          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\1\

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
    \1\ This review and report of activities of the Committee on 
Foreign Relations during the 108th 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 
activities during the preceding Congress.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
    During the 108th Congress, the Committee on Foreign 
Relations pursued an ambitious agenda, which included 249 
hearings and formal meetings. This number consisted of 158 full 
committee hearings and meetings, 42 subcommittee hearings, 47 
meetings with foreign leaders, and two meetings of the Policy 
Advisory Group. The Foreign Relations Committee met more 
frequently than any other committee in the Senate. No other 
Senate committee held more than 161 meetings. Only three Senate 
committees met half as often as the Foreign Relations 
Committee.
    The committee devoted much attention to overseeing U.S. 
policy towards Iraq during the 108th Congress. The committee 
held 23 hearings on Iraq--5 prior to the coalition invasion and 
18 after that time. The committee examined numerous issues 
related to Iraq, including security threats within the country, 
the regional implications of the conflict in Iraq, the 
allocation and management of reconstruction funds, the status 
of the coalition operating in Iraq, and the prospects for Iraqi 
democracy and a transition to a civil society.
    Beyond Iraq, the full committee held 9 hearings on North 
Korea, 5 each on Afghanistan and the expansion of the North 
Atlantic Treaty Organization, and 4 on non-proliferation 
issues. Other topics on which multiple hearings were held 
included: U.S. public diplomacy, international hunger, the 
State Department budget, the Millennium Challenge Account, U.S. 
foreign assistance programs, Middle East peace negotiations, 
the African Growth and Opportunity Act, and the HIV/AIDS 
crisis. Other nations on which the committee held a hearing 
included: China, Colombia, Cuba, Haiti, Iran, Libya, Mexico, 
Pakistan, Sudan, Syria, and Venezuela.
    The committee on Foreign Relations has the unique 
responsibility to receive foreign dignitaries, including 
presidents, prime ministers, and foreign ministers. The 
committee held 47 diplomatic meetings with visiting 
dignitaries. These included meetings with leaders from 
Colombia, Egypt, Georgia, Germany, Greece, India, Israel, 
Italy, Jordan, Pakistan, the Philippines, and many other 
nations.
    The committee confirmed 169 nominations during the 108th 
Congress, more than all but one other Senate committee. The 
committee also confirmed 2816 Foreign Service promotions. Of 
the 169 nominations, 98 were for ambassadorial positions. The 
hearings associated with these nominations are important 
statements of U.S. policy that are carefully scrutinized by the 
nation that will receive the ambassador, as well as others in 
the affected region. Among the most notable ambassadorial 
nominations passed by the committee during the 108th Congress 
were John Danforth to be U.S. Representative to the United 
Nations and John Negroponte to be Ambassador to Iraq.
    The committee reported 27 treaties, 26 of which were 
approved by the Senate. These included the NATO Enlargement 
Protocols (Treaty Doc. 108-4), the Moscow Treaty (Treaty Doc. 
107-8), and the IAEA Additional Protocol (Treaty Doc. 107-7).
    The one treaty approved by the committee that was not 
passed by the Senate was the U.N. Convention on the Law of the 
Sea (Treaty Doc. 103-39), which, under Senate rules, was 
returned to the committee calendar at the end of the Congress. 
The Law of the Sea was one of five treaties that the Bush 
administration placed in its ``urgent'' category on their 2002 
list of treaty priorities submitted to the Foreign Relations 
Committee. The committee held two extensive public hearings on 
the Convention at which administration and private witnesses 
testified. The treaty received the endorsement of the State 
Department, the Defense Department, the Navy, the Commerce 
Department, the Coast Guard, and other agencies. Between 
October 2003 and February 2004, the SFRC held four briefings on 
Law of the Sea for committee staff and the staff of all 
committee members. In February 2004, the committee approved the 
resolution of ratification 19-0. Subsequently, the treaty did 
not receive floor time in the Senate.
    In each session of the 108th Congress, the committee 
reported by a vote of 19-0 a comprehensive foreign affairs 
authorization bill (S. 1161 and S. 2144), authorizing 
appropriations for the operating budgets and programs of the 
State Department, the U.S. Agency for International 
Development, the Peace Corps and the Broadcasting Board of 
Governors. In addition to authorizing funding, the legislation 
provided personnel authorities and updated other authorities 
that the foreign affairs agencies need to carry out their 
functions efficiently and effectively. In considering both 
bills, the committee emphasized such priorities as the 
effectiveness of the non-military side of the U.S. Government 
in the battle against terrorism, the safety of U.S. personnel 
serving in embassies overseas, adequate compensation for those 
serving in dangerous posts, and improved effectiveness of 
international information and education programs.
