LEGISLATIVE ACTIVITIES REPORT

Mr. Lugar, from the Committee on Foreign Relations, submitted the
following
R E P O R T
INTRODUCTION BY SENATOR RICHARD LUGAR,
CHAIRMAN, SENATE COMMITTEE ON FOREIGN RELATIONS
This review and report of activities of the Committee on
Foreign Relations during the 107th Congress is submitted in
response to the requirements of Rule XXVI 8(b) of the Standing
Rules of the Senate, which stipulate that all standing
committees report to the Senate, not later than March 31 of
each odd-numbered year, on its legislative actitities during
the preceding Congress.
During the 107th Congress, the Committee had two Chairmen,
the result of the extraordinary switch in control of the Senate
which occurred in June 2001. Thus, Senator Helms presided over
the Committee from January to early June 2001; Senator Biden
chaired the Committee from early June 2001 to the end of 2002.
The Committee was affected, as were all others in Congress,
by the tragic attacks of September 11, 2001, and the anthrax
attack on the United States Senate in the autumn of 2001. The
former resulted in increased focus by most Senate committees,
including this one, on the threat of terrorism; the latter
event had a practical effect of displacing the Committee from
its main hearing room and the Committee staff from its offices
for a period of time. Despite the change in control and the
anthrax attacks, however, the work of the Committee was not
materially disrupted, and it was a productive Congress.
The major legislative project of the Committee was the
Foreign Relations Authorization Act, Fiscal Year 2003 (P.L.
107-228), which included the State Department Authorization Act
and the Security Assistance Act. This law included major
provisions such as an authorization of debt relief for Russia
in exchange for investment in non-proliferation activities, a
revision of the ``drug certification'' law, and important
framework legislation to guide U.S. policy in Tibet and East
Timor. The law also finished a six-year long project, begun by
Senators Helms and Biden in 1997, to pay back U.S. arrears to
the United Nations (under the United Nations Reform Act of
1999, also known as the ``Helms-Biden'' law). The Committee
also produced major legislation guiding U.S. policy on the
reconstruction of Afghanistan. Other significant bills were
initiated by Committee members and approved by the Senate, but
were not acted on by the House of Representatives. These bills
addressed issues such as bioterrorism, HIV/AIDS, and the Peace
Corps.
The Committee reported 20 treaties, 19 of which were
approved by the Senate. These included two major UN treaties on
terrorism, two treaties to advance protection around the world
of children, several bilateral law enforcement treaties, and
several environmental treaties. The one treaty reported by the
Committee, but not acted on by the Senate, was the Convention
on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination Against
Women, which, under the Senate rules, was returned to the
Committee calendar at the end of the Congress. The Committee
also conducted several hearings on the strategic arms reduction
treaty with Russia (the ``Moscow Treaty''), which President
Bush and Russian President Putin signed in May 2002.
The Committee held dozens of oversight hearings and
hearings on presidential nominees. Review of nominations
consumed a substantial amount of time during the first session
of the Congress because the change in presidential
administrations, necessarily, resulted in a large volume of
nominations for senior Executive Branch positions. The
oversight hearings focused on several topics, most prominently
the war on terrorism, non-proliferation, the war in Afghanistan
and the effort to rebuild that country, and a possible war in
Iraq. The hearings the Committee held in July and August 2002
on the Iraq question were credited with spurring a national
debate on United States policy with regard to Iraq.
The table that follows is a tabulation of the legislation
in this report.
