not until 1812 did the term ``foreign 
relations'' appear in the legislative journals.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
    \1\ James W. Gould, ``The Origins of the Senate Foreign Relations 
Committee,'' Western Political Quarterly, XII (September, 1959).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
    In the first session of the First Congress, President 
George Washington appeared in person before the Senate to seek 
its advice and consent on the terms of a treaty being 
negotiated with the Southern Indians. Unwilling to debate the 
issue or cast a vote in the presence of the President, Senator 
Robert Morris of Pennsylvania moved that the question be 
referred to an ad hoc committee. According to Senator William 
Maclay, after he had seconded the motion, ``the President of 
the United States started up with a violent fret. `This defeats 
every purpose of my coming here' were the first words that he 
said.'' Consideration was postponed for two days when the 
Senate resumed discussion and voted on the questions at hand, 
again with Washington present. This was the President's last 
attempt to participate in Senate deliberations, and thereafter 
presidential communications were generally delivered by written 
message.
    Although the Senate continued to name numerous committees 
each session, certain Senators gained reputations in particular 
fields and were repeatedly named to committees dealing with 
their areas of interest. From 1789 to 1797, nineteen committees 
with a total of sixty-eight members dealt with treaties. Yet 
only twenty-four senators filled those sixty-eight positions. 
Members of the majority Federalist party predominated in the 
early committees dealing with foreign relations.
    By 1816, the increased business of the Senate, especially 
in the handling of nominations, and the pressing needs of 
national defense that had arisen during the War of 1812, moved 
the Senate toward creation of standing committees. On December 
10, 1816, the Senate adopted a resolution introduced by Senator 
James Barbour of Virginia, establishing eleven standing 
committees:

          Resolved, That it shall be one of the rules of the 
        Senate that the following standing committees shall be 
        appointed at each session: a Committee on Foreign 
        Relations, a Committee on Finance, a Committee on 
        Commerce and Manufacturers, a Committee on Military 
        Affairs, a Committee on Militia, a Committee on Naval 
        Affairs, a Committee on Public Lands, a Committee on 
        Claims, a Committee on the Judiciary, a Committee on 
        the Post Office and Post Roads, a Committee on 
        Pensions.

    Three days later, Senator Barbour became the first chairman 
of the new five-member standing Committee on Foreign Relations.
    Since the Foreign Relations Committee was named first in 
the resolution, it has sometimes been referred to as the 
``ranking'' Senate Committee. However, the Senate does not rank 
committees. The only reflection of the relative importance 
attached by the Senate in the recent past to its various 
committees was contained in a Standing Rule of the Senate from 
1969 to the present, that ``no Senator may serve at any time on 
more than one of the following committees: Appropriations, 
Armed Services, Finance, or Foreign Relations.''

                          Historical Overview
    From its beginning, the Foreign Relations Committee 
attracted prominent leaders of the Senate and the nation. Six 
Presidents of the United States have served on the committee: 
Andrew Jackson, James Buchanan, Andrew Johnson, Benjamin 
Harrison, Warren Harding and John Kennedy. So too have nineteen 
Secretaries of State, from Henry Clay to Edmund Muskie.
    Although representing a separate branch of the government, 
the Committee has worked closely with the Department of State. 
During its early years, these relations were enhanced by the 
many Senators who served as Secretary of State. From 1816 to 
1877, all but two of the eighteen Secretaries of State had 
previously served in the Senate and nine had been members of 
the Foreign Relations Committee.
    But that close relationship has not prevented conflict 
between the Executive Branch and the Committee. Early on, the 
Committee's chairmen established that it would not be a rubber 
stamp for administration policies, and often said ``no'' to 
Presidential initiatives. Senator Nathaniel Macon of North 
Carolina, who served as chairman from 1825 to 1829, was a 
fierce opponent of any and all measures to expand the power of 
the new federal government. Indeed, it was said that during his 
entire tenure in Congress, Macon cast more ``no'' votes than 
did any ten other members combined.
    Another influential chairman of that era was Charles Sumner 
of Massachusetts, who served as chairman from 1861 to 1871. 
With administration attention focused on issues of civil war 
and reconstruction, Sumner exerted considerable influence over 
the nation's foreign affairs. During the presidency of Ulysses 
S. Grant, Sumner led the opposition which blocked Grant's 
efforts to annex Santo Domingo. As a result of his break with 
the administration, the Republican Caucus voted to remove 
Sumner as chairman of the Foreign Relations Committee, only the 
second time in the Senate's history when a committee chairman 
was removed against his will.\2\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
    \2\ In 1858 the Democratic Caucus had removed Senator Stephen A. 
Douglas as chairman of the Committee on Territories.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
    In the late nineteenth century the Senate repeatedly 
demonstrated its authority over foreign policy through its 
ratification power. Between 1860 and 1897, the Senate rejected 
ten treaties, four of them with Great Britain. As Secretary of 
State John Hay observed, ``a treaty entering the Senate is like 
a bull going into the arena; no man can say just how or when 
the final blow will fall, but one thing is certain it will 
never leave the arena alive.'' Despite its reputation as a 
``graveyard of treaties,'' however, the Senate ratified the 
overwhelming number of treaties it received.\3\

and Practice (Boston, 1938), 11:570.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
    Many a president has learned the difficult lesson that the 
Executive Branch rarely succeeds when it refuses to compromise 
with the Foreign Relations Committee. By far the most 
monumental struggle between the Committee and the presidency 
occurred when Woodrow Wilson submitted the Treaty of Versailles 
for ratification in 1919. Under the chairmanship of Henry Cabot 
Lodge of Massachusetts, the Foreign Relations Committee agreed 
to report the treaty, but with fourteen reservations drafted by 
Lodge to protect American sovereignty. These included language 
to ensure that the United States remain the judge of its own 
internal affairs; that the United States retain the right to 
withdraw from the League; that the League not restrict any 
individual rights of U.S. citizens; that the United States 
assume no obligation to go to war or deploy military forces 
through the League without consent of Congress; that Congress 
approve all U.S. officials appointed to the League; and that 
Congress control all appropriations of U.S. funds for the 
League.
    But President Wilson refused any compromise with Lodge, 
declaring: ``Never, never! I'll never consent to adopt any 
policy with which that impossible man is so prominently 
identified.'' \4\ Wilson then took his case directly to the 
people in a national speaking tour, during which he suffered a 
stroke. His efforts failed to sway the Senate, which in both 
1919 and 1920 rejected the treaty, and with it its provision 
for American participation in the League of Nations. Wilson 
could have easily won the Senate's consent to join the League 
if he had agreed to compromise with the Committee and accept 
Lodge's reservations.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
    During the two decades following World War I, the Foreign 
Relations Committee often reflected national sentiments for 
isolationism. In the 1920's its chairman, William B. Borah of 
Idaho, led the fight against United States membership in the 
World Court and other internationalist ventures. In the 1930's, 
chairman Key Pittman of Nevada sponsored neutrality legislation 
designed to keep the United States out of European conflicts. 
By 1940, however, such internationalists on the Committee as 
Walter George of Georgia and Tom Connally of Texas were 
successful in efforts to repeal neutrality legislation and to 
enact Lend-Lease and other measures designed to help in the 
struggle against the Axis powers. America's entry into World 
War II, after the attack on Pearl Harbor, converted the 
Committee's leading isolationists to internationalism. On 
January 10, 1945, Senator Arthur Vandenberg of Michigan, a 
leader of Senate isolationists, delivered a ``speech heard 
round the world,'' in which he declared: ``I do not believe 
that any nation hereafter can immunize itself by its own 
executive action.''
    In 1947, Senator Vandenberg became chairman of the Foreign 
Relations Committee and a leading exponent of a bipartisan 
foreign policy. During the 80th Congress, with Republican 
majorities in the Senate and House and a Democratic President 
in the White House, the Senate approved the Marshall Plan, the 
Truman Doctrine, and other major cornerstones of America's 
postwar foreign policy.
    Coincident with Senator Vandenberg's chairmanship, the 
Legislative Reorganization Act of 1946 provided for the first 
professional committee staffs. The Foreign Relations Committee 
selected as its first chief of staff, Dr. Francis O. Wilcox, 
foreign policy specialist for the Legislative Reference 
Service. Prior to appointment of a professional staff, the 
Committee had relied heavily upon the Department of State. As 
Dr. Wilcox observed: ``Speeches had to be written there, 
committee reports to the Senate were prepared by the executive 
branch; there was no mechanism really by which the Senate could 
act independently, or could bring to bear the kind of helpful 
advice and counsel that a professional staff could bring.''
    The bipartisan approach to foreign policy had assumed 
strong presidential leadership in foreign affairs. But events 
during the 1960's, most significantly the growing 
disillusionment over the Vietnam War, led members of the 
Committee to call for increased Senate involvement in the 
making of foreign policy. In June 1969 the Senate adopted a 
``national commitments'' resolution proposed by committee 
chairman J. William Fulbright of Arkansas. This resolution 
defined American national commitments as resulting ``only from 
affirmative action taken by the executive and legislative 
branches of the United States Government by means of a treaty, 
statute, or concurrent resolution of both Houses of Congress, 
specifically providing for such commitment.'' In 1970 Congress 
repealed the Gulf of Tonkin Resolution, which Presidents had 
used as a justification for military intervention in Vietnam. 
And in 1973, over a presidential veto, Congress enacted the War 
Powers Resolution, requiring the President to terminate any 
troop commitment within sixty days unless Congress approved its 
continuation. These actions were designed to restore the shared 
responsibility between the legislative and executive branches 
which the Constitution provides for the conduct of American 
foreign relations.
    In 1986, the Committee took a direct role in U.S. diplomacy 
when Chairman Richard Lugar of Indiana and Senator Paul Laxalt 
of Nevada helped negotiate the departure of Philippine dictator 
Ferdinand Marcos, following the ``People Power'' Revolution. 
And in the late 1980's and early 1990's, Chairman Claiborne 
Pell of Rhode Island forged a bipartisan coalition to enact 
some of the nation's most important and effective non-
proliferation laws, which to this day form the cornerstone of 
U.S. nonproliferation policy.
    In the late 1990's, Chairman Jesse Helms of North Carolina, 
and the Committee's Ranking Member, Senator Joseph R. Biden, 
Jr. of Delaware, together secured enactment of landmark 
legislation to fundamentally reform the U.S. foreign policy 
institutions for the post-Cold War world--shutting down two 
obsolete federal agencies (United States Information Agency 
(USIA) and Arms Control and Disarmament Agency ACDA)) and 
merging their functions into the Department of State and 
bringing a third (United States Agency for International 
Development (USAID)) under the direct control of the Secretary 
of State.
    Chairman Helms, a long-time critic of the United Nations, 
also collaborated with Senator Biden on legislation to pay the 
United States arrears to the United Nations in exchange for the 
U.N.'s agreement to implementation of a series of reform 
benchmarks. On January 21, 2000, Chairman Helms and Senator 
Biden led the Foreign Relations Committee to New York for a 
field hearing on U.N. reform--the first time the Committee had 
ever ventured as a group to visit an international institution. 
The previous day, Chairman Helms became the first sitting 
legislator to make a scheduled address before the United 
Nations Security Council, delivering an address on the United 
States' sovereign prerogatives and the American people's 
expectations for the United Nations reform.
    Accepting an invitation issued by Chairman Helms in that 
address, on March 30, 2000, the entire U.N. Security Council 
came to Capitol Hill for a day of meetings hosted by the 
Foreign Relations Committee. The Ambassadors of the United 
States, United Kingdom, France, Russia, China, Argentina, 
Bangladesh, Canada, Jamaica, Malaysia, Mali, Namibia, 
Netherlands, Tunisia, and Ukraine assembled in the Old Senate 
Chamber for a lecture from the Senate Historian on the Senate's 
unique role in U.S. foreign policymaking, and participated in a 
roundtable discussion of U.N. reform and peacekeeping with 
Committee members in the Committee's hearing room.
    In 1998, the Committee also took up one of the most 
important foreign policy matters to come before the Senate 
since the end of the Cold War--the expansion of NATO to include 
three new members from the former Warsaw Pact: Poland, Hungary 
and the Czech Republic. In stark contrast to President Wilson's 
clash with the Committee over the Treaty of Versailles, the 
approval of NATO expansion was a textbook example of bi-
partisan cooperation between a Democratic Administration and a 
Republican Senate.
    Unlike Wilson, who refused to accept any of the Committee's 
reservations to the Versailles Treaty, the Clinton 
Administration agreed to a series of conditions drafted by 
Senators Helms and Biden addressing a number of Senate concerns 
about the administration's approach to NATO expansion, 
including language requiring that ``the core purpose of NATO 
must continue to be the collective defense of the territory of 
all NATO members'' (rather than peacekeeping and other 
``nonmilitary'' goals); that a ``fire wall'' be built in the 
NATO-Russia relationship to ensure that Russia be given neither 
a voice nor a veto in NATO decisionmaking; and affirming that 
NATO does not require the consent of the United Nations, or any 
other international organization, to take action to defend its 
members' security. These conditions, negotiated following a 
series of eight committee hearings, ensured that by the time 
the expansion protocols reached the full Senate, all the major 
issues of contention had been resolved and the Senate 
overwhelmingly approved NATO expansion.
    However, the Senate said ``no'' to a number of Clinton 
Administration initiatives. Most notably in the 106th Congress, 
the Senate overwhelmingly rejected the Comprehensive Nuclear 
Test Ban Treaty--making it the first arms control treaty ever 
to be voted down in the U.S. Senate.
    The lesson is this: Presidents rarely win when they refuse 
to work with the Foreign Relations Committee, expecting it to 
rubber-stamp their initiatives. By contrast, when they have 
dealt with the Committee in partnership, rather than 
confrontation, they have seen many successes. As Senator Helms 
put it: ``The Senate Foreign Relations Committee has always 
been a source of frustration for utopian idealists in a rush to 
remake the world. And this, I believe is exactly what our 
Founding Fathers intended. The Senate is slow to action by 
design, a brake on impulsive instincts. And the Foreign 
Relations Committee was, I believe, intended to be the Senate's 
brake on foreign policy.''

                               Membership
Size
    The size of the Committee has varied considerably over the 
years. From five members in 1816 it grew, with occasional 
cutbacks, to 23 in 1946 when the Legislative Reorganization Act 
set it at 13. Since then it has been raised to 15 in 1953, to 
17 in 1959, to 19 in 1965, and to 20 in 1987. These increases, 
which were made in most other major standing committees at the 
same time, reflect partly the growing workload of the Committee 
and partly readjustments to the political complexion of the 
Senate--that is to say the numerical ratio of members of the 
majority party to those of the minority. Anticipating the 
eventual enactment of the Legislative Reorganization Act of 
1970 which established the size of the Committee at 15 members, 
the Committee was reduced to that number on January 14, 1969. 
Committee size and ratios are worked out by the party leaders 
with approval by the Senate. Beginning with 1971 the membership 
was as follows:

            16 (92nd Congress, January 28, 1971)
            17 (93rd Congress, January 4, 1973)
            17 (94th Congress, January 19, 1975)
            16 (94th Congress, September 19, 1975)
            15 (96th Congress, January 23, 1979)
            17 (97th Congress, January 5, 1981)
            17 (98th Congress, January 3, 1983)
            18 (98th Congress, February 9, 1984)
            17 (99th Congress, February 21, 1985)
            20 (100th Congress, January 6, 1987)

Election
    The Senate rules provide that the membership on the 16 
standing committees shall be appointed, unless otherwise 
ordered, by ballot at the commencement of each Congress.
    The exact rule follows:

                               Rule XXIV
                       appointment of committees
          1. In the appointment of the standing committees, or 
        to fill vacancies thereon, the Senate, unless otherwise 
        ordered, shall by resolution appoint the chairman of 
        each such committee and the other members thereof. On 
        demand of any Senator, a separate vote shall be had on 
        the appointment of the chairman of any such committee 
        and on the appointment of the other members thereof. 
        Each such resolution shall be subject to amendment and 
        to division of the question. [Rule XXIV of the Standing 
        Rules of the Senate.]