    During floor consideration in July 2003, other committee 
initiatives were added to the bill, including authorization of 
the Millennium Challenge Corporation. After two days on the 
Senate floor, the bill was pulled from consideration after an 
amendment was offered on a domestic issue unrelated to the 
contents of the bill. During the second session of the 108th 
Congress, the continued threat of unrelated amendments and 
other factors kept the foreign affairs authorization bill from 
being brought to the floor.
    Despite the legislative stalemate on the comprehensive 
legislation, the committee advanced key components of the bill 
through other means. The committee worked in a bipartisan 
fashion with Senate appropriators as well as with the House 
International Relations Committee to include congressional 
authorization of the Millennium Challenge Corporation in the FY 
2004 Consolidated Appropriations bill (PL 108-199). The 
committee also worked with the Governmental Affairs Committee 
to pass a modified version of a committee bill establishing a 
free press institute at the National Endowment for Democracy 
(S. 2096). The modified bill was included in the intelligence 
reform legislation that passed the Congress in December 2004 
(PL 108-458).
    In 2003, the Foreign Relations Committee initiated a Policy 
Advisory Group (PAG) to study how best to organize the U.S. 
government in preparation for post-conflict stabilization and 
reconstruction missions. This group of outside experts met 
twice with the committee. From this process, the committee 
developed the bipartisan Stabilization and Reconstruction 
Civilian Management Act of 2004 (S. 2127), introduced by 
Senators Lugar, Biden, and Hagel. The bill was included in the 
comprehensive foreign affairs authorization bill, which the 
committee passed unanimously. It attempts to establish a more 
robust civilian capability to respond quickly and effectively 
to post-conflict situations or other complex emergencies. After 
committee passage of S. 2127, the Bush administration pressed 
forward with complementary administrative changes. The 
administration established the Office of Reconstruction and 
Stabilization at the State Department to coordinate U.S. post-
conflict responses and prepare for future contingencies.
    The committee was active in international economic matters 
during the 108th Congress. The committee passed seven tax 
conventions and protocols, including the landmark Japan Tax 
Treaty (Treaty Doc. 108-14). Each of these tax treaties was 
approved by the Senate. The committee expedited passage of the 
Japan Tax Treaty and the Chairman encouraged the Japanese Diet 
to do the same. Both legislative bodies concluded work on the 
Treaty prior to March 31, 2004. As a result of this action, 
some provisions of the Treaty went into force on July 1, 2004, 
instead of January 1, 2005, as anticipated. This allowed 
American companies doing business in Japan to receive the 
economic benefits of the treaty six months earlier than 
planned.
    The committee and the Senate also passed 8 protocols 
amending bilateral investment treaties and a reauthorization of 
the Overseas Private Investment Corporation (PL 108-158). In 
addition, it played an important role in the passage of the 
AGOA Acceleration Act of 2004 (PL 108-274), even though this 
bill fell under the jurisdiction of the Finance Committee. The 
committee held two hearings on the bill, which highlighted its 
importance as a foreign policy tool and as a means to improve 
development in Africa.
    Matters related to the international environment also 
received committee attention during the 108th Congress. The 
committee reauthorized the Tropical Forest Conservation Act (PL 
108-323) and passed two fishing treaties (Treaty Docs. 108-1 
and 108-2) and a treaty with Russia on polar bear conservation 
(Treaty Doc. 107-10). The committee also held a hearing and 
briefing on the Stockholm Convention on Persistent Organic 
Pollutants (Treaty Doc. 107-5) and the Rotterdam Convention on 
the Prior Informed Consent Procedure for Certain Hazardous 
Chemicals and Pesticides in International Trade (Treaty Doc. 
106-21). These two conventions are still pending before the 
committee.
    The committee developed the Comprehensive Peace in Sudan 
Act (S. 2781), which authorized an additional $300 million in 
assistance to relieve the humanitarian crisis in Sudan. The 
bill was announced at a hearing on Sudan where Secretary of 
State Colin Powell testified that the State Department had 
``concluded that genocide has been committed in Darfur.'' The 
bill became law in December 2004 (PL 108-497).
    The committee held the first Congressional hearing on 
corruption and mismanagement in the U.N.'s Oil for Food program 
related to Iraq. It also launched an ongoing review of the 
operations of the five multilateral development banks--the 
Asian Development Bank, the World Bank, the European Bank of 
Reconstruction and Development, the African Development Bank, 
and the Inter-American Development Bank. The committee held 
three hearings and sent committee staff to the Philippines, 
Paraguay, Lesotho, Argentina, Sri Lanka, Cambodia and South 
Africa to look into corruption allegations. A key purpose of 
the banks is to alleviate poverty in third-world countries. The 
committee plans to continue monitoring their performance and 
will consider legislation containing reform measures to combat 
corruption within the banks and their funding processes.
    In fulfilling its legislative and oversight 
responsibilities, the committee passed 20 bills and joint 
resolutions and 39 concurrent and Senate resolutions. The table 
that follows is a tabulation of the legislation in this report:
