       EXTRADITION TREATY BETWEEN THE GOVERNMENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF
                       AMERICA AND THE REPUBLIC OF CHILE

    September 17, 2014.--Treaty was read the first time, and together with
    the accompanying papers, referred to the Committee on Foreign Relations
              and ordered to be printed for the use of the Senate
                             LETTER OF TRANSMITTAL

                                  ----------

    To the Senate of the United States:
        I transmit herewith, for the advice and consent of the
    Senate to ratification, the Extradition Treaty between the
    Government of the United States of America and the Government
    of the Republic of Chile (the ``Treaty''), signed at Washington
    on June 5, 2013. I also transmit, for the information of the
    Senate, the report of the Department of State with respect to
    the Treaty.
        The Treaty would replace the outdated extradition treaty
    between the United States and Chile, signed at Santiago on
    April 17, 1900 (the ``1900 Treaty''). The Treaty follows
    generally the form and content of other extradition treaties
    recently concluded by the United States. It would replace an
    outmoded list of extraditable offenses with a modern ``dual
    criminality'' approach, which would enable extradition for such
    offenses as money laundering and other newer offenses not
    appearing on the list from the 1900 Treaty. The Treaty also
    contains a modernized ``political offense'' clause and provides
    that extradition shall not be refused based on the nationality
    of the person sought. Finally, the Treaty incorporates a series
    of procedural improvements to streamline and speed the
    extradition process.
        I recommend that the Senate give early and favorable
    consideration to the Treaty and give its advice and consent to
    its ratification.

                                                          Barack Obama.

                              LETTER OF SUBMITTAL

                                  ----------

                                           Department of State,
                                            Washington, March 10, 2014.
    The President,
    The White House.
        Dear Mr. President: I have the honor to submit to you the
    Extradition Treaty between the Government of the United States
    of America and the Government of the Republic of Chile
    (``Treaty''), signed at Washington, on June 5, 2013. Upon its
    entry into force, the Treaty would replace the Treaty between
    the United States of America and the Republic of Chile
    providing for the extradition of fugitives from justice, signed
    at Santiago on April 17, 1900 (``1900 Treaty''). I recommend
    that the Treaty be transmitted to the Senate for its advice and
    consent to ratification.
        The Treaty follows generally the form and content of other
    extradition treaties recently concluded by the United States.
    It is an important part of a concerted effort by the Department
    of State and the Department of Justice to modernize the legal
    tools available for the extradition of serious offenders. The
    Treaty is self-executing. It will not require implementing
    legislation.
        An overview of the Treaty, including a detailed article-by-
    article analysis, is enclosed with this report. The Department
    of Justice joins the Department of State in favoring approval
    of the Treaty by the Senate at the earliest possible date.
        Respectfully submitted,
                                                         John F. Kerry.
        Enclosures: As stated.