    However, by unanimous consent the usual practice has been 
for the two major parties to submit slates of committee 
assignments for their party members in the form of Senate 
resolutions. The two party slates are normally submitted and 
voted on at the same time. Assignment to committees must take 
into account Rule XXV.4 of the Standing Rules of the Senate 
concerning service on committees.
    The ratio of majority to minority members of committees is 
arrived at prior to the submission of slates by agreement 
between the leaders of the two parties and generally reflects 
the political complexion of the Senate. For example, during the 
80th Congress the Senate was composed of 51 Republicans and 45 
Democrats and the composition of the committee was set at seven 
to six. Following the election in 1980, the Republicans became 
the majority party in the Senate for the first time since 1954 
(53 Republicans, 46 Democrats and one Independent). Therefore, 
the breakdown of the Committee became nine Republicans and 
eight Democrats. At the beginning of 1985, the Senate 
composition was 53 Republicans and 47 Democrats, leaving the 
membership of the Committee unchanged. During the 105th 
Congress, the Senate had 55 Republicans and 45 Democrats and 
the Committee alignment of 10 Republicans and 8 Democrats 
reflected this composition.
    The parties have differing procedures for arriving at their 
slates of nominees for committee membership. On the Republican 
side, the chairman of the Republican Conference appoints a 
committee on committees which in turn recommends assignments 
based on members' preferences and seniority. The Democratic 
caucus, composed of all Senate Democrats, appoints a steering 
committee, on the recommendation of the Democratic leader, 
which decides on the Democratic slate, taking into account the 
preferences of the members, seniority, and the custom of 
assigning two major committee seats to each Democratic Senator. 
Moreover, beginning with the 95th Congress, the Democratic 
caucus had agreed to choose chairmen of the standing committees 
by secret ballot unless waived. Although committees are 
appointed anew each Congress, it is traditional that Senators 
are reappointed to the committee to which they were assigned 
the previous Congress unless they specifically desire 
otherwise, or they have vacated their Senate seat, or party 
ratio changes enough to bump junior members. For example, in 
the 90th Congress, in order to reflect the change in the Senate 
ratio, a Democratic seat occupied by Senator Gale W. McGee was 
reassigned to the Republicans and filled by Senator John 
Sherman Cooper, and in September 1975 Senator Baker lost his 
seat on the Committee as a result of a Democratic victory in 
the New Hampshire election. Following the death of a Democratic 
Senator in late 1983 and the election of a Republican to 
succeed him, the Senate ratio changed and the size of the 
Committee was increased by one Republican in early 1984. 
Finally, after the Republicans obtained a majority following 
the 1994 elections, seats on the Committee were reapportioned 
in accordance with the new ratio allowing Republicans to 
increase their number to ten. Democrats, on the other hand, 
were forced to give up three seats leaving them with eight of 
the Committee's eighteen slots.
Chairman
    The chairman of the Committee is elected on the same slate 
as the Committee members of the majority party and is generally 
the most senior member in terms of Committee service of that 
party's committee slate. Inasmuch as Senate traditions prior to 
1970 prohibited a Senator from occupying more than one 
chairmanship, there have been instances where a lower ranking 
majority member (in terms of committee service) has been 
chairman such as 1941-46, when Senator Connally was chairman of 
the Foreign Relations Committee while two of his seniors on the 
Committee, Senator Walter F. George and Senator Robert F. 
Wagner, presided over the Finance and the Banking and Currency 
Committees, respectively; in 1947-48 when the senior Republican 
member, Senator Capper, was chairman of the Agriculture 
Committee and Senator Vandenberg presided over the Foreign 
Relations Committee; and again in 1985 when Senator Helms, the 
senior Republican, remained as Chairman of the Committee on 
Agriculture, Nutrition and Forestry, and Senator Lugar assumed 
the chairmanship of Foreign Relations. As a result of the 1986 
elections, the Senate leadership changed. At that time, Senator 
Helms exercised his right to the Ranking Minority Member 
position. This tradition was enacted into law by the 
Legislative Reorganization Act of 1970, subject to a 
``grandfather'' clause.
    Standing committees, such as the Committee on Foreign 
Relations, continue and have the power to act until their 
successors are appointed. For instance, although committees 
were not appointed by the Senate in the 88th Congress until 
February 25, 1963, the Foreign Relations Committee began 
meeting and transacting business on January 9, 1963, when 
Congress convened. This also occurred at the beginning of the 
99th Congress, when the Committee held hearings on American 
Foreign Policy, as well as a business meeting, before the vote 
on February 21, 1985 by the Senate to appoint committees. In 
1977 the new Members of the Senate were assigned to committees 
on a temporary basis. Therefore, Senators Zorinsky, Matsunaga 
and Danforth served on Foreign Relations from January 10 until 
February 11, 1977 when permanent Members were appointed.
    A complete listing of Committee members, composition, and 
chairmen is contained in Appendices I, II, and III. The list 
shows interesting party identifications as well, such as Anti-
Democrat, Jeffersonian Democrat, Native American, Oldline Whig, 
Union Republican, Farm-Labor, and Progressive. There are also 
six Presidents, ranging from Andrew Jackson to John F. Kennedy, 
and nine Vice Presidents from John C. Calhoun to Hubert H. 
Humphrey, who have served on the committee. From its membership 
also came 19 Secretaries of State, beginning with Henry Clay 
and the most recent being Edmund S. Muskie. In addition, a 
great many ambassadorships and positions in international 
organizations have been filled by former members of the 
Committee. It should also be pointed out that on April 24, 
1970, Senator J.W. Fulbright exceeded the length of service of 
Senator Shelby Cullom, who served from December 18, 1901 to 
March 4, 1913--the previous record for a Foreign Relations 
Committee chairman.

                              Jurisdiction
    The Constitutional provisions already cited form the basis 
for the Committee's jurisdiction. They are further elaborated 
in Rule XXV.1(j)(1) of the Standing Rules of the Senate as 
follows:

    (j)(1) Committee on Foreign Relations, to which committee 
shall be referred all proposed legislation, messages, 
petitions, memorials, and other matters relating to the 
following subjects;
          1. Acquisition of land and buildings for embassies 
        and legations in foreign countries.
          2. Boundaries of the United States.
          3. Diplomatic service.
          4. Foreign economic, military, technical, and 
        humanitarian assistance.
          5. Foreign loans.
          6. International activities of the American National 
        Red Cross and the International Committee of the Red 
        Cross.
          7. International aspects of nuclear energy, including 
        nuclear transfer policy.
          8. International conferences and congresses.
          9. International law as it relates to foreign policy.
          10. International Monetary Fund and other 
        international organizations established primarily for 
        international monetary purposes (except that, at the 
        request of the Committee on Banking, Housing, and Urban 
        Affairs, any proposed legislation relating to such 
        subjects reported by the Committee on Foreign Relations 
        shall be referred to the Committee on Banking, Housing, 
        and Urban Affairs).
          11. Intervention abroad and declarations of war.
          12. Measures to foster commercial intercourse with 
        foreign nations and to safeguard American business 
        interests abroad.
          13. National security and international aspects of 
        trusteeships of the United States.
          14. Oceans and international environmental and 
        scientific affairs as they relate to foreign policy.
          15. Protection of United States citizens abroad and 
        expatriation.
          16. Relations of the United States with foreign 
        nations generally.
          17. Treaties and executive agreements, except 
        reciprocal trade agreements.
          18. United Nations and its affiliated organizations.
          19. World Bank group, the regional development banks, 
        and other international organizations established 
        primarily for development assistance purposes.
    (2) Such committee shall also study and review, on a 
comprehensive basis, matters relating to the national security 
policy, foreign policy, and international economic policy as it 
relates to foreign policy of the United States, and matters 
relating to food, hunger, and nutrition in foreign countries, 
and report thereon from time to time.

    Every bill, resolution, executive communication, 
nomination, or report falling within these jurisdictional 
limits is referred to the Committee on Foreign Relations. So 
are treaties, ipso facto, regardless of subject matter.
    In cases of conflicting or overlapping jurisdiction, Rule 
XVII of the Standing Rules of the Senate, provides that--

          * * * in any case in which a controversy arises as to 
        the jurisdiction of any committee with respect to any 
        proposed legislation, the question of jurisdiction 
        shall be decided by the Presiding Officer, without 
        debate, in favor of the committee which has 
        jurisdiction over the subject matter which predominates 
        in such proposed legislation; but such decision shall 
        be subject to an appeal.

    As a matter of fact, however, frequently these 
jurisdictional questions have been resolved, under unanimous-
consent agreements, by joint or sequential or simultaneous 
referrals. In other instances more informal methods have been 
used.
    With the exception of the Appropriations Committee, there 
is no standing committee with which the Foreign Relations 
Committee has not shared jurisdiction at one time or another.
Sequential Referrals
    A frequently used procedure is an agreement for the 
sequential referral of bills falling within several 
jurisdictions. Generally speaking, jurisdiction over fisheries 
and maritime issues is shared with the Commerce, Science, and 
Transportation Committee; national security matters with the 
Armed Services Committee; certain legal matters with the 
Judiciary Committee; foreign agricultural policy with the 
Agriculture, Nutrition, and Forestry Committee; and volunteer 
service programs with the Health, Education, Labor, and 
Pensions Committee. Examples of such sequential referrals 
during the 96th Congress were: a bill to establish an Institute 
for Technology and Cooperation (which was referred to 
Governmental Affairs after being reported by Foreign 
Relations); and a bill increasing the U.S. quota in the IMF 
(which was ordered referred to Banking, Housing and Urban 
Affairs after being reported by Foreign Relations). In the 98th 
Congress sequential referrals included a crime control bill and 
one concerning terrorist acts (both with the Judiciary 
Committee).
    Sequential referrals are often coupled with a limitation on 
the time during which the secondary committee(s) must act or 
request the Senate for an extension of time.
Joint Referrals
    The most frequent joint referrals in the past had been with 
the Armed Services Committee and included the early military 
assistance acts, the 1951 Far Eastern investigation prompted by 
the dismissal of General MacArthur, the so-called ``area'' 
resolutions (Formosa, 1955; Middle East, 1957; Cuba, 1962; and 
Tonkin Gulf, 1964 which, to varying degrees, declared the vital 
interests of the United States in the particular area and 
authorized the President to take any steps deemed necessary to 
maintain peace there), and resolutions relating to troop 
deployments in Europe. Joint referrals involving other 
committees dealt with the following subjects: defining the act 
of state doctrine (Judiciary); implementing legislation for the 
International Convention on Civil Liability for Oil Pollution 
Damage (Commerce); add-on retirement benefits (Post Office and 
Civil Service and Armed Services); an amendment to the Trading 
with the Enemy Act concerning trade with North Vietnam 
(Banking, Housing, and Urban Affairs); establishing an Office 
of Foreign Policy and National Security Analysis (Armed 
Services); pertaining to nuclear proliferation (Joint Committee 
on Atomic Energy). In the 96th Congress, an amendment to the 
Foreign Assistance Act and the Public Service Act concerning 
international cooperation in health was jointly referred to 
Labor and Human Resources, Governmental Affairs and Foreign 
Relations; legislation to terminate the Interim Convention of 
North Pacific Fur Seals went jointly to Commerce, Science and 
Transportation and Foreign Relations; and a bill to establish 
an observer program on all fishing vessels was referred jointly 
to Commerce, Science and Transportation, Environment and 
Energy, and Foreign Relations. A new peak in joint referrals 
was reached in 1976 when S. 3637, the proposed ``National 
Materials Policy, Research, and Organization Act,'' was jointly 
referred to 11 standing committees, including Foreign 
Relations.
    One example of legislation referred jointly was S. 1627, 
which dealt with the implementation of the North American Free 
Trade Agreement (NAFTA). Introduced in 1993, this particular 
bill was referred to the committees on Agriculture, Nutrition, 
and Forestry, on Commerce, Science, and Transportation, on 
Foreign Relations, on Governmental Affairs, and on the 
Judiciary.
    On occasion both sequential and joint referrals have been 
used for the same measure, such as the bill for combating 
international terrorism, which, after being reported from the 
Governmental Affairs Committee, was referred jointly to Foreign 
Relations, Commerce, Science and Transportation, Intelligence 
and Judiciary Committees; and the Deep Sea Bed Hard Mineral 
Resources Act, reported from Energy and Natural Resources, 
Commerce, Science and Transportation, and Foreign Relations, 
and then jointly referred to Finance, and Environment and 
Public Works Committees, subject to a time limitation. In 1984, 
authorizing legislation for the intelligence community was 
jointly referred to Foreign Relations and Armed Services for a 
period of 30 days, after it had been reported by the 
Intelligence Committee.
    In the case of joint referrals, committees need not 
necessarily meet together during hearings and markup sessions 
but they must file a joint report setting forth their 
recommendations.
Simultaneous Referrals
    During the 94th Congress for the first time bills were 
referred simultaneously to Foreign Relations and other 
committees, establishing yet another method of dealing with 
jurisdictional problems in the Senate. One bill (S. 3151) would 
establish a program for gathering and analyzing information 
with respect to multinational enterprises and would require 
publication of such material on a regular basis. The unanimous 
consent agreement by which this bill was referred 
``simultaneously'' to the Foreign Relations and Commerce 
committees also specified that ``should either committee report 
the bill, the remaining committee will have 45 calendar days 
within which to file its report.''
    With respect to another item, S. Res. 434, the ``Treaty 
Powers Resolution,'' an order to refer it jointly to the 
committees on Foreign Relations, Rules and Administration, 
Appropriations, Judiciary and Budget was subsequently rescinded 
and the measure was then simultaneously referred to the same 
committees with the exception of Rules and Administration. The 
following colloquy in the Senate of May 6, 1976, clarifies that 
latter order:

          Mr. Griffin. What is the effect of this request?
          The Presiding Officer. The effect will be that each 
        committee to which the bill is referred would be 
        entitled to file a separate report without regard to 
        any other committee or without requiring a joint report 
        of the several committees.
          Mr. Griffin. Whereas under the agreement previously, 
        the several committees had to file a joint report; as I 
        understood it.
          The Presiding Officer. The Senator is correct.
          Mr. Griffin. If one of the named committees, under 
        the request now pending were to report the resolution, 
        would it then go on the calendar, or would it still be 
        pending in the other committee?
          The Presiding Officer. Under the practices of the 
        Senate, that report would be held in abeyance until the 
        other committee report and it would not go on the 
        calendar.
          Mr. Griffin. It would not go on the calendar.
          The Presiding Officer. The Senator is correct.
          Mr. Griffin. I wish to be certain of that because, if 
        it does go on the calendar, this arrangement would, in 
        effect, set up a kind of race among the committees to 
        anyone reporting it. It would then go on the calendar 
        and the referral to the other committee would be 
        academic.
          The Presiding Officer. That has been the practice of 
        the Senate in the past.
          Mr. Griffin. So it would not go on the calendar until 
        the other committees also reported?
          The Presiding Officer. The Senator is correct.

Informal Methods
    Informal methods include invitations to interested Senators 
(Senators not on the Committee who, by virtue of legislative or 
personal interest, have attended hearings on specific topics) 
to participate in the Committee's hearings and ask questions 
without, however, the right to vote in the Committee; 
correspondence with interested committees seeking their views 
on provisions falling within their expertise, as for instance 
with the Joint Committee on Taxation on double taxation 
conventions; or establishment of joint subcommittees as was 
done in 1974 by the Judiciary and Foreign Relations Committees 
to study wiretapping issues arising out of the confirmation 
hearings with Secretary Kissinger. In 1980 two Senators from 
the Foreign Relations Committee were appointed to serve as 
members of the Special Subcommittee of the Judiciary Committee 
to Investigate Activities of Individuals Representing the 
Interests of Foreign Governments, which was created to 
investigate charges involving President Carter's brother.
Intelligence Activities
    Until the creation in 1976 of a Senate Select Committee on 
Intelligence, oversight of intelligence operations was a 
divided responsibility, exercised principally by a joint 
subcommittee of the Appropriations and Armed Services 
Committees. For a time in the late 1960's, members of the 
Foreign Relations Committee were invited to participate in such 
oversight meetings. In 1974, through an amendment to the 
Foreign Assistance Act commonly known as the Hughes-Ryan 
amendment, the Committee was given joint jurisdiction with 
several other committees over certain activities of the Central 
Intelligence Agency relating to covert operations. That 
arrangement, in turn, was superseded by the oversight 
provisions of the Intelligence Authorization Act of 1980, which 
placed the principal responsibility for oversight of 
intelligence activities, including covert operations, under the 
Senate Select Committee on Intelligence.
    The Senate Intelligence Committee was established in 1976 
in the wake of a series of public disclosures regarding 
activities of the CIA. Its creation had been a principal 
recommendation of the temporary Select Committee to Study 
Governmental Operations with respect to intelligence 
activities, chaired by Senator Church. S. Res. 400 mandates 
that at least two members of the Foreign Relations Committee 
are to serve as members of the Senate Select Committee on 
Intelligence. The Committee also is guaranteed referral of the 
Intelligence Authorization bill, if requested. Currently, 
Senator Lugar and Senator Kerry serve as the Committee's 
``cross-over'' members. Under the oversight provision of the 
Intelligence Authorization Act of 1980, Senate and House 
Intelligence Committees are charged to ``promptly call to the 
attention of its respective House, or to any appropriate 
committee or committees of its respective House, any matter 
relating to intelligence activities requiring the attention of 
such House or such committee or committees.''
Transfers of Jurisdiction
    With the informal acquiescence of the Senate, there have 
been instances in which transfers of jurisdiction have taken 
place. For instance, the language of the Reorganization Act of 
1946 assigned to Foreign Relations jurisdiction over 
``international financial and monetary organizations.'' Yet in 
1947 the respective chairmen of the Senate Banking and Currency 
and Foreign Relations committees agreed that since the Banking 
and Currency Committee originally handled the Bretton Woods 
Agreements Act, it would continue to consider legislation 
pertaining to the International Bank for Reconstruction and 
Development and the International Monetary Fund. In 1959, 
however, the Committee on Foreign Relations asserted its 
jurisdiction over these and subsequently established 
organizations such as the International Development 
Association, the Inter-American Development Bank, the 
International Finance Corporation and the Asian Development 
Bank. Conversely, the St. Lawrence Seaway legislation, 
initially referred to the Committee on Foreign Relations since 
agreement with a foreign nation was involved, in time became 
essentially domestic in nature. Thus, jurisdiction over seaway 
legislation has passed to the Environment and Public Works 
Committee, with the Foreign Relations Committee reserving its 
jurisdiction over international aspects.

                 Committee Powers and Responsibilities
    The principal areas of committee responsibilities can be 
broadly broken down as follows: (1) executive--recommending the 
advice and consent to treaties and nominations; (2) 
legislative--consideration of bills and resolutions; and (3) 
legislative oversight. There is, however, no hard and fast 
distinction between these activities since treaties, bills, and 
resolutions cannot be considered without exercising a degree of 
legislative oversight in the process.
War Powers
    The War Powers Resolution was passed in 1973 over the veto 
of President Nixon. The initiative came from Senator Jacob K. 
Javits within the Foreign Relations Committee, where extensive 
hearings were held. The resolution arose out of a concern that 
the power to declare war, as exclusively reserved to the 
Congress by the Constitution in article I, section 8, had 
eroded in modern times with Presidents assuming virtual 
independence from congressional constraints.
    The thrust of the resolution (Public Law 93-148) was to 
insure that the collective judgment of the Congress would be 
brought to bear on decisions involving the activities of United 
States Armed Forces which could lead to ongoing hostilities. It 
established a time limit for any military involvement in 
hostilities which were not affirmatively authorized by 
Congress, as well as a procedure through which the authority of 
Congress could be exercised to terminate U.S. involvement in 
hostilities at any stage. Attention and some disagreement have 
focused on the resolution's provisions concerning Presidential 
consultation with Congress in advance of military initiatives 
and Presidential reporting on the circumstances and 
justification for military actions within 48 hours after their 
occurrence. The Foreign Relations Committee has the principal 
responsibility for oversight of these matters within the 
Senate.
Treaties and Other International Agreements
    Treaties have traditionally constituted a large part of the 
Committee's work.\6\ Recently the number of treaties submitted 
for approval has averaged over 50 per Congress.

United States Senate, (See Appendix VI, Bibliography, page 119).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
    During the postwar period, however, the number and 
importance of executive agreements increased noticeably, 
leading to congressional action in this field to increase 
timely oversight of such agreements.
            (1) Treaties
    Senate responsibility for treaties stems directly from 
article II, section 2, clause 2 of the Constitution, which 
states that the President ``shall have Power, by and with the 
Advice and Consent of the Senate, to make Treaties, provided 
two-thirds of the Senators present concur.''
    The making of treaties involves a series of steps which 
generally include negotiation, signing, approval by the Senate, 
ratification by the President, deposit or exchange of 
ratifications with the other party(ies) to the treaty, and 
proclamation. Only upon the latter step does a treaty become 
legally binding upon the United States. The Senate is 
associated in this process principally at the ``advice and 
consent'' to ratification stage. Contrary to popular 
impression, the Senate does not ratify treaties; the President 
ratifies treaties upon receiving the advice and consent of the 
Senate to ratification.
    While the emphasis historically has been on the ``consent'' 
part of this clause, beginning in the immediate postwar period 
the Committee has repeatedly stressed the ``advice'' part and 
claimed a right to advise the President in the negotiation of 
treaties and the conduct of diplomacy. This interest has at 
times led to the formal adoption of Senate resolutions of 
advice, which are briefly discussed elsewhere.
    In performing its consent function to treaties the Senate 
has several options. Normally, the procedure for unconditional 
approval of a treaty is by adoption of a resolution of 
ratification which in the case of the limited nuclear test ban 
treaty reads as follows:

          Be it resolved (two-thirds of the Senators present 
        concurring therein), That the Senate advise and consent 
        to the ratification of the treaty banning nuclear 
        weapon tests in the atmosphere, in outer space, and 
        under water, which was signed at Moscow on August 5, 
        1963, on behalf of the United States of America, the 
        United Kingdom of Great Britain and North Ireland, and 
        the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics.

    Conditions and stipulations.--The Senate may also qualify 
its approval of a treaty by requiring amendments to the text of 
the treaty itself, or more frequently, by imposing conditions 
known as reservations, understandings, declarations or 
provisos. The vehicle for this Senate action is the resolution 
of ratification, accession or acceptance which accompanies the 
treaty to the Senate floor from the Committee on Foreign 
Relations. According to generally accepted definitions, 
``amendments'' and ``reservations'' are proposed revisions in 
the obligations undertaken by the United States. ``Amendments'' 
are proposed changes in the actual text of the treaty. 
``Reservations'' are specific qualifications or stipulations 
which change U.S. obligations without necessarily changing 
treaty text. ``Amendments'' and ``reservations'' imposed by the 
Senate must be included in the U.S. instrument of treaty 
ratification in order to provide notice to our treaty partners 
of the Senate action. If the President or a treaty partner 
disagrees with the Senate's conditions, renegotiation of the 
treaty, consultations among the parties, or other action may be 
taken to resolve differences.
    In contrast, ``understandings'' are interpretative 
statements intended to clarify or elaborate, rather than amend, 
treaty text or undertakings. ``Understandings'' provide 
importance guidance to treaty partners, U.S. judges or other 
parties who may find it necessary to construe the Senate's 
intent concerning the relevant treaty. Generally, 
``understandings'' must also be included in the relevant U.S. 
instrument of ratification to ensure that our treaty partner 
understands the Senate's positions.
    ``Declarations,'' ``provisos,'' or other statements also 
reveal the Senate's position, opinion or intentions about 
matters related to the treaty in question, but generally not 
about its specific provisions. ``Declarations,'' ``provisos,'' 
and like statements are generally omitted from the instruments 
of treaty ratification which the U.S. government deposits with 
treaty partners in order to bring treaties into force, because 
they do not affect the treaty relationship to the same extent 
as ``amendments'' or ``understandings.''
    In recent years, the Senate made extensive use of 
conditions in approving treaties. For example, in approving the 
Chemical Weapons Convention, it included 28 conditions in the 
resolution of ratification. Resolutions for several other 
treaties, including the Convention on Nuclear Safety, the 
Amended Mines Protocol, and the Flank Document Agreement to the 
CFE Treaty, also contained significant conditions relating to a 
variety of issues. The Senate also made extensive use of such 
conditions with the Panama Canal treaties in 1978 and the SALT 
II Treaty in 1979. The final resolution of ratification on the 
first Panama Canal Treaty, the so-called ``Neutrality Treaty,'' 
included two amendments, six reservations, and five 
understandings, while the second treaty was approved with six 
reservations and six understandings. In the Committee's 
consideration of the SALT II Treaty, a somewhat different 
format was used for the resolution of ratification, but the 
total number of conditions and stipulations reported by the 
Committee was more than twenty.
    In addition, during the chairmanship of Senator Jesse 
Helms, the Committee on Foreign Relations routinely included a 
variety of additional conditions corresponding to several 
different kinds of treaties. For example, with extradition or 
mutual legal assistance treaties, conditions were included to 
forbid United States cooperation with the eventual 
International Criminal Court contemplated in the July 17, 1998 
Rome Statute, or release of information to foreign officials 
suspected of involvement in narcotics trafficking. Treaties 
reported by the Committee on Foreign Relations during Senator 
Helms' chairmanship also include routinely a proviso 
reiterating the supremacy of the United States Constitution.
    To emphasize the Senate's strong views about the principles 
of treaty interpretation, by the end of the 106th Congress, the 
Committee also routinely included in all resolutions of 
ratification a declaration incorporating by reference the 
principles of treaty interpretation set forth in Condition (1) 
of the resolution of ratification of the INF Treaty, approved 
by the Senate on May 27, 1988, and Condition (8) of the 
resolution of ratification of the Document Agreed Among the 
States Parties to the Treaty on Conventional Armed Forces in 
Europe, approved by the Senate on May 14, 1997. This condition, 
known as the ``Biden-Byrd Condition,'' sets forth the 
constitutional principle that treaty interpretation will be 
governed by the ``shared understandings'' of the Executive and 
the Senate, as reflected in the Executive's formal 
representations to the Senate at the time the Senate gives its 
advice and consent.
    The Senate may also reject a treaty completely by failing 
to approve it with the necessary two-thirds vote. Few treaties 
have been rejected over the years. In the 106th Congress, on 
October 13, 1999, the Senate rejected the Comprehensive Nuclear 
Test-Ban Treaty. On March 8, 1983, the Senate rejected the 
Montreal Protocols to the Warsaw Convention on passenger 
carriage by air. The only other treaties rejected by the Senate 
during the last century were the protocol to the 1958 Geneva 
Law of the Sea Convention concerning the compulsory settlement 
of disputes which was rejected on May 26, 1960 by a vote of 49 
to 30; U.S. adherence to the Permanent Court of International 
Justice, which was rejected on January 29, 1935, by a vote of 
52 to 36; and the St. Lawrence Seaway, which was rejected on 
March 14, 1934, by a vote of 46 to 42. (The Seaway was 
subsequently authorized by Public Law 83-358, approved May 13, 
1954.)

    Procedure.--Before formal Senate consideration of a treaty 
may begin, the treaty must be transmitted to the Senate by the 
President for advice and consent. All treaties transmitted by 
the President to the Senate for advice and consent are referred 
to the Committee. Treaties conceivably could remain on the 
Committee calendar indefinitely absent action to approve them, 
reject them, or to return them to the President. Treaties 
reported by the Committee remain on the Senate's Executive 
Calendar for the duration of a Congress, or until otherwise 
disposed of. At the end of a Congress, treaties which remain on 
the Senate's Executive Calendar are automatically re-referred 
to the Committee in accordance with Senate Rule XXX.2.
    From time to time, Presidents may request the return of 
treaties pending before the Committee or the Senate, or the 
Committee itself may take the initiative to return certain 
treaties to the President. In either case, the usual procedure 
is for the Committee to report an executive resolution to the 
full Senate authorizing the return of the treaty or treaties to 
the President. That procedure is unusual, and was followed most 
recently in the 106th Congress, when the Committee reported 
Senate Resolution 267, directing the return of eighteen 
treaties to the President. Senate action on reservations, 
understandings, interpretations, statements, or amendments 
requires a majority of those present and voting. Final adoption 
of the resolution of ratification, however, requires the 
affirmative vote of two-thirds of the Senators present and 
voting.
    While there is no Senate rule requiring a roll call vote on 
treaties, the practice of taking record votes was begun in 1953 
after press attention during the previous year to the fact that 
three noncontroversial consular conventions were approved by 
the Senate at a time when only two Senators were present.\7\ 
The requirement for a record vote was also a part of the 
Bricker amendment maneuvers and was adopted as a de facto 
practice to weaken support for the Bricker amendment. However, 
in recent years, the Senate has resumed the practice of 
approving non-controversial resolutions of ratification for 
treaties by voice vote.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
    \7\ A discussion of this incident appears in ``A Note on Treaty 
Ratification,'' by Carl Marcy in The American Political Science Review, 
vol. XLVII, No. 4, December 1953, p. 1130.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
    Although generally there is a separate vote on each treaty, 
when a large number of similar treaties (fisheries, double 
taxation conventions, customs treaties, etc.) is on the 
executive calendar it has become a practice to consider them 
either ``en bloc''--that is, one vote on several resolutions of 
ratification--or to have a single vote, which, by unanimous 
consent, is shown separately in the Record for each treaty. 
This latter technique has been used at times even in the case 
of dissimilar treaties, over which no controversy existed, in 
order to expedite the business of the Senate.
    The Committee's treaty calendar is not necessarily an 
accurate reflection of the pending business before the 
Committee, because some treaties may have little prospect of 
Senate action. For instance, in 1947, at the beginning of the 
80th Congress, the Committee had 24 treaties pending before it, 
dating as far back as 1923. At the request of the chairman, 
Senator Vandenberg, the administration reviewed the treaty 
calendar and requested the return of 19 of these treaties, 
which was granted. These reviews have continued to take place 
from time to time as the occasion demands. At the close of the 
106th Congress, the oldest treaty pending on the Committee's 
calendar dated to August 27, 1949 (Treaty Doc. 81-19).
    Although treaties sometimes pend before the Committee for 
considerable periods, the great majority of treaties are 
promptly and favorably disposed of. In this connection, it has 
become the Committee's practice to leave a treaty pending for a 
sufficient period to allow the public time to study the treaty 
and to inform the Committee of its views and interest in 
testifying on the treaty in question.
            (2) Other International Agreements
    International agreements other than treaties--so-called 
executive agreements--have been used by Presidents since the 
earliest days of the Republic. Beginning with World War II the 
number and importance of such agreements burgeoned, leading to 
an increasing concern on the part of Congress about the 
constitutionality of commitments made in this manner. The loose 
use of the word ``commitment'' to justify overseas 
interventions finally led the Senate, on June 25, 1969, to 
adopt a statement of what it considered to be a ``national 
commitment.'' The problem was explored in hearings and 
executive session consideration over a period beginning in 
1967. These touched on such subjects as the 1940 destroyer-for-
bases deal, the British-French-United States tripartite 
declaration of 1950 on the Middle East, the so-called 
contingency plan for Thailand, and base agreements. In 1969, 
the Senate concurred in the Committee's recommendation of the 
``National Commitments Resolution,'' which resolved:

          That (1) a national commitment for the purpose of 
        this resolution means the use of the Armed Forces of 
        the United States on foreign territory, or a promise to 
        assist a foreign country, government, or people by the 
        use of the Armed Forces or financial resources of the 
        United States, either immediately or upon the happening 
        of certain events, and (2) it is the sense of the 
        Senate that a national commitment by the United States 
        results only from affirmative action taken by the 
        executive and legislative branches of the United States 
        Government by means of a treaty, statute, or concurrent 
        resolution of both Houses of Congress specifically 
        providing for such commitment. (S. Res. 85, 91st Cong.)

    One of the first concrete instances to engage the 
Committee's attention after adoption of the National Commitment 
Resolution was the extension of the so-called Spanish base 
agreement on August 6, 1970. As the Committee viewed it, this 
agreement contained an implicit commitment to defend Spain in 
the event of an attack, as well as substantial financial 
support for the Spanish Government. The Committee felt strongly 
that the agreement partook of the nature of a treaty and should 
be submitted to the Senate for advice and consent, and so 
advised the State Department. The executive branch proceeded 
otherwise, however, and after a series of executive and public 
hearings in which the Committee was assured that the agreement 
entailed no U.S. commitment to defend Spain, the Senate, on the 
Committee's recommendation, adopted a resolution (S. Res. 469, 
91st Cong., agreed to December 11, 1970) stating its sense that 
``nothing in the said agreement * * * shall be deemed to be a 
national commitment by the United States.'' In time, however, 
the Senate's expressions were taken into account and the 
renewal of the Spanish base agreement was submitted as a treaty 
in 1976.
    The Case Act of 1972 (P.L. 92-403) addressed itself 
directly to executive agreements and provides in part--

          The Secretary of State shall transmit to the Congress 
        the text of any international agreement (including the 
        text of any oral international agreement, which 
        agreement shall be reduced to writing), other than a 
        treaty, to which the United States is a party as soon 
        as practicable after such agreement has entered into 
        force with respect to the United States but in no event 
        later than sixty days thereafter.

In the event such agreements are classified, they are to be 
transmitted instead to the Committees on Foreign Relations of 
the Senate and International Relations of the House under an 
appropriate injunction of secrecy.
    The Committee viewed the Act as ``a significant step toward 
redressing the imbalance between Congress and the executive in 
the making of foreign policy * * * '' and ``an effective means 
of dealing with the prior question of secrecy and of asserting 
the obligation of the executive to report its foreign 
commitments to Congress.''
    In 1978, the Case Act was further amended to make clear the 
inclusion of oral agreements, to designate the Secretary of 
State as the official within the executive branch who decides 
what constitutes an international agreement, and to require a 
formal explanation from the President when agreements are not 
properly transmitted before the sixty-day deadline. Contrary to 
a widespread public perception, however, the Case Act does not 
provide for congressional veto of international agreements and 
does not require affirmative action by the Congress to approve 
international agreements before they enter into force.
Nominations
    The Committee's responsibility with respect to nominations, 
like that with respect to treaties, arises from article II, 
section 2, paragraph 2, of the Constitution (previously cited, 
page 3, above).
    Pursuant to this provision, the Senate refers to the 
Committee nominations of officials to positions in the 
Department of State, ambassadors and ministers, representatives 
to international organizations, and officials to other 
positions established by laws which are within the jurisdiction 
of the Committee. These include positions in the Agency for 
International Development, the Peace Corps, U.S. 
representatives in the various international banking 
institutions, and advisory bodies to these agencies. 
Appointments, promotions, and designations of Foreign Service 
Officers, as well, are referred to the Committee on Foreign 
Relations and constitute the bulk, numerically, of the 
nominations handled. For instance, in the 106th Congress, 
approximately 2000 nominations were referred to the Committee 
of which nearly 1800 were career officer promotions.
    A detailed description of the confirmation requirements and 
processes, together with relevant case histories, is set forth 
in the committee print, ``The Senate Role in Foreign Affairs 
Appointments.'' \8\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
    \8\ The Senate Role in Foreign Affairs Appointments, (See Appendix 
VI, bibliography, page 119).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
    Available Committee records do not show the last time the 
Senate rejected a nomination within the jurisdiction of the 
Foreign Relations Committee. It may have been in 1889 when 
``the Senate refused to confirm Benjamin Harrison's nomination 
of Murat Halstead, an Ohio journalist, as Minister to Germany, 
because of a series of articles he had written denouncing the 
purchase of Senate seats.'' \9\ However, one nominee, Ernest W. 
Lefever, withdrew his own name from consideration as Assistant 
Secretary of State for Human Rights and Humanitarian Affairs 
after an adverse vote in Committee in June 1981. In March 1983, 
the nomination of Kenneth Adelman to be U.S. Arms Control and 
Disarmament Agency (ACDA) Director was reported unfavorably by 
the Committee, but was approved by the Senate by a vote of 57-
42. Other nominations have been withdrawn by the President as a 
result of controversies surrounding them, while still others 
have simply not been acted on by the Committee or the Senate, 
as, for instance, the withdrawal in 1973 of the nomination of 
G. McMurtrie Godley to be Assistant Secretary of State for East 
Asian and Pacific Affairs, and the non-action in 1974 on the 
nomination of Graham Martin to be Ambassador at Large for 
Micronesian negotiations and five others to be members of the 
Arms Control and Disarmament Agency's General Advisory 
Committee. More recently, in 1997 the nomination of William 
Weld to be Ambassador to Mexico was withdrawn after the 
chairman prevailed in his decision not to schedule a hearing on 
the nomination.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
    \9\ Harris, The Advice and Consent of the Senate, p. 291 (See 
Appendix VI, bibliography, page 119).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
    All nominations not confirmed or rejected by the end of a 
session lapse with the adjournment or recess of the Senate for 
more than 30 days, unless otherwise ordered by the Senate. The 
President has the power to issue recess appointments when he 
deems it desirable. Such recess appointments, however, have to 
be submitted to the Senate not later than 40 days after the 
commencement of the next session in order for the incumbent to 
continue to receive a salary (5 U.S.C. 5503).
    The Committee on Foreign Relations has been continually 
interested in the caliber and qualifications of nominees. The 
rules adopted by the Committee to govern its consideration of 
nominations appear on page 30.
    On January 14, 1953, the Committee adopted a rule requiring 
an FBI investigation of nominees prior to the submission of 
names to the Senate. Only twice has the question of Committee 
access to the FBI files themselves come up. In the first case, 
that of Charles E. Bohlen in 1953, a subcommittee of two 
Senators reviewed a summary of the FBI file. In the second, 
that of Helmut Sonnenfeldt in 1973, a staff member was 
authorized to review his security files. In 1981, however, the 
Committee adopted a policy of requesting access for any member 
of the Committee who wished to review summaries of such files.
    On February 17, 1953, the Committee adopted a six-day rule, 
which calls for the passage of six calendar days after the 
receipt of a nomination by the Senate before the Committee will 
consider the nomination. This rule has been waived 
occasionally, mainly in the case of career appointments when 
the nominee was already abroad, in situations of urgent need to 
get the nominee to his post, or in the case of nominations 
received just before congressional adjournment.
    At about the same time, in 1953 the Committee commenced the 
practice of examining the appointees to all important positions 
in Washington and abroad whenever possible. Prior to this time 
hearings, executive or open, were held on a nomination only 
when someone requested to be heard on the nomination, and not 
as a matter of regular procedure. The practice initiated in 
1953 was acknowledged and further refined on July 30, 1957, 
when the Committee adopted a motion ``that from now on all 
nominees for ambassadorial and ministerial posts be heard in 
open session unless a majority of the Committee decrees 
otherwise.'' By custom, the Committee has allowed any committee 
members to request that any nominee be held off the agenda of a 
business meeting with the understanding that the nominee would 
be considered at the next meeting.
    In 1972 the Committee increased the number of nominations 
to be submitted to it by providing that the names of all 
persons granted the rank of ambassador be submitted for 
confirmation ``except that the personal rank of ambassador or 
minister may be conferred by the President in connection with 
special missions for the President of an essentially limited 
and temporary nature of not exceeding six months.'' That 
provision was further modified by the Foreign Service Act of 
1980 to require advance notice of Presidential intent to 
nominate such ambassadors with personal rank and to provide 
justifications for these appointments.
    The age-old question of political contributions by 
ambassadorial nominees was dealt with in the Department of 
State Authorization Act of 1973 (Public Law 93-126, signed 
October 18, 1973). Sec. 6 of that act required that each person 
appointed by the President as ambassador or minister should 
file a report of contributions made by such persons and by 
members of his immediate family. The Act of 1974 added the 
further requirement that ``The Chairman of the Committee on 
Foreign Relations of the Senate shall have printed in the 
Congressional Record each such report.''
    However, these provisions were revised by the Foreign 
Service Act of 1980 (Public Law 96-465, signed October 17, 
1980). Sec. 304(b)(2) of that act provides that:

          Each individual nominated by the President to be a 
        chief of mission, ambassador at large, or minister 
        shall, at the time of nomination, file with the 
        Committee on Foreign Relations of the Senate and the 
        Speaker of the House of Representatives a report of 
        contributions made by such individual and by members of 
        his or her immediate family during the period beginning 
        on the first day of the fourth calendar year preceding 
        the calendar year of the nomination and ending on the 
        date of the nomination. The report shall be verified by 
        the oath of the nominee, taken before any individual 
        authorized to administer oaths. The chairman of the 
        Committee on Foreign Relations of the Senate shall have 
        each such report printed in the Congressional Record. 
        As used in this paragraph, the term ``contribution'' 
        has the same meaning given such term by section 301(8) 
        of the Federal Election Campaign Act of 1971 (2 U.S.C. 
        431(8)) and the term ``immediate family'' means the 
        spouse of the nominee, and any child, parent, 
        grandparent, brother, or sister of the nominee and the 
        spouses of any of them.

    Section 304(4) of the 1980 Act also established the new 
requirement that:

          (4) The President shall provide the Committee on 
        Foreign Relations of the Senate with each nomination 
        for an appointment as a chief of mission, a report on 
        the demonstrated competence of that nominee to perform 
        the duties of the position in which he or she is to 
        serve.

The report of demonstrated competence, which sets forth the 
rationale for the selection and assignment of the chief of 
mission, is now provided to the Committee as a matter of 
regular course by the State Department prior to the scheduling 
of the prospective nominee's confirmation hearing.
    Subsequent amendments to the Federal Election Campaign Act 
of 1971 also provided for reporting campaign contributions and 
overlap to a certain degree those of the Foreign Relations 
Authorization Act.
    At present, the Committee requires each nominee to file a 
signed statement prior to his confirmation hearing, covering 
the following areas: (A) Biographical Information, (B) 
Financial Information (including a confidential statement), (C) 
Future Employment Plans, (D) Conflict of Interest, and (E) 
Ethical Matters.
Bills and Resolutions
    Since the document, ``How a Bill Becomes a Law,'' issued 
periodically by Congress, describes the legislative process in 
detail, only a few aspects of it will be noted here.
    Legislative matters are comprised of bills, joint 
resolutions, concurrent resolutions and resolutions. Bills and 
joint resolutions both become law upon signature by the 
President and therefore carry equal weight. The basic 
distinction between them is a matter of intent. Bills are the 
most widely used legislative vehicles; joint resolutions are 
used mainly for the approval of international agreements, 
membership in international organizations, and expressing views 
of both Houses of Congress that are meant to have the force of 
law. Concurrent and simple resolutions express the sense of the 
Congress in the former case and the sense of the Senate or the 
House in the latter case. They do not require signature by the 
President and therefore do not have the force of law.
    Simple resolutions, while in a sense the lowest form of 
congressional action, can at times carry considerable weight, 
such as the Connally and Fulbright resolutions of 1943 pledging 
U.S. participation in a post World War II international 
organization; the Vandenberg resolution of 1948 which presaged 
the formation of NATO; and the National Commitments Resolution 
of 1969 which defined what the Senate will consider to be a 
commitment binding on the United States. In fact one Senate 
resolution was deemed to be so important as to have the nature 
of a treaty requiring a two-thirds vote for adoption--the 1946 
resolution by which the Senate advised the President to accept 
on behalf of the United States the compulsory jurisdiction of 
the International Court of Justice in certain matters. The use 
of Senate resolutions to advise the President, under the advice 
and consent clause of the Constitution, has become relatively 
widespread in the postwar period, as previously noted.
    To give such advice the maximum weight possible, the 
Committee has made it a practice to append a provision 
directing the Secretary of the Senate to transmit the 
resolution to the President for appropriate action and for a 
report on such action to the Senate within a specified time 
period.
    The most important recurring legislative responsibilities 
of the Committee are the bi-annual authorization bills for 
agencies and programs under the Committee's jurisdiction--
principally the State Department, Agency for International 
Development, Peace Corps, and the Overseas Private Investment 
Corporation. With the enactment of the Congressional Budget Act 
of 1974, all standing committees are required to submit to the 
Committee on the Budget, by March 15 each year, their estimates 
of the total amounts of new budget authority to be provided in 
such authorizing legislation, in order to enable the Senate, by 
May 15, to pass the first concurrent resolution on the Budget, 
setting levels of government spending and revenue for the 
fiscal year ahead. All authorizing legislation must also be 
reported to the Senate by the same date. Any money-carrying 
bills reported after May 15 are subject to a point of order 
unless a waiver is obtained by the adoption of a resolution by 
the Senate. These new procedures, which went fully into effect 
in 1976, are designed to give the Congress a better overview of 
the expected outlays and also revenues for the upcoming year. 
They have also affected the Committee's scheduling of 
legislation and other matters to give early priority to the so 
called money bills.
    Committee procedures with respect to bills, joint, 
concurrent and simple resolutions are the same.
    The Committee files written reports on major matters it 
sends to the Senate. Pursuant to the Foreign Relations 
Committee (and Senate procedures), Committee reports are 
technically prepared and submitted by the Chairman of the 
Committee. Therefore the Chairman maintains the ``power of the 
pen'' in drafting reports of the Foreign Relations Committee 
and there technically is no requirement for the Chairman to 
consult with the ranking member, or with any other Senator, in 
the preparation of such documents. Senators who do not concur 
with the views expressed by the Chairman in the Committee 
report, or who wish to add additional views of their own, are 
afforded the opportunity to append their views as separate and 
distinct annexes to the actual report.
    However, as a practical matter, most committee reports are 
negotiated with the ranking member and reflect his views, in 
addition to those of the Chairman. It has been the practice in 
recent years to allow clear differentiation of views on 
contentious issues within the main text of the report, rather 
than shunting alternate views into appendices to the Chairman's 
report. Examples of this include Exec. Rept. 104-10, the 
Committee's report on the resolution of ratification for START 
II that reflects differing views on the merits of the 1972 
Anti-Ballistic Missile Treaty and on the importance of missile 
defense.
    In the case of the Committee report that was submitted in 
connection with the resolution of ratification for the Chemical 
Weapons Convention (Exec. Rept. 104-33), the Chairman allowed 
proponents of the treaty to prepare their own section of the 
report and to title it ``Majority Views.'' The Chairman, who 
opposed the treaty, prepared an alternate section of the report 
and titled it ``Minority Views.'' This unusual formulation was 
proposed by Senator Helms since he had agreed to schedule 
Committee consideration of the CWC despite his personal 
objections to this treaty. The Chairman nevertheless maintains 
final decisionmaking authority over the contents of all aspects 
of any Committee report (other than Minority or Additional 
Views). However, the Committee in recent years has sought to 
reflect the general practice of comity among Senators, even on 
issues as contentious as the Chemical Weapons Convention.
    Occasionally the Committee has filed adverse reports, 
recommending that a measure not be adopted. Senate Resolution 
116, by Senator Joe McCarthy of Wisconsin, would have expressed 
the sense of the Senate that prior to any conference between 
heads of state (referring to the proposed Geneva Summit 
Conference in 1955), the Secretary of State should secure the 
agreement of other parties at the Conference that one of the 
subjects for discussion should be the present and future status 
of the nations of Eastern Europe and Asia then under Communist 
control. The Committee's adverse finding was sustained by the 
Senate on June 22, 1955, by a vote of 4 to 77. Instances of 
adverse Committee reports were on a concurrent resolution 
disapproving of the proposed sale of F-16 aircraft to Pakistan 
in 1981, a joint resolution dealing with nuclear arms 
reductions in 1983, and a joint resolution concerning sales of 
avionics system kits to China in 1986. It should be noted that 
the Senate does not always sustain the Committee's adverse 
finding.
    As a general rule, measures of which the Committee does not 
approve are either tabled, held over, or postponed without any 
written explanation. However, in October 1983, the Committee 
reported unfavorably two joint resolutions concerning nuclear 
arms control. While portions of the resolutions were considered 
by the Senate, action on the resolutions was not taken.
    The Committee has occasionally reported a measure without 
recommendation, such as: the first International Wheat 
Agreement in 1948; a St. Lawrence Seaway bill in 1952; in 1965 
H.R. 30, a bill authorizing U.S. participation in a cultural 
and trade center in Florida; in 1968, an amendment to the 
Agriculture Act of 1956 relating to long-staple cotton, which 
was subsequently pocket-vetoed; S. Con. Res. 86 relating to 
sales of armaments to Egypt, Israel and Saudi Arabia in 1978; 
in 1979 a concurrent resolution opposing sanctions against 
Zimbabwe-Rhodesia; in 1981 a bill seeking a particular form of 
legislative settlement for outstanding property claims against 
the Government of Czechoslovakia. In 1999, legislation was 
introduced by Senator John McCain that was determined by the 
Senate Parliamentarian to have met the standard of the War 
Powers Resolution. Rather than allow the legislation to be 
automatically discharged from the Foreign Relations Committee, 
the committee met to consider the legislation, and reported it 
without recommendation.
Legislative Oversight Activities
    The Committee on Foreign Relations, along with other 
standing committees, is specifically charged with exercising 
legislative oversight by Rule XXVI of the Standing Rules of the 
Senate, which reads as follows:

          8. (a) In order to assist the Congress in--
                  (1) its analysis, appraisal, and evaluation 
                of the application, administration, and 
                execution of the laws enacted by the Congress, 
                and
                  (2) its formulation, consideration, and 
                enactment of such modifications of or changes 
                in those laws, and of such additional 
                legislation, as may be necessary or 
                appropriate,

        each standing committee (except the committees on 
        Appropriations and the Budget), shall review and study, 
        on a continuing basis, the application, administration, 
        and execution of those laws, or parts of laws, the 
        subject matter of which is within the legislative 
        jurisdiction of that committee. Such committees may 
        carry out the required analysis, appraisal, and 
        evaluation themselves, or by contract, or may require a 
        Government agency to do so and furnish a report thereon 
        to the Senate. Such committees may rely on such 
        techniques as pilot testing, analysis of costs in 
        comparison with benefits or provision for evaluation 
        after a defined period of time.
          (b) In each odd-numbered year each such committee 
        shall submit, not later than March 31, to the Senate, a 
        report on the activities of that committee under this 
        paragraph during the Congress ending at noon on January 
        3 of such year.

    It has already been noted that in recent years the 
Committee's legislative oversight activities have burgeoned. 
This has resulted from a variety of factors--the increasing 
number of programs within the Committee's jurisdiction, the 
numerous provisions in laws requiring the submission of 
determinations and reports, the transmittal of executive 
agreements as of 1973 and of budget rescissions and deferrals 
as of 1975, the notifications of proposed arms sales and arms 
transfers, reporting under the War Powers Resolution, 
submission of arms control impact statements, and other 
factors.
    A few statistics will serve to illustrate this growth. 
During the 92d Congress, 83 communications from the executive 
branch in the foreign affairs area were received by the Senate 
and referred to the Foreign Relations Committee. This number 
increased to 184 in the 93d Congress and reached over 500 at 
the end of the 106th Congress. During the 93rd Congress, 396 
executive agreements (not including classified agreements) were 
referred to the Committee; in the 98th Congress this number 
jumped to 461 and stood at approximately 300 by the end of the 
106th Congress. Thirty-one messages advising of budget 
rescissions and deferrals had been received during the 94th 
Congress as against none the previous Congresses. During the 
106th Congress, approximately 11 messages advising of budget 
rescissions and deferrals were received. Finally, in the 94th 
Congress, the Committee had received over 250 reports required 
by provisions of various laws whereas in the 106th Congress 
well over 2100 reports were received.
    The Committee is responsible for having this mass of 
material analyzed and for proposing remedial action where 
deemed necessary. Such action can take the form of amendments 
to existing laws or by means of a resolution of disapproval, as 
is provided for in such laws as the Arms Export Control Act. 
This area of Committee operations is largely invisible since 
only when some question is raised about an executive branch 
proposal does public action result, as for instance over the 
projected sale of Hawk missiles to Jordan and of Airborne 
Warning Aircraft to NATO in 1976 or armaments to Israel, Egypt, 
and Saudi Arabia in 1978, and again to Saudi Arabia in 1981.
    The Committee has developed varying techniques in 
exercising legislative oversight: scrutiny of foreign aid 
allocations and arms sales through the congressionally mandated 
notification process; day-to-day personal contacts with 
administration officials; correspondence with officials growing 
out of difficulties brought to the Committee's attention by the 
public or Government employees (a collection of such 
correspondence relating to the State Department was published 
in 1960 under the title ``Administration of the Department of 
State'' and supplemented in 1962); on-the-spot inspections 
abroad by Committee members or staff (generally followed by 
reports, either printed or confidential, to the Committee); 
special short-term studies of foreign policy problems (such as 
the investigation of events relating to the Dominican Republic 
intervention in 1965, U.S. security interests and policies in 
Southwest Asia in 1980, military presence in Panama in 1997, 
and the multiple afflictions facing Sudan in 1998); public 
hearings on proposals such as nuclear reactor sales to South 
Africa in 1976; and the establishment of special subcommittees 
to study in depth a particular area, problem, or program. 
Activities of legislative oversight subcommittees are described 
elsewhere.
    Contacts with administration officials can be formal or 
informal and normally take place at all levels throughout the 
year. It is customary for the Secretary of State to launch this 
process at the beginning of a year by giving the Committee a 
world review soon after the Congress convenes. It is also 
customary for the Secretary to appear before the Committee 
before the United States exercises military force and during 
times of international crisis. Heads of other departments, 
officers of the Armed Forces, under secretaries, assistant 
secretaries, and American ambassadors on Washington visits 
appear likewise on problems within their areas of 
responsibilities either before the full Committee or the 
appropriate subcommittee.
    Travel by Committee members and staff also serves the 
oversight function. Indeed Committee members are encouraged to 
visit other countries and to meet with government officials and 
other leaders in those countries in order to evaluate the 
effectiveness of United States overseas programs and meet their 
legislative oversight responsibilities. Members and staff of 
the Committee on Foreign Relations are required to report their 
findings to the Committee, and these reports are frequently 
printed as committee documents.
    The official travel expenses of members of the Committee 
and staff are paid either from the contingent fund of the 
Senate or by the use of U.S.-owned foreign currencies which are 
available to appropriate committees of the Congress engaged in 
carrying out their duties under the Standing Rules of the 
Senate. In accordance with Sec. 502 of the Mutual Security Act 
of 1954, as amended, and 22 U.S.C. 1754(b), as amended, each 
Senator and committee staff member who uses funds is required 
to submit an itemized report showing the amounts expended and 
the purposes for which expended. Such reports are open to 
public inspection.
    Also in the line of legislative oversight, as well as 
advising the executive, Senators and Representatives have been 
appointed to delegations, or as congressional advisers, to 
international conferences. This practice began as early as 
1814, when President Madison appointed Senator Thomas F. Bayard 
and Representative Henry Clay as two of the five members of the 
Peace Commission which negotiated the Treaty of Ghent. It was 
more marked throughout the 1900's, beginning with the 
appointments of Senators Connally and Vandenberg and 
Representatives Bloom and Eaton to the U.S. delegation to the 
United Nations Conference on International Organization at San 
Francisco in 1945.
    It was customary for the State Department to ask the 
Presiding Officer of the Senate to designate Senators to attend 
meetings of the governing bodies of U.N. specialized agencies; 
important conferences, such as the sessions of the Law of the 
Sea Conference; and special sessions of the U.N. General 
Assembly such as those sessions on disarmament and the 
environment. In this capacity, Senators serve as congressional 
advisers and gain some insight into the work of the 
organizations, including budget and financing questions. At the 
same time, they have an opportunity to share the concerns of 
the U.S. Congress on these issues. This practice diminished in 
the 1990's as congressional participation on U.S. delegations 
to international meetings has been directed more to those with 
significant domestic implications. For example, some of the 12 
Senators appointed to the Global Climate Change Observer Group 
attended the December 1997 meeting at Kyoto, Japan, on the 
Protocol on the U.N. Framework Convention on Climate Control.
    Most international organizations also have annual or 
biennial meetings of their membership, and it has become 
customary also to include Members of Congress in the U.S. 
delegations to those sessions as observers or advisers, when 
deemed desirable. For instance, a few years after the United 
Nations came into being an informal arrangement was made 
between the House, Senate, and the Department of State whereby 
in non-election years, two members of the House International 
Relations Committee would be on the U.S. delegation to the 
United Nations General Assembly, and in election years, two 
Senators, generally members of the Senate Foreign Relations 
Committee would be U.S. delegates. The Senators serving on the 
U.S. delegation to the United Nations General Assembly have 
been as follows:

    1946--Senators Connally and Vandenberg.
    1947--Senators Vandenberg and Connally.
    1950--Senators Sparkman (not a committee member) and Lodge.
    1952--Senators Green and Wiley.
    1954--Senators (H. Alexander) Smith and Fulbright
    1956--Senators Humphrey and Knowland.
    1958--Senators Mansfield and Hickenlooper.
    1960--Senators Morse and Aiken.
    1962--Senators Gore and Allott (not a committee member).
    1964--Senators (Russell B.) Long and Carlson.
    1966--Senators Church and (Clifford P.) Case.
    1968--Senators Symington and Cooper.
    1970--Senators Pell and Javits.
    1972--Senators McGee and Pearson.
    1974--Senators Symington and Percy.
    1976--Senators McGovern and Baker.
    1978--Senators Ribicoff (not a committee member) and 
Pearson.
    1980--Senators Tsongas and Javits.
    1982--Senators Kasten and Johnston (not committee members).
    1984--Senators Mathias and Glenn.
    1986--Senators Pressler and Eagleton
    1988--Senators Boschwitz and Dodd
    1990--Senators Mack and Biden
    1992--Senators Pressler and Sarbanes
    1994--Senators Murkowski and Leahy
    1996--Senators Grams and Pell
    1998--Senators Grams and Biden
    2000--Senators Grams and Biden

Interparliamentary Activities
    Interparliamentary activities concern and involve the 
entire Congress. For instance, every Member of Congress is ipso 
facto a member of the Interparliamentary Union. Legislation 
authorizing the participation in such activities, however, has 
been referred to the Committee on Foreign Relations and it is, 
therefore, more directly responsible and involved than other 
committees. Moreover, as the principal committee dealing with 
international relations, the Committee has taken an active 
interest in assuring adequate preparation and representation at 
the various interparliamentary meetings.
    In addition, Public Law 86-42 and Public Law 86-420, which 
authorize participation in the Canada-United States and the 
Mexico-United States Interparliamentary Groups, respectively, 
include the provision that not less than four of the 12 
Senators appointed by the President of the Senate to 
participate in such meetings be from the Foreign Relations 
Committee. And in 1975, an amendment to the Act authorizing 
U.S. participation in the Interparliamentary Union specified 
that no less than two of the delegates shall be members of the 
Senate Foreign Relations Committee.
    The oldest formally organized interparliamentary body is 
the Interparliamentary Union, to which all nations with 
national parliamentary bodies may apply for membership. The 
Congress has participated in the Union since its establishment 
in 1889. Current legislative authority for such participation 
dates from 1935.
    The next oldest group with which the U.S. Congress has been 
associated is the Commonwealth Parliamentary Association, 
formed as the Empire Parliamentary Association in 1911. 
Although the Congress is, of course, not a member of this 
organization, the association has made it a practice to invite 
Congress to participate in that portion of its annual meetings 
devoted to a discussion of international issues. These 
invitations have been accepted by the Senate upon occasion. 
Senate resolutions have been passed to authorize participation.
    U.S. participation in the North Atlantic Assembly, formerly 
the NATO Parliamentarians' Conference, was authorized in 1956 
on a permanent basis. The law provides for the appointment of 
not to exceed 24 Members of the Congress (12 from each House) 
to each conference (Public Law 84-689).
    The Canada-United States Interparliamentary Group is an 
outgrowth of discussions in 1959 between United States and 
Canadian legislators authorized by Senate Resolution 359 in 
1958. Following these initial discussions, participation by the 
United States in parliamentary conferences with Canada was 
authorized on a permanent basis by Public Law 86-42, enacted in 
1959. The appointment each year of not to exceed 12 Senators 
and 12 Representatives is authorized for this purpose. The 
participating countries alternate in acting as host to the 
conferences.
    To balance the arrangement with its northern neighbor, the 
U.S. Congress in 1960 approved similar participation in a 
Mexico-United States Interparliamentary Group by Public Law 86-
420.
    In addition to the formal or regular meetings of the above-
described organizations, there are other contacts on informal 
or irregular basis. For instance, the Council of Europe has 
occasionally invited Members of Congress to meet with it. 
Likewise, it has become customary for a small congressional 
group to meet some years with a similar group from the British 
Parliament. In 1974, 1978 and 1985, the Congress entertained a 
parliamentary delegation from the Soviet Union. Additional 
bilateral exchanges have been suggested by certain countries 
and invitations for congressional visits have been received 
from others. In 1965, for the first time, the Senate, at the 
recommendation of the Committee, adopted a resolution 
authorizing the President of the Senate to respond, for the 
duration of the 89th Congress, to invitations officially 
received from foreign governmental or parliamentary bodies by 
naming official Senate delegates to accept such invitations and 
providing for the payment of expenses of such delegations, not 
to exceed $25,000 per delegation. Similar resolutions covering 
the 90th Congress (S. Res. 115) and the 91st Congress (S. Res. 
65) were passed by the Senate on May 19, 1967, and February 17, 
1969, respectively. After a lapse of five years, this authority 
was renewed in 1975 (S. Res. 86, agreed to February 24, 1975) 
and the financial ceiling raised to $35,000 per delegation. 
Delegation expenses are now paid out of the Senate's 
contingency fund (S. Res. 179, approved May 25, 1977).
    To deal with the reverse flow of official visitors to the 
United States, the Senate on March 6, 1958 agreed to S. Res. 
259, which provided $5,000 ``to provide assistance to Members 
of the Senate in the discharge of their responsibilities in 
connection with visiting foreign dignitaries, and for other 
purposes.''
    In March 1975, the amount was raised to $10,000 to cover 
the cost of inflation, the increase in the number of visitors, 
and to include officials of Intergovernmental Organizations in 
addition to foreign government officials. In June 1976 this sum 
was further raised to $15,000 in view of the large bicentennial 
influx of foreign dignitaries, and in 1977 to $25,000. In 2000, 
the Senate agreed to S. Res. 370 which increased the amount to 
$30,000.

                          Committee Procedure
    Up to the time of enactment of the Legislative 
Reorganization Act of 1970, the Committee on Foreign Relations 
had no formal rules of procedure additional to those contained 
in the earlier Legislative Reorganization Act of 1946. The new 
act, however, provided that all committees, standing, select, 
or special, adopt rules and publish them in the Congressional 
Record no later than March 1 of each year (now Rule XXVI.2 of 
the Standing Rules of the Senate). The most recent rules are as 
follows:

        Affairs, any proposed legislation relating to such 
        subjects reported by the Committee on Foreign Relations 
        shall be referred to the Committee on Banking, Housing, 
        and Urban Affairs).
          11. Intervention abroad and declarations of war.

    The Committee is also mandated by Senate Rule XXV.1(j) to 
study and review, on a comprehensive basis, matters relating to 
the national security policy, foreign policy, and international 
economic policy as it relates to foreign policy of the United 
States, and matters relating to food, hunger, and nutrition in 
foreign countries, and report thereon from time to time.
    (b) Oversight.--The Committee also has a responsibility 
under Senate Rule XXVI.8, which provides that ``* * * each 
standing Committee * * * shall review and study, on a 
continuing basis, the application, administration, and 
execution of those laws or parts of laws, the subject matter of 
which is within the jurisdiction of the Committee.''
    (c) ``Advice and Consent'' Clauses.--The Committee has a 
special responsibility to assist the Senate in its 
constitutional function of providing ``advice and consent'' to 
all treaties entered into by the United States and all 
nominations to the principal executive branch positions in the 
field of foreign policy and diplomacy.

                         RULE 2--SUBCOMMITTEES
    (a) Creation.--Unless otherwise authorized by law or Senate 
resolution, subcommittees shall be created by majority vote of 
the Committee and shall deal with such legislation and 
oversight of programs and policies as the Committee directs. 
Legislative measures or other matters may be referred to a 
subcommittee for consideration in the discretion of the 
Chairman or by vote of a majority of the Committee. If the 
principal subject matter of a measure or matter to be referred 
falls within the jurisdiction of more than one subcommittee, 
the Chairman or the Committee may refer the matter to two or 
more subcommittees for joint consideration.
    (b) Assignments.--Assignments of members to subcommittees 
shall be made in an equitable fashion. No member of the 
Committee may receive assignment to a second subcommittee 
until, in order of seniority, all members of the Committee have 
chosen assignments to one subcommittee, and no member shall 
receive assignments to a third subcommittee until, in order of 
seniority, all members have chosen assignments to two 
subcommittees.
    No member of the Committee may serve on more than four 
subcommittees at any one time.
    The Chairman and Ranking Minority Member of the Committee 
shall be ex officio members, without vote, of each 
subcommittee.
    (c) Meetings.--Except when funds have been specifically 
made available by the Senate for a subcommittee purpose, no 
subcommittee of the Committee on Foreign Relations shall hold 
hearings involving expenses without prior approval of the 
Chairman of the full Committee or by decision of the full 
Committee. Meetings of subcommittees shall be scheduled after 
consultation with the Chairman of the Committee with a view 
toward avoiding conflicts with meetings of other subcommittees 
insofar as possible. Meetings of subcommittees shall not be 
scheduled to conflict with meetings of the full Committee.
    The proceedings of each subcommittee shall be governed by 
the rules of the full Committee, subject to such authorizations 
or limitations as the Committee may from time to time 
prescribe.

                            RULE 3--MEETINGS
    (a) Regular Meeting Day.--The regular meeting day of the 
Committee on Foreign Relations for the transaction of Committee 
business shall be on Tuesday of each week, unless otherwise 
directed by the Chairman.
    (b) Additional Meetings.--Additional meetings and hearings 
of the Committee may be called by the Chairman as he may deem 
necessary. If at least three members of the Committee desire 
that a special meeting of the Committee be called by the 
Chairman, those members may file in the offices of the 
Committee their written request to the Chairman for that 
special meeting. Immediately upon filing of the request, the 
Chief Clerk of the Committee shall notify the Chairman of the 
filing of the request. If, within three calendar days after the 
filing of the request, the Chairman does not call the requested 
special meeting, to be held within seven calendar days after 
the filing of the request, a majority of the members of the 
Committee may file in the offices of the Committee their 
written notice that a special meeting of the Committee will be 
held, specifying the date and hour of that special meeting. The 
Committee shall meet on that date and hour. Immediately upon 
the filing of the notice, the Clerk shall notify all members of 
the Committee that such special meeting will be held and inform 
them of its date and hour.
    (c) Minority Request.--Whenever any hearing is conducted by 
the Committee or a subcommittee upon any measure or matter, the 
minority on the Committee shall be entitled, upon request made 
by a majority of the minority members to the Chairman before 
the completion of such hearing, to call witnesses selected by 
the minority to testify with respect to the measure or matter 
during at least one day of hearing thereon.
    (d) Public Announcement.--The Committee, or any 
subcommittee thereof, shall make public announcement of the 
date, place, time, and subject matter of any hearing to be 
conducted on any measure or matter at least one week in advance 
of such hearings, unless the Chairman of the Committee, or 
subcommittee, determines that there is good cause to begin such 
hearing at an earlier date.
    (e) Procedure.--Insofar as possible, proceedings of the 
Committee will be conducted without resort to the formalities 
of parliamentary procedure and with due regard for the views of 
all members. Issues of procedure which may arise from time to 
time shall be resolved by decision of the Chairman, in 
consultation with the Ranking Minority Member. The Chairman, in 
consultation with the Ranking Minority Member, may also propose 
special procedures to govern the consideration of particular 
matters by the Committee.
    (f) Closed Sessions.--Each meeting of the Committee on 
Foreign Relations, or any subcommittee thereof, including 
meetings to conduct hearings, shall be open to the public, 
except that a meeting or series of meetings by the Committee or 
a subcommittee on the same subject for a period of no more than 
fourteen calendar days may be closed to the public on a motion 
made and seconded to go into closed session to discuss only 
whether the matters enumerated in paragraphs (1) through (6) 
would require the meeting to be closed followed immediately by 
a record vote in open session by a majority of the members of 
the Committee or subcommittee when it is determined that the 
matters to be discussed or the testimony to be taken at such 
meeting or meetings--
          (1) will disclose matters necessary to be kept secret 
        in the interests of national defense or the 
        confidential conduct of the foreign relations of the 
        United States;
          (2) will relate solely to matters of Committee staff 
        personnel or internal staff management or procedure;
          (3) will tend to charge an individual with crime or 
        misconduct; to disgrace or injure the professional 
        standing of an individual, or otherwise to expose an 
        individual to public contempt or obloquy, or will 
        represent a clearly unwarranted invasion of the privacy 
        of an individual;
          (4) will disclose the identity of any informer or law 
        enforcement agent or will disclose any information 
        relating to the investigation or prosecution of a 
        criminal offense that is required to be kept secret in 
        the interests of effective law enforcement;
          (5) will disclose information relating to the trade 
        secrets or financial or commercial information 
        pertaining specifically to a given person if--
                  (A) an Act of Congress requires the 
                information to be kept confidential by 
                Government officers and employees; or
                  (B) the information has been obtained by the 
                Government on a confidential basis, other than 
                through an application by such person for a 
                specific Government financial or other benefit, 
                and is required to be kept secret in order to 
                prevent undue injury to the competitive 
                position of such person, or

          (6) may divulge matters required to be kept 
        confidential under other provisions of law or 
        Government regulations.

    A closed meeting may be opened by a majority vote of the 
Committee.
    (g) Staff Attendance.--A member of the Committee may have 
one member of his or her personal staff, for whom that member 
assumes personal responsibility, accompany and be seated nearby 
at Committee meetings.
    Each member of the Committee may designate members of his 
or her personal staff, who hold a Top Secret security 
clearance, for the purpose of their eligibility to attend 
closed sessions of the Committee, subject to the same 
conditions set forth for Committee staff under Rules 12, 13, 
and 14.
    In addition, the Majority Leader and the Minority Leader of 
the Senate, if they are not otherwise members of the Committee, 
may designate one member of their staff with a Top Secret 
security clearance to attend closed sessions of the Committee, 
subject to the same conditions set forth for Committee staff 
under Rules 12, 13, and 14. Staff of other Senators who are not 
members of the Committee may not attend closed sessions of the 
Committee.
    Attendance of Committee staff at meetings shall be limited 
to those designated by the Staff Director or the Minority Staff 
Director.
    The Committee, by majority vote, or the Chairman, with the 
concurrence of the Ranking Minority Member, may limit staff 
attendance at specified meetings.

                            RULE 4--QUORUMS
    (a) Testimony.--For the purpose of taking sworn or unsworn 
testimony at any duly scheduled meeting a quorum of the 
Committee and each subcommittee thereof shall consist of one 
member.
    (b) Business.--A quorum for the transaction of Committee or 
subcommittee business, other than for reporting a measure or 
recommendation to the Senate or the taking of testimony, shall 
consist of one-third of the members of the Committee or 
subcommittee, including at least one member from each party.
    (c) Reporting.--A majority of the membership of the 
Committee shall constitute a quorum for reporting any measure 
or recommendation to the Senate. No measure or recommendation 
shall be ordered reported from the Committee unless a majority 
of the Committee members are physically present. The vote of 
the Committee to report a measure or matter shall require the 
concurrence of a majority of those members who are physically 
present at the time the vote is taken.

                            RULE 5--PROXIES
    Proxies must be in writing with the signature of the absent 
member. Subject to the requirements of Rule 4 for the physical 
presence of a quorum to report a matter, proxy voting shall be 
allowed on all measures and matters before the Committee. 
However, proxies shall not be voted on a measure or matter 
except when the absent member has been informed of the matter 
on which he is being recorded and has affirmatively requested 
that he or she be so recorded.

                           RULE 6--WITNESSES
    (a) General.--The Committee on Foreign Relations will 
consider requests to testify on any matter or measure pending 
before the Committee.
    (b) Presentation.--If the Chairman so determines, the oral 
presentation of witnesses shall be limited to 10 minutes. 
However, written statements of reasonable length may be 
submitted by witnesses and other interested persons who are 
unable to testify in person.
    (c) Filing of Statements.--A witness appearing before the 
Committee, or any subcommittee thereof, shall file a written 
statement of his proposed testimony at least 48 hours prior to 
his appearance, unless this requirement is waived by the 
Chairman and the Ranking Minority Member following their 
determination that there is good cause for failure to file such 
a statement.
    (d) Expenses.--Only the Chairman may authorize expenditures 
of funds for the expenses of witnesses appearing before the 
Committee or its subcommittees.
    (e) Requests.--Any witness called for a hearing may submit 
a written request to the Chairman no later than 24 hours in 
advance for his testimony to be in closed or open session, or 
for any other unusual procedure. The Chairman shall determine 
whether to grant any such request and shall notify the 
Committee members of the request and of his decision.

                           RULE 7--SUBPOENAS
    (a) Authorization.--The Chairman or any other member of the 
Committee, when authorized by a majority vote of the Committee 
at a meeting or by proxies, shall have authority to subpoena 
the attendance of witnesses or the production of memoranda, 
documents, records, or any other materials. When the Committee 
authorizes a subpoena, it may be issued upon the signature of 
the Chairman or any other member designated by the Committee.
    (b) Return.--A subpoena, or a request to an agency, for 
documents may be issued whose return shall occur at a time and 
place other than that of a scheduled Committee meeting. A 
return on such a subpoena or request which is incomplete or 
accompanied by an objection constitutes good cause for a 
hearing on shortened notice. Upon such a return, the Chairman 
or any other member designated by him may convene a hearing by 
giving 2 hours notice by telephone to all other members. One 
member shall constitute a quorum for such a hearing. The sole 
purpose of such a hearing shall be to elucidate further 
information about the return and to rule on the objection.
    (c) Depositions.--At the direction of the Committee, staff 
is authorized to take depositions from witnesses.

                            RULE 8--REPORTS
    (a) Filing.--When the Committee has ordered a measure or 
recommendation reported, the report thereon shall be filed in 
the Senate at the earliest practicable time.
    (b) Supplemental, Minority and Additional Views.--A member 
of the Committee who gives notice of his intentions to file 
supplemental, minority, or additional views at the time of 
final Committee approval of a measure or matter, shall be 
entitled to not less than 3 calendar days in which to file such 
views, in writing, with the Chief Clerk of the Committee, with 
the 3 days to begin at 11:00 p.m. on the same day that the 
Committee has ordered a measure or matter reported. Such views 
shall then be included in the Committee report and printed in 
the same volume, as a part thereof, and their inclusion shall 
be noted on the cover of the report. In the absence of timely 
notice, the Committee report may be filed and printed 
immediately without such views.
    (c) Rollcall Votes.--The results of all rollcall votes 
taken in any meeting of the Committee on any measure, or 
amendment thereto, shall be announced in the Committee report. 
The announcement shall include a tabulation of the votes cast 
in favor and votes cast in opposition to each such measure and 
amendment by each member of the Committee.

                            RULE 9--TREATIES
    (a) The Committee is the only Committee of the Senate with 
jurisdiction to review and report to the Senate on treaties 
submitted by the President for Senate advice and consent. 
Because the House of Representatives has no role in the 
approval of treaties, the Committee is therefore the only 
congressional committee with responsibility for treaties.
    (b) Once submitted by the President for advice and consent, 
each treaty is referred to the Committee and remains on its 
calendar from Congress to Congress until the Committee takes 
action to report it to the Senate or recommend its return to 
the President, or until the Committee is discharged of the 
treaty by the Senate.
    (c) In accordance with Senate Rule XXX.2, treaties which 
have been reported to the Senate but not acted on before the 
end of a Congress ``shall be resumed at the commencement of the 
next Congress as if no proceedings had previously been had 
thereon.''
    (d) Insofar as possible, the Committee should conduct a 
public hearing on each treaty as soon as possible after its 
submission by the President. Except in extraordinary 
circumstances, treaties reported to the Senate shall be 
accompanied by a written report.

                          RULE 10--NOMINATIONS
    (a) Waiting Requirement.--Unless otherwise directed by the 
Chairman and the Ranking Minority Member, the Committee on 
Foreign Relations shall not consider any nomination until 6 
calendar days after it has been formally submitted to the 
Senate.
    (b) Public Consideration.--Nominees for any post who are 
invited to appear before the Committee shall be heard in public 
session, unless a majority of the Committee decrees otherwise.
    (c) Required Data.--No nomination shall be reported to the 
Senate unless (1) the nominee has been accorded a security 
clearance on the basis of a thorough investigation by executive 
branch agencies; (2) in appropriate cases, the nominee has 
filed a financial disclosure report and a confidential 
statement with the Committee; (3) the Committee has been 
assured that the nominee does not have any interests which 
could conflict with the interests of the government in the 
exercise of the nominee's proposed responsibilities; (4) for 
persons nominated to be chief of mission, ambassador-at-large, 
or minister, the Committee has received a complete list of any 
contributions made by the nominee or members of his immediate 
family to any Federal election campaign during the year of his 
or her nomination and for the 4 preceding years; and (5) for 
persons nominated to be chiefs of mission, a report on the 
demonstrated competence of that nominee to perform the duties 
of the position to which he or she has been nominated.

                            RULE 11--TRAVEL
    (a) Foreign Travel.--No member of the Committee on Foreign 
Relations or its staff shall travel abroad on Committee 
business unless specifically authorized by the Chairman, who is 
required by law to approve vouchers and report expenditures of 
foreign currencies, and the Ranking Minority Member. Requests 
for authorization of such travel shall state the purpose and, 
when completed, a full substantive and financial report shall 
be filed with the Committee within 30 days. This report shall 
be furnished to all members of the Committee and shall not be 
otherwise disseminated without the express authorization of the 
Committee. Except in extraordinary circumstances, staff travel 
shall not be approved unless the reporting requirements have 
been fulfilled for all prior trips. Except for travel that is 
strictly personal, travel funded by non-U.S. Government sources 
is subject to the same approval and substantive reporting 
requirements as U.S. Government-funded travel. In addition, 
members and staff are reminded of Senate Rule XXXV.4 requiring 
a determination by the Senate Ethics Committee in the case of 
foreign-sponsored travel.
    Any proposed travel by Committee staff for a subcommittee 
purpose must be approved by the subcommittee chairman and 
ranking minority member prior to submission of the request to 
the Chairman and Ranking Minority Member of the full Committee.
    When the Chairman and the Ranking Minority Member approve 
the foreign travel of a member of the staff of the committee 
not accompanying a member of the Committee, all members of the 
Committee shall be advised, prior to the commencement of such 
travel of its extent, nature, and purpose.
    (b) Domestic Travel.--All official travel in the United 
States by the Committee staff shall be approved in advance by 
the Staff Director, or in the case of minority staff, by the 
Minority Staff Director.
    (c) Personal Staff.--As a general rule, no more than one 
member of the personal staff of a member of the Committee may 
travel with that member with the approval of the Chairman and 
the Ranking Minority Member of the Committee. During such 
travel, the personal staff member shall be considered to be an 
employee of the Committee.
    (d) Personal Representatives of the Member (PRM).--For the 
purposes of Rule 11 as regards staff foreign travel, the 
officially-designated personal representative of the member 
(PRM) shall be deemed to have the same rights, duties, and 
responsibilities as members of the staff of the Committee on 
Foreign Relations. Furthermore, for the purposes of this 
section, each Member of the Committee may designate one 
personal staff member as the ``Personal Representative of the 
Member.''

                          RULE 12--TRANSCRIPTS
    (a) General.--The Committee on Foreign Relations shall keep 
verbatim transcripts of all Committee and subcommittee meetings 
and such transcripts shall remain in the custody of the 
Committee, unless a majority of the Committee decides 
otherwise. Transcripts of public hearings by the Committee 
shall be published unless the Chairman, with the concurrence of 
the Ranking Minority Member, determines otherwise.
    (b) Classified or Restricted Transcripts.--
          (1) The Chief Clerk of the Committee shall have 
        responsibility for the maintenance and security of 
        classified or restricted transcripts.
          (2) A record shall be maintained of each use of 
        classified or restricted transcripts.
          (3) Classified or restricted transcripts shall be 
        kept in locked combination safes in the Committee 
        offices except when in active use by authorized persons 
        for a period not to exceed 2 weeks. Extensions of this 
        period may be granted as necessary by the Chief Clerk. 
        They must never be left unattended and shall be 
        returned to the Chief Clerk promptly when no longer 
        needed.
          (4) Except as provided in paragraph 7 below, 
        transcripts classified secret or higher may not leave 
        the Committee offices except for the purpose of 
        declassification.
          (5) Classified transcripts other than those 
        classified secret or higher may leave the Committee 
        offices in the possession of authorized persons with 
        the approval of the Chairman. Delivery and return shall 
        be made only by authorized persons. Such transcripts 
        may not leave Washington, DC, unless adequate 
        assurances for their security are made to the Chairman.
          (6) Extreme care shall be exercised to avoid taking 
        notes or quotes from classified transcripts. Their 
        contents may not be divulged to any unauthorized 
        person.
          (7) Subject to any additional restrictions imposed by 
        the Chairman with the concurrence of the Ranking 
        Minority Member, only the following persons are 
        authorized to have access to classified or restricted 
        transcripts.
                  (i) Members and staff of the Committee in the 
                Committee rooms;
                  (ii) Designated personal representatives of 
                members of the Committee, and of the Majority 
                and Minority Leaders, with appropriate security 
                clearances, in the Committee's Capitol office;
                  (iii) Senators not members of the Committee, 
                by permission of the Chairman in the Committee 
                rooms; and
                  (iv) Members of the executive departments 
                involved in the meeting, in the Committee's 
                Capitol office, or, with the permission of the 
                Chairman, in the offices of the officials who 
                took part in the meeting, but in either case, 
                only for a specified and limited period of 
                time, and only after reliable assurances 
                against further reproduction or dissemination 
                have been given.

          (8) Any restrictions imposed upon access to a meeting 
        of the Committee shall also apply to the transcript of 
        such meeting, except by special permission of the 
        Chairman and notice to the other members of the 
        Committee. Each transcript of a closed session of the 
        Committee shall include on its cover a description of 
        the restrictions imposed upon access, as well as any 
        applicable restrictions upon photocopying, note-taking 
        or other dissemination.
          (9) In addition to restrictions resulting from the 
        inclusion of any classified information in the 
        transcript of a Committee meeting, members and staff 
        shall not discuss with anyone the proceedings of the 
        Committee in closed session or reveal information 
        conveyed or discussed in such a session unless that 
        person would have been permitted to attend the session 
        itself, or unless such communication is specifically 
        authorized by the Chairman, the Ranking Minority 
        Member, or in the case of staff, by the Staff Director 
        or Minority Staff Director. A record shall be kept of 
        all such authorizations.
    (c) Declassification.--
          (1) All restricted transcripts and classified 
        Committee reports shall be declassified on a date 
        twelve years after their origination unless the 
        Committee by majority vote decides against such 
        declassification, and provided that the executive 
        departments involved and all former Committee members 
        who participated directly in the sessions or reports 
        concerned have been consulted in advance and given a 
        reasonable opportunity to raise objections to such 
        declassification.
          (2) Any transcript or classified Committee report, or 
        any portion thereof, may be declassified fewer than 
        twelve years after their origination if:
                  (i) the Chairman originates such action or 
                receives a written request for such action, and 
                notifies the other members of the Committee;
                  (ii) the Chairman, Ranking Minority Member, 
                and each member or former member who 
                participated directly in such meeting or report 
                give their approval, except that the Committee 
                by majority vote may overrule any objections 
                thereby raised to early declassification; and
                  (iii) the executive departments and all 
                former Committee members are consulted in 
                advance and have a reasonable opportunity to 
                object to early declassification.

                      RULE 13--CLASSIFIED MATERIAL
    (a) All classified material received or originated by the 
Committee shall be logged in at the Committee's offices in the 
Dirksen Senate Office Building, and except for material 
classified as ``Top Secret'' shall be filed in the Dirksen 
Senate Building offices for Committee use and safekeeping.
    (b) Each such piece of classified material received or 
originated shall be card indexed and serially numbered, and 
where requiring onward distribution shall be distributed by 
means of an attached indexed form approved by the Chairman. If 
such material is to be distributed outside the Committee 
offices, it shall, in addition to the attached form, be 
accompanied also by an approved signature sheet to show onward 
receipt.
    (c) Distribution of classified material among offices shall 
be by Committee members or authorized staff only. All 
classified material sent to members' offices, and that 
distributed within the working offices of the Committee, shall 
be returned to the offices designated by the Chief Clerk. No 
classified material is to be removed from the offices of the 
members or of the Committee without permission of the Chairman. 
Such classified material will be afforded safe handling and 
safe storage at all times.
    (d) Material classified ``Top Secret,'' after being indexed 
and numbered shall be sent to the Committee's Capitol office 
for use by the members and authorized staff in that office only 
or in such other secure Committee offices as may be authorized 
by the Chairman or Staff Director.
    (e) In general, members and staff undertake to confine 
their access to classified information on the basis of a ``need 
to know'' such information related to their Committee 
responsibilities.
    (f) The Staff Director is authorized to make such 
administrative regulations as may be necessary to carry out the 
provisions of these regulations.

                             RULE 14--STAFF
    (a) Responsibilities.--
          (1) The staff works for the Committee as a whole, 
        under the general supervision of the Chairman of the 
        Committee, and the immediate direction of the Staff 
        Director; provided, however, that such part of the 
        staff as is designated Minority Staff, shall be under 
        the general supervision of the Ranking Minority Member 
        and under the immediate direction of the Minority Staff 
        Director.
          (2) Any member of the Committee should feel free to 
        call upon the staff at any time for assistance in 
        connection with Committee business. Members of the 
        Senate not members of the Committee who call upon the 
        staff for assistance from time to time should be given 
        assistance subject to the overriding responsibility of 
        the staff to the Committee.
          (3) The staff's primary responsibility is with 
        respect to bills, resolutions, treaties, and 
        nominations.
          In addition to carrying out assignments from the 
        Committee and its individual members, the staff has a 
        responsibility to originate suggestions for Committee 
        or subcommittee consideration. The staff also has a 
        responsibility to make suggestions to individual 
        members regarding matters of special interest to such 
        members.
          (4) It is part of the staff's duty to keep itself as 
        well informed as possible in regard to developments 
        affecting foreign relations and in regard to the 
        administration of foreign programs of the United 
        States. Significant trends or developments which might 
        otherwise escape notice should be called to the 
        attention of the Committee, or of individual Senators 
        with particular interests.
          (5) The staff shall pay due regard to the 
        constitutional separation of powers between the Senate 
        and the executive branch. It therefore has a 
        responsibility to help the Committee bring to bear an 
        independent, objective judgment of proposals by the 
        executive branch and when appropriate to originate 
        sound proposals of its own. At the same time, the staff 
        shall avoid impinging upon the day-to-day conduct of 
        foreign affairs.
          (6) In those instances when Committee action requires 
        the expression of minority views, the staff shall 
        assist the minority as fully as the majority to the end 
        that all points of view may be fully considered by 
        members of the Committee and of the Senate. The staff 
        shall bear in mind that under our constitutional system 
        it is the responsibility of the elected Members of the 
        Senate to determine legislative issues in the light of 
        as full and fair a presentation of the facts as the 
        staff may be able to obtain.

    (b) Restrictions.--
          (1) The staff shall regard its relationship to the 
        Committee as a privileged one, in the nature of the 
        relationship of a lawyer to a client. In order to 
        protect this relationship and the mutual confidence 
        which must prevail if the Committee-staff relationship 
        is to be a satisfactory and fruitful one, the following 
        criteria shall apply:
                  (i) members of the staff shall not be 
                identified with any special interest group in 
                the field of foreign relations or allow their 
                names to be used by any such group;
                  (ii) members of the staff shall not accept 
                public speaking engagements or write for 
                publication in the field of foreign relations 
                without specific advance permission from the 
                Staff Director, or, in the case of minority 
                staff, from the Minority Staff Director. In the 
                case of the Staff Director and the Minority 
                Staff Director, such advance permission shall 
                be obtained from the Chairman or the Ranking 
                Minority Member, as appropriate. In any event, 
                such public statements should avoid the 
                expression of personal views and should not 
                contain predictions of future, or 
                interpretations of past, Committee action; and
                  (iii) staff shall not discuss their private 
                conversations with members of the Committee 
                without specific advance permission from the 
                Senator or Senators concerned.

          (2) The staff shall not discuss with anyone the 
        proceedings of the Committee in closed session or 
        reveal information conveyed or discussed in such a 
        session unless that person would have been permitted to 
        attend the session itself, or unless such communication 
        is specifically authorized by the Staff Director or 
        Minority Staff Director. Unauthorized disclosure of 
        information from a closed session or of classified 
        information shall be cause for immediate dismissal and 
        may, in the case of some kinds of information, be 
        grounds for criminal prosecution.

                 RULE 15--STATUS AND AMENDMENT OF RULES
    (a) Status.--In addition to the foregoing, the Committee on 
Foreign Relations is governed by the Standing Rules of the 
Senate which shall take precedence in the event of a clear 
inconsistency. In addition, the jurisdiction and 
responsibilities of the Committee with respect to certain 
matters, as well as the timing and procedure for their 
consideration in Committee, may be governed by statute.
    (b) Amendment.--These Rules may be modified, amended, or 
repealed by a majority of the Committee, provided that a notice 
in writing of the proposed change has been given to each member 
at least 48 hours prior to the meeting at which action thereon 
is to be taken. However, Rules of the Committee which are based 
upon Senate Rules may not be superseded by Committee vote 
alone.

                                 ______
                                 
    These rules speak for themselves. It should be noted that 
attendance of members at Committee meetings is voluntary and 
not compulsory.
Meetings and Hearings
    Committee meetings are held at the call of the chairman. 
During consideration of important and complex measures, it is 
not unusual for the Committee to meet daily, both mornings and 
afternoons, the Senate permitting. Under normal circumstances, 
it is a routine courtesy to give standing committees permission 
to meet while the Senate is in session. Thus, for example, the 
Committee and its subcommittees met some 330 times during the 
93rd Congress, 311 times in the 98th Congress, and over 200 
times in the 106th Congress.
    Meetings and agenda are initiated by the chairman and 
ranking minority member with the advice of members. Members 
have the right to suggest meetings on particular subjects and 
that certain bills and resolutions be placed on the agenda or 
scheduled for hearings.
    In accordance with Senate rules (S. Res. 9, adopted 
November 7, 1975), all meetings are open to the public, except 
when the Committee, by majority vote, decides otherwise. 
Because of the sensitive nature of certain of the information 
required by the Committee, some hearings are voted to be closed 
to the public. Briefings by Department of State officials on 
negotiations in process or of current U.S. policy on various 
issues, for example, often fall into that category.
    The Committee holds hearings on legislation, nominations, 
treaties, general oversight, and current international 
situations which are of interest to the Chairman or 
Subcommittee Chairmen. By custom, but not by rule, the 
Committee has permitted administration representatives to 
appear on the first witness panel, to be followed by one or 
more panels of private witnesses. Every effort is made to 
maintain a two to one witness ratio, with two witnesses on the 
private panel appearing at the request of the majority for each 
witness appearing at the request of the minority to ensure that 
a diversity of views is heard on matters before the Committee.
    If there are numerous witnesses to be heard on a particular 
bill or treaty, the Committee may limit the oral presentation 
of witnesses to 10 minutes. The Committee has adopted a time 
limit for questioning witnesses by its own members so as to 
give every Senator an equal chance at examining a witness. On 
certain occasions, the Committee has also set a time limit on 
the period during which requests to be heard will be accepted 
by the Committee. Written statements, submitted by witnesses 
limited in their oral presentation, are printed in the hearing 
records, if of reasonable length and if received within a 
reasonable period after the hearings. Other information 
directly pertaining to a hearing has also been printed in 
hearing records. For example, during the 105th Congress, 
additional material was included in the printed record relating 
to NATO enlargement, and during the 106th Congress on the 
future of ABM. Major hearings and many others are printed by 
the Committee. However, it has become the practice of the 
Committee, for reasons of economy, not to print all hearings, 
especially on nominations. In many cases, brief hearings or 
principal witness statements are printed in the appendix to the 
Committee's report on the measure under consideration; in all 
cases, the typed transcript of public proceedings is available 
to the public to read in the Committee offices.
    Beginning in the fall of 1973, the Committee started a 
pioneering project of publishing its hitherto classified 
executive sessions dating from the 80th Congress in 1947, when 
pursuant to the Legislative Reorganization Act of 1946, 
verbatim records of committee meetings were ordered to be kept. 
This so-called historical series has become a continuing 
activity, complementing the Department of State's collection of 
diplomatic papers in the Foreign Relations of the United States 
series with a record of congressional action and views.

                             Subcommittees
    It is the tradition of the Committee on Foreign Relations 
to consider legislation, resolutions, treaties, and nominations 
in the full committee on the theory that most questions of 
foreign relations are not divisible by geographic or 
substantive matter. A major exception was made in 1975 with the 
creation of the Subcommittee on Foreign Assistance, which was 
given jurisdiction over all legislation on foreign aid and 
international financial institutions. In recent years, the 
Committee has returned to the practice of approving all 
legislation, treaties, and nominations on the full committee 
level.
    Standing, temporary, or ad hoc, and oversight subcommittees 
have been utilized by the Committee at various times. 
Subcommittees are appointed by majority vote of the Committee, 
unless otherwise authorized by law or Senate resolution.
Standing Subcommittees
    From 1950 to 1975, the Committee on Foreign Relations 
maintained a series of consultative subcommittees, 
corresponding to the organization of the Department of State to 
a greater or lesser degree at various times.
    The consultative subcommittee system was designed to foster 
more extensive consultations between the members of the Foreign 
Relations Committee and officers of the Department of State and 
to undertake independent studies in areas of special Committee 
interest. Since World War II the U.S. role in the world thrust 
new and important responsibilities upon the Congress. Moreover, 
the problems which confront the United States in various parts 
of the world increased tremendously in number and complexity. 
This meant that a degree of specialization in the work of the 
Committee on Foreign Relations became desirable. By organizing 
along subcommittee lines it was possible for the members to 
keep abreast of the more important developments within each of 
the geographic and substantive areas of concern in the conduct 
of foreign policy.
    While the word ``consultative'' has been dropped from the 
subcommittee system, the role of the subcommittees in 
developing specialized information has continued much the same.
    During the 106th Congress, the subcommittee structure was 
as follows:

    (Subcommittees are listed in the order of chairmen's 
seniority within the full committee.)
    (The Chairman and Ranking Minority Member of the full 
committee are ex officio members of each subcommittee on which 
they do not serve as members.)

        illegal drugs or substances; and
          (3) all U.S. foreign policy, programs and cooperative 
        efforts to combat international terrorism.

    In the recent past the practice was to follow preferences 
of Committee members with respect to subcommittee assignments 
which resulted in varied sizes and differing ratios between 
majority and minority members. However, beginning in the 95th 
Congress, ratios were set and minority members assumed 
different ``ranking'' positions on each subcommittee.
    Except for the practice noted above, that legislation is 
considered by full committee, there is no rule as to whether a 
matter is considered by the full committee or a subcommittee.
Study or Oversight Subcommittees
    In the past, when the Committee on Foreign Relations 
decided on a major oversight undertaking, requiring more staff 
and funds than available under its ordinary budget, the 
Committee has sought special authority and funds for the 
conduct of such studies. The first such study authorized by the 
Senate after passage of the Legislative Reorganization Act of 
1946 was a study of overseas information programs of the United 
States in 1952 (S. Res. 74, 82d Cong.) which ended in 1954. 
This study set the pattern for most of the subsequent studies 
during the 1950's, namely, studies of the United Nations 
Charter (S. Res. 126, 1953), of the technical assistance 
program (S. Res. 214, 1954), of disarmament issues (S. Res. 93, 
1955), of foreign assistance programs (S. Res. 285, 1956), and 
U.S. foreign policy (S. Res. 336, 1958). A subcommittee was 
appointed to conduct the study or oversight and included non 
Committee members as well as Committee members. The procedure 
generally was to collect and publish relevant documents; 
problem areas were explored in staff studies; questionnaires 
were sent to groups having special knowledge of the subject 
matter (American businessmen and reporters overseas, 
ambassadors, or retired Foreign Service Officers); on the spot 
surveys were made overseas, hearings were held on the 
accumulated data; and a final report was submitted to the 
Senate, giving the subcommittee's recommendations and 
conclusions.
Ad Hoc Subcommittees
    For many years Ad hoc subcommittees were the only kind of 
subcommittees appointed by the Committee on Foreign Relations. 
They were normally authorized to consider only one item or a 
related group of items, such as a series of double taxation 
conventions or broadcasting agreements. As the Committee began 
more and more to consider treaties and legislation as a whole, 
the appointment of ad hoc subcommittees decreased. No such 
subcommittees were appointed between 1959, when one was set up 
to consider certain broadcasting agreements, and 1965, when 
three ad hoc subcommittees were appointed to handle certain 
international organization matters, claims legislation, and 
double tax conventions. In 1967 four additional ad hoc 
subcommittees were set up to consider customs and maritime 
matters, human rights conventions, deployment of U.S. troops in 
Europe, and a Foreign Service Information corps. Since then, 
similar subcommittees have gone into passport matters, the 
International Grain Arrangement, the Genocide Convention, the 
International Wheat Agreement of 1971, and the operation of the 
War Powers Resolution.
    Ad hoc subcommittees cease to exist the moment the matters 
referred to them are disposed of or upon adjournment of 
Congress.
Staff
    The following provisions of the amended Standing Rules of 
the Senate are applicable to the Committee staff.

                               RULE XXVII
                            committee staff
          1. Staff members appointed to assist minority members 
        of committees pursuant to authority of a resolution 
        described in paragraph 9 of rule XXVI or other Senate 
        resolution shall be accorded equitable treatment with 
        respect to the fixing of salary rates, the assignment 
        of facilities, and the accessibility of committee 
        records. \10\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
    \10\ See page 65, below, for paragraph 9 of rule XXVI.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
          2. The minority shall receive fair consideration in 
        the appointment of staff personnel pursuant to 
        authority of a resolution described in paragraph 9 of 
        rule XXVI.
          3. The staffs of committees (including personnel 
        appointed pursuant to authority of a resolution 
        described in paragraph 9 of rule XXVI or other Senate 
        resolution) should reflect the relative number of 
        majority and minority members of committees. A majority 
        of the minority members of any committee may, by 
        resolution, request that at least one-third of all 
        funds of the committee for personnel (other than those 
        funds determined by the chairman and ranking minority 
        members to be allocated for the administrative and 
        clerical functions of the committee as a whole) to be 
        allocated to the minority members of such committee for 
        compensation of minority staff as the minority members 
        may decide. The committee shall thereafter adjust its 
        budget to comply with such resolution. Such adjustment 
        shall be equitably made over a four-year period, 
        commencing July 1, 1977, with not less than one-half 
        being made in two years. Upon request by a majority of 
        the minority members of any committee by resolution, 
        proportionate space, equipment, and facilities shall be 
        provided for such minority staff.
          4. No committee shall appoint to its staff any 
        experts or other personnel detailed or assigned from 
        any department or agency of the Government, except with 
        the written permission of the Committee on Rules and 
        Administration.

    As of September 29, 1999, the Committee's annual budget 
which provides funding for the exercise of its legislative 
oversight and for all staffing is included in S. Res. 189, the 
omnibus committee funding resolution. From March 1 until 
September 30, 1999 temporary funding was authorized by S. Res. 
49. Portions of S. Res. 49 and S. Res. 189 are set forth on 
pages 66 and 68.
    Prior to 1981, staff funding was included in the budget and 
also in separate resolutions. For example, in 1958 the position 
of an interparliamentary assistant was authorized as visits of 
foreign dignitaries to Washington increased and as the Congress 
became more involved in interparliamentary activities. This 
position was made permanent in 1962.
    The size of the staff has increased over the years. At the 
beginning of the 80th Congress, when the Committee began to 
organize its independent professional staff, it employed four 
persons; as of October 2000, 48 persons, professional and 
clerical, were employed on a permanent basis.
    As a rule, the staff is assigned to the full committee, and 
subcommittees are not separately staffed. Members of the full 
committee staff have the responsibility for taking care of the 
needs of subcommittees.
    In accordance with the Legislative Reorganization Act of 
1946, as amended, members of the full committee staff were 
occasionally assigned to work primarily for the minority, but 
were also available for general committee assignments. However, 
in January 1979 the minority members of the Committee elected 
to establish a minority staff as stipulated in Rule XXVII.2. 
Since then, formal coordination of relations between the 
majority and minority staffs has been accomplished through the 
two staff directors, and various members of the staff 
performing administrative and clerical functions for the 
Committee have been considered as ``nondesignated.'' It should 
be noted that prior to the hiring of a minority staff in 1979, 
the Committee had appointed a personnel subcommittee in early 
1958 which made recommendations to the full committee, and 
filled professional staff vacancies at the discretion of the 
Chairman as they developed. This subcommittee consisted of the 
two ranking majority and minority members.
    In the case of long-term special oversight studies, 
however, it has been occasionally necessary to augment the 
regular Committee staff with specialists for a limited period 
of time. For shorter periods, consultants have been hired by 
the Committee, as in 1979 for consideration of the SALT II 
treaty, in 1981 for the nomination of Alexander M. Haig, Jr., 
to be Secretary of State, and in 1988 for consideration of the 
INF Treaty.
    S. Res. 60 of the 94th Congress (June 12, 1975) authorized 
the hiring of additional persons by Committee members on their 
personal staff to assist them on Committee matters. This 
resolution was superseded by the Legislative Branch 
Appropriations Act, 1978, which contains provisions for the 
hiring of Personal Representatives of Members as follows:

                       Public Law 95-94 [Excerpt]

AN ACT Making appropriations for the Legislative Branch for the fiscal

        Representatives of the United States of America in 
        Congress assembled, That the following sums are 
        appropriated, out of any money in the Treasury not 
        otherwise appropriated, for the Legislative Branch for

    Sec. 111. (a) Except as provided in subsection (b), the 
aggregate of the gross compensation which may be paid to 
employees in the office of a Senator during each fiscal year

approve the appointment to the staff of such committee or 
subcommittee of one or more individuals for the purpose of 
assisting such Senator solely and directly in his duties as a 
member of such committee or subcommittee, the amount referred

in his duties as a member of such committee or subcommittee 
thereof as the case may be, or (B) the amount referred to in 
section 105(e)(1) of the Legislative Branch Appropriation Act,

    (3) In the case of a Senator who is serving on more than 
three committees, one of the committees on which he is serving,

may restrict access to its sessions to one staff member per 
Senator at a time and require, if classified material is being 
handled or discussed, that any staff member possess the

        not more than the rate referred to in subsection 
        (e)(1), (ii)''; and
          (2) by striking out ``(ii)'' and inserting in lieu 
        thereof ``(iii)''.

The amendments made by this subsection shall have no effect on

on October 8, 1976, under section 4 of the Federal Pay 
Comparability Act of 1970.
    (e)(1) Section 106 of the Supplemental Appropriations Act, 
1977 (other than subsection (f) thereof) is repealed.

section 705 of Senate Resolution 4, 95th Congress (other than 
subsection (h) thereof) is repealed.
    (f) This section, and the amendments made by subsection (d) 
and the repeals made by subsection (e), shall take effect on 
October 1, 1977.

    In accordance with a provision of the Legislative Branch 
Appropriations Act of 1965, the name, title, and total salary

Finances
    In accordance with Rule XXVI of the Standing Rules of the 
Senate:

    1. Each standing committee, including any subcommittee of 
any such committee is authorized to hold such hearings, to sit 
and act at such times and places during the sessions, recesses, 
and adjourned periods of the Senate, to require by subpoena or 
otherwise the attendance of such witnesses and the production 
of such correspondence, books, papers, and documents, to take 
such testimony and to make such expenditures out of the 
contingent fund of the Senate as may be authorized by 
resolutions of the Senate. Each such committee may make 
investigations into any matter within its jurisdiction, may 
report such hearings as may be had by it, and may employ 
stenographic assistance at a cost not exceeding the amount 
prescribed by the Committee on Rules and Administration. The 
expenses of the committee shall be paid from the contingent 
fund of the Senate upon vouchers approved by the chairman.

    Rule XXVI.9 requires that each committee report a 
resolution authorizing the committee to make expenditures out 
of the contingent fund of the Senate to defray its expenses, 
including the compensation of members of its staff and agency 
contribution (i.e., retirement, life and health insurances) 
related to such compensation during a budget period beginning 
on March 1 of each year and ending on the last day of February 
of the following year:
    Rule XXVI.9 reads as follows:

    9. (a) Except as provided in subparagraph (b), each 
committee shall report one authorization resolution each year 
authorizing the committee to make expenditures out of the 
contingent fund of the Senate to defray its expenses, including 
the compensation of members of its staff and agency 
contributions related to such compensation, during the period 
beginning on March 1 of such year and ending on the last day of 
February of the following year. Such annual authorization 
resolution shall be reported not later than January 31 of each 
year, except that, whenever the designation of members of 
standing committees of the Senate occurs during the first 
session of a Congress at a date later than January 20, such 
resolution may be reported at any time within thirty days after 
the date on which the designation of such members is completed. 
After the annual authorization resolution of a committee for a 
year has been agreed to, such committee may procure 
authorization to make additional expenditures out of the 
contingent fund of the Senate during that year only by 
reporting a supplemental authorization resolution. Each 
supplemental authorization resolution reported by a committee 
shall amend the annual authorization resolution of such 
committee for that year and shall be accompanied by a report 
specifying with particularity the purpose for which such 
authorization is sought and the reason why such authorization 
could not have been sought at the time of the submission by 
such committee of its annual authorization resolution for that 
year.
    (b) In lieu of the procedure provided in subparagraph (a), 
the Committee on Rules and Administration may--
          (1) direct each committee to report an authorization 
        resolution for a two-year budget period beginning on 
        March 1 of the first session of a Congress; and
          (2) report one authorization resolution containing 
        more than one committee authorization resolution for a 
        one-year or two-year budget period.

    The following are excerpts from S. Res. 49 and S. Res. 189 
which provide funds to be spent by the Foreign Relations and 
other Senate committees in budget year 1999-2001.

                              Appendix II

           Composition of the Committee on Foreign Relations
                              by Congress
    The data for the 14th through the 77th Congress is taken 
from Eleanor Dennison (see bibliography) whose introductory 
statement is as follows:


          The party designations given are unavoidably subject 
        to error in the early period, owing to the vagueness of 
        party lines and the shifting of men from one party to 
        another on critical issues at that time. The 
        information as to party affiliation here included is 
        from the Biographical Dictionary of the American 
        Congress, 1774-1927, and the various Congressional 
        Directories. For the 28th to the 33d and the 35th and 
        36th Congresses the designations are those given in the 
        Congressional Globe. Where a designation in the latter 
        has differed from that in the Biographical Dictionary, 
        preference has been given to the Congressional Globe. 
        Other authorities employed are the Dictionary of 
        American Biography, 1928-36, Appleton's Cyclopaedia of 
        American Biography, 1888-1918, and the National 
        Cyclopaedia of American Biography, 1893-1939.

                               Appendix V

 Selected provisions of the Standing Rules of the Senate, relating to 
                         committee procedures.

                               RULE XXVI
                          committee procedure
    1. Each standing committee, including any subcommittee of 
any such committee is authorized to hold such hearings, to sit 
and act at such times and places during the sessions, recesses, 
and adjourned periods of the Senate, to require by subpoena or 
otherwise the attendance of such witnesses and the production 
of such correspondence, books, papers, and documents, to take 
such testimony and to make such expenditures out of the 
contingent fund of the Senate as may be authorized by 
resolutions of the Senate. Each such committee may make 
investigations into any matter within its jurisdiction, may 
report such hearings as may be had by it, and may employ 
stenographic assistance at a cost not exceeding the amount 
prescribed by the Committee on Rules and Administration. \1\ 
The expenses of the committee shall be paid from the contingent 
fund of the Senate upon vouchers approved by the chairman.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
    \1\ Pursuant to section 68c of title 2, United States Code, the 
Committee on Rules and Administration issues ``Regulations Governing 
Rates Payable to Commercial Reporting Firms for Reporting Committee 
Hearings in the Senate.'' Copies of the regulations currently in effect 
may be obtained from the Committee.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
    2. Each committee \2\ shall adopt rules (not inconsistent 
with the Rules of the Senate) governing the procedure of such 
committee. The rules of each committee shall be published in 
the Congressional Record not later than March 1 of each year, 
except that if any such committee is established on or after 
February 1 of a year, the rules of that committee during the 
year of establishment shall be published in the Congressional 
Record not later than sixty days after such establishment. An 
amendment to the rules of any such committee shall be published 
in the Congressional Record not later than thirty days after 
the adoption of such amendment. If the Congressional Record is 
not published on the last day of any period referred to above, 
such period shall be extended until the first day thereafter on 
which it is published.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
    \2\ The term ``each committee'' when used in these rules includes 
standing, select, and special committees unless otherwise specified.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
    3. Each standing committee (except the Committee on 
Appropriations) shall fix regular weekly, biweekly, or monthly 
meeting days for the transaction of business before the 
committee and additional meetings may be called by the chairman 
as he may deem necessary. If at least three members of any such 
committee desire that a special meeting of the committee be 
called by the chairman, those members may file in the offices 
of the committee their written request to the chairman for that 
special meeting. Immediately upon the filing of the request, 
the clerk of the committee shall notify the chairman of the 
filing of the request. If, within three calendar days after the 
filing of the request, the chairman does not call the requested 
special meeting, to be held within seven calendar days after 
the filing of the request, a majority of the members of the 
committee may file in the offices of the committee their 
written notice that a special meeting of the committee will be 
held, specifying the date and hour of that special meeting. The 
committee shall meet on that date and hour. Immediately upon 
the filing of the notice the clerk of the committee shall 
notify all members of the committee that such special meeting 
will be held and inform them of its date and hour. If the 
chairman of any such committee is not present at any regular, 
additional, or special meeting of the committee, the ranking 
member of the majority party on the committee who is present 
shall preside at that meeting.
    4. (a) Each committee (except the Committee on 
Appropriations and the Committee on the Budget) shall make 
public announcement of the date, place, and subject matter of 
any hearing to be conducted by the committee on any measure or 
matter at least one week before the commencement of that 
hearing unless the committee determines that there is good 
cause to begin such hearing at an earlier date.
    (b) Each committee (except the Committee on Appropriations) 
shall require each witness who is to appear before the 
committee in any hearing to file with the clerk of the 
committee, at least one day before the date of the appearance 
of that witness, a written statement of his proposed testimony 
unless the committee chairman and the ranking minority member 
determine that there is good cause for noncompliance. If so 
requested by any committee, the staff of the committee shall 
prepare for the use of the members of the committee before each 
day of hearing before the committee a digest of the statements 
which have been so filed by witnesses who are to appear before 
the committee on that day.
    (c) After the conclusion of each day of hearing, is so 
requested by any committee, the staff shall prepare for the use 
of the members of the committee a summary of the testimony 
given before the committee on that day. After approval by the 
chairman and the ranking minority member of the committee, each 
such summary may be printed as a part of the committee hearings 
if such hearings are ordered by the committee to be printed.
    (d) Whenever any hearing is conducted by a committee 
(except the Committee on Appropriations) upon any measure or 
matter, the minority on the committee shall be entitled, upon 
request made by a majority of the minority members to the 
chairman before the completion of such hearing to call 
witnesses selected by the minority to testify with respect to 
the measure or matter during at least one day of hearing 
thereon.
    5. (a) Notwithstanding any other provision of the rules, 
when the Senate is in session, no committee of the Senate or 
any subcommittee thereof may meet, without special leave, after 
the conclusion of the first two hours after the meeting of the 
Senate commenced and in no case after two o'clock post meridian 
unless consent therefor has been obtained from the majority 
leader and the minority leader (or in the event of the absence 
of either of such leaders, from his designee). The prohibition 
contained in the preceding sentence shall not apply to the 
Committee on Appropriations or the Committee on the Budget. The 
majority leader or his designee shall announce to the Senate 
whenever consent has been given under this subparagraph and 
shall state the time and place of such meeting. The right to 
make such announcement of consent shall have the same priority 
as the filing of a cloture motion.
    (b) Each meeting of a committee, or any subcommittee 
thereof, including meetings to conduct hearings, shall be open 
to the public, except that a meeting or series of meetings by a 
committee or a subcommittee thereof on the same subject for a 
period of no more than fourteen calendar days may be closed to 
the public on a motion made and seconded to go into closed 
session to discuss only whether the matters enumerated in 
clauses (1) through (6) would require the meeting to be closed, 
followed immediately by a record vote in open session by a 
majority of the members of the committee or subcommittee when 
it is determined that the matters to be discussed or the 
testimony to be taken at such meeting or meetings--
          (1) will disclose matters necessary to be kept secret 
        in the interests of national defense or the 
        confidential conduct of the foreign relations of the 
        United States;
          (2) will relate solely to matters of committee staff 
        personnel or internal staff management or procedure;
          (3) will tend to charge an individual with crime or 
        misconduct, to disgrace or injure the professional 
        standing of an individual, or otherwise to expose an 
        individual to public contempt or obloquy or will 
        represent a clearly unwarranted invasion of the privacy 
        of an individual;
          (4) will disclose the identity of any informer or law 
        enforcement agent or will disclose any information 
        relating to the investigation or prosecution of a 
        criminal offense that is required to be kept secret in 
        the interests of effective law enforcement;
          (5) will disclose information relating to the trade 
        secrets of financial or commercial information 
        pertaining specifically to a given person if--
                  (A) an Act of Congress requires the 
                information to be kept confidential by 
                Government officers and employees; or
                  (B) the information has been obtained by the 
                Government on a confidential basis, other than 
                through an application by such person for a 
                specific Government financial or other benefit, 
                and is required to be kept secret in order to 
                prevent undue injury to the competitive 
                position of such person; or
          (6) may divulge matters required to be kept 
        confidential under other provisions of law or 
        Government regulations.
    (c) Whenever any hearing conducted by any such committee or 
subcommittee is open to the public, that hearing may be 
broadcast by radio or television, or both, under rules as the 
committee or subcommittee may adopt.
    (d) Whenever disorder arises during a committee meeting 
that is open to the public, or any demonstration of approval or 
disapproval is indulged in by any person in attendance at any 
such meeting, it shall be the duty of the Chair to enforce 
order on his own initiative and without any point of order 
being made by a Senator. When the Chair finds it necessary to 
maintain order, he shall have the power to clear the room, and 
the committee may act in closed session for so long as there is 
doubt of the assurance of order.
    (e) Each committee shall prepare and keep a complete 
transcript or electronic recording adequate to fully record the 
proceeding of each meeting or conference whether or not such 
meeting or any part thereof is closed under this paragraph, 
unless a majority of its members vote to forgo such a record.
    6. Morning meetings of committees and subcommittees thereof 
shall be scheduled for one or both of the periods prescribed in 
this paragraph. The first period shall end at eleven o'clock 
ante meridian. The second period shall begin at eleven o'clock 
ante meridian and end at two o'clock post meridian.
    7. (a)(1) Except as provided in this paragraph, each 
committee, and each subcommittee thereof is authorized to fix 
the number of its members (but not less than one third of its 
entire membership) who shall constitute a quorum thereof for 
the transaction of such business as may be considered by said 
committee, except that no measure or matter or recommendation 
shall be reported from any committee unless a majority of the 
committee were physically present.
    (2) Each such committee, or subcommittee, is authorized to 
fix a lesser number than one-third of its entire membership who 
shall constitute a quorum thereof for the purpose of taking 
sworn testimony.
    (3) The vote of any committee to report a measure or matter 
shall require the concurrence of a majority of the members of 
the committee who are present. No vote of any member of any 
committee to report a measure or matter may be cast by proxy if 
rules adopted by such committee forbid the casting of votes for 
that purpose by proxy; however, proxies may not be voted when 
the absent committee member has not been informed of the matter 
on which he is being recorded and has not affirmatively 
requested that he be so recorded. Action by any committee in 
reporting any measure or matter in accordance with the 
requirements of this subparagraph shall constitute the 
ratification by the committee of all action theretofore taken 
by the committee with respect to that measure or matter, 
including votes taken upon the measure or matter or any 
amendment thereto, and no point of order shall lie with respect 
to that measure or matter on the ground that such previous 
action with respect thereto by such committee was not taken in 
compliance with such requirements.
    (b) Each committee (except the Committee on Appropriations) 
shall keep a complete record of all committee action. Such 
record shall include a record of the votes on any question on 
which a record vote is demanded. The results of roll call votes 
taken in any meeting of any committee upon any measure, or any 
amendment thereto, shall be announced in the committee report 
on that measure unless previously announced by the committee, 
and such announcement shall include a tabulation of the votes 
cast in favor of and the votes cast in opposition to each such 
measure and amendment by each member of the committee who was 
present at that meeting.
    (c) Whenever any committee by roll call vote reports any 
measure or matter, the report of the committee upon such 
measure or matter shall include a tabulation of the votes cast 
by each member of the committee in favor of and in opposition 
to such measure or matter. Nothing contained in this 
subparagraph shall abrogate the power of any committee to adopt 
rules--
          (1) providing for proxy voting on all matters other 
        than the reporting of a measure or matter, or
          (2) providing in accordance with subparagraph (a) for 
        a lesser number as a quorum for any action other than 
        the reporting of a measure or matter.
    8. In order to assist the Senate in--
          (1) its analysis, appraisal, and evaluation of the 
        application, administration, and execution of the laws 
        enacted by the Congress, and
          (2) its formulation, consideration, and enactment of 
        such modifications of or changes in those laws, and of 
        such additional legislation, as may be necessary or 
        appropriate,
each standing committee (except the committees on 
Appropriations and the Budget), shall review and study, on a 
continuing basis the application, administration, and execution 
of those laws, or parts of laws, the subject matter of which is 
within the legislative jurisdiction of that committee. Such 
committees may carry out the required analysis, appraisal, and 
evaluation themselves, or by contract, or may require a 
Government agency to do so and furnish a report thereon to the 
Senate. Such committees may rely on such techniques as pilot 
testing, analysis of costs in comparison with benefits, or 
provision for evaluation after a defined period of time.
    (b) In each odd-numbered year, each such committee shall 
submit not later than March 31, to the Senate, a report on the 
activities of that committee under this paragraph during the 
Congress ending at noon on January 3 of such year.
    9. (a) Except as provided in subparagraph (b), each 
committee shall report one authorization resolution each year 
authorizing the committee to make expenditures out of the 
contingent fund of the Senate to defray its expenses, including 
the compensation of members of its staff and agency 
contributions related to such compensation, during the period 
beginning on March 1 of such year and ending on the last day of 
February of the following year. Such annual authorization 
resolution shall be reported not later than January 31 of each 
year, except that, whenever the designation of members of 
standing committees of the Senate occurs during the first 
session of a Congress at a date later than January 20, such 
resolution may be reported at any time within thirty days after 
the date on which the designation of such members is completed. 
After the annual authorization resolution of a committee for a 
year has been agreed to, such committee may procure 
authorization to make additional expenditures out of the 
contingent fund of the Senate during that year only by 
reporting a supplemental authorization resolution. Each 
supplemental authorization resolution reported by a committee 
shall amend the annual authorization resolution of such 
committee for that year and shall be accompanied by a report 
specifying with particularity the purpose for which such 
authorization is sought and the reason why such authorization 
could not have been sought at the time of the submission by 
such committee of its annual authorization resolution for that 
year.
    (b) In lieu of the procedure provided in subparagraph (a), 
the Committee on Rules and Administration may--
    (1) direct each committee to report an authorization 
    resolution for a two year budget period beginning on March 
    1 of the first session of a Congress; and
    (2) report one authorization resolution containing more 
    than one committee authorization resolution for a one year 
    or two year budget period.
    10. (a) All committee hearings, records, data, charts, and 
files shall be kept separate and distinct from the 
congressional office records of the Member serving as chairman 
of the committee; and such records shall be the property of the 
Senate and all members of the committee and the Senate shall 
have access to such records. Each committee is authorized to 
have printed and bound such testimony and other data presented 
at hearings held by the committee.
    (b) It shall be the duty of the chairman of each committee 
to report or cause to be reported promptly to the Senate any 
measure approved by his committee and to take or cause to be 
taken necessary steps to bring the matter to a vote. In any 
event, the report of any committee upon a measure which has 
been approved by the committee shall be filed within seven 
calendar days (exclusive of days on which the Senate is not in 
session) after the day on which there has been filed with the 
clerk of the committee a written and signed request of a 
majority of the committee for the reporting of that measure. 
Upon the filing of any such request, the clerk of the committee 
shall transmit immediately to the chairman of the committee 
notice of the filing of that request. This subparagraph does 
not apply to the Committee on Appropriations.
    (c) If at the time of approval of a measure or matter by 
any committee (except for the Committee on Appropriations), any 
member of the committee gives notice of intention to file 
supplemental, minority, or additional views, that member shall 
be entitled to-not less than three calendar days in which to 
file such views, in writing, with the clerk of the committee. 
All such views so filed by one or more members of the committee 
shall be included within, and shall be a part of, the report 
filed by the committee with respect to that measure or matter. 
The report of the committee upon that measure or matter shall 
be printed in a single volume which--
          (1) shall include all supplemental, minority, or 
        additional views which have been submitted by the time 
        of the filing of the report, and
          (2) shall bear upon its cover a recital that 
        supplemental, minority, or additional views are 
        included as part of the report.
    This subparagraph does not preclude--
          (A) the immediate filing and printing of a committee 
        report unless timely request for the opportunity to 
        file supplemental, minority, or additional views has 
        been made as provided by this subparagraph; or
          (B) the filing by any such committee of any 
        supplemental report upon any measure or matter which my 
        be required for the correction of any technical error 
        in a previous report made by that committee upon that 
        measure or matter.
    11. (a) The report accompanying each bill or joint 
resolution of a public character reported by any committee 
(except the Committee on Appropriations and the Committee on 
the Budget) shall contain--
          (1) an estimate, made by such committee, of the costs 
        which would be incurred in carrying out such bill or 
        joint resolution in the fiscal year in which it is 
        reported and in each of the five fiscal years following 
        such fiscal year (or for the authorized duration of any 
        program authorized by such bill or joint resolution, if 
        less than five years), except that, in the case of 
        measures affecting the revenue, such reports shall 
        require only an estimate of the gain or loss in 
        revenues for a one-year period; and
          (2) a comparison of the estimate of costs described 
        in subparagraph (1) made by such committee with any 
        estimate of costs made by any Federal agency; or
          (3) in lieu of such estimate or comparison, or both, 
        a statement of the reasons why compliance by the 
        committee with the requirements of subparagraph (1) or 
        (2), or both, is impracticable.
    (b) each such report (except those by the Committee on 
Appropriations) shall also contain--
          (1) an evaluation, made by such committee, of the 
        regulatory impact which would be incurred in carrying 
        out the bill or joint resolution. The evaluation shall 
        include (A) an estimate of the numbers of individuals 
        and businesses who would be regulated and a 
        determination of the groups and classes of such 
        individuals and businesses, (B) a determination of the 
        economic impact of such regulation on the individuals, 
        consumers, and businesses affected, (C) a determination 
        of the impact of the personal privacy of the 
        individuals affected, and (D) a determination of the 
        amount of additional paperwork that will result from 
        the regulations to be promulgated pursuant to the bill 
        or joint resolution, which determination may include, 
        but need not be limited to, estimates of the amount of 
        time and financial costs required of affected parties, 
        showing whether the effects of the bill or joint 
        resolution could be substantial, as well as reasonable 
        estimates of the recordkeeping requirements that may be 
        associated with the bill or joint resolution; or
          (2) in lieu of such evaluation, a statement of the 
        reasons why compliance by the committee with the 
        requirements of clause (1) is impracticable.
    (c) It shall not be in order for the Senate to consider any 
such bill or joint resolution if the report of the committee on 
such bill or joint resolution does not comply with the 
provisions of subparagraphs (a) and (b) on the objection of any 
Senator.
    12. Whenever a committee reports a bill or a joint 
resolution repealing or amending any statute or part thereof it 
shall make a report thereon and shall include in such report or 
in an accompanying document (to be prepared by the staff of 
such committee) (a) the text of the statute or part thereof 
which is proposed to be repealed; and (b) a comparative print 
of that part of the bill or joint resolution making the 
amendment and of the statute or part thereof proposed to be 
amended, showing by stricken through type and italics, parallel 
columns, or other appropriate typographical devices the 
omissions and insertions which would be made by the bill or 
joint resolution if enacted in the form recommended by the 
committee. This paragraph shall not apply to any such report in 
which it is stated that, in the opinion of the committee, it is 
necessary to dispense with the requirement of this subsection 
to expedite the business of the Senate--
    13. (a) Each committee (except the Committee on 
Appropriations) which has legislative jurisdiction shall, in 
its consideration of all bills and joint resolutions of a 
public character within its jurisdiction, endeavor to insure 
that--
          (1) all continuing programs of the Federal Government 
        and of the government of the District of Columbia, 
        within the jurisdiction of such committee or joint 
        committee, are designed; and
          (2) all continuing activities of Federal agencies, 
        within the jurisdiction of such committee or joint 
        committee, are carried on;
so that, to the extent consistent with the nature, 
requirements, and objectives of those programs and activities, 
appropriations therefor will be made annually.
    (b) Each committee (except the Committee on Appropriations) 
shall with respect to any continuing program within its 
jurisdiction for which appropriations are not made annually, 
review such program, from time to time, in order to ascertain 
whether such program could be modified so that appropriations 
therefor would be made annually.
