                                 REPORT

                 INTRODUCTION BY SENATOR JOHN F. KERRY,


            CHAIRMAN (111th CONGRESS), U.S. SENATE COMMITTEE


                        ON FOREIGN RELATIONS\1\

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
    \1\This review and report of activities of the Committee on Foreign 
Relations during the 110th 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.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
    The 110th Congress was an active and productive period for 
the Committee on Foreign Relations. The committee and its 
subcommittees held a total of 161 sessions, including hearings 
on critical foreign policy priorities, such as Iraq and 
Afghanistan, legislation, treaties, and nominations, briefings 
from members of the Executive Branch and non-governmental 
experts, and meetings with heads of state and senior officials 
of foreign governments. The committee's work included 
development of significant legislation and Senate approval of 
35 treaties and 182 nominations.

Legislation

    The committee's legislative efforts addressed the range of 
diverse and complex issues falling under its jurisdiction, 
including nuclear non-proliferation and arms control, efforts 
to combat the spread of HIV/AIDs abroad, international 
development, global poverty, climate change and other 
international environmental matters, international energy 
issues, and regional and country-specific matters. In the non-
proliferation arena, the committee focused extensively on 
providing approval to the U.S. agreement with India on peaceful 
nuclear cooperation. The committee, led by Senators Biden, 
Lugar, and Dodd, drafted and approved S. 3548, the U.S.-India 
Nuclear Cooperation Approval and Nonproliferation Enhancement 
Act, which approved the Agreement for Cooperation Between the 
Government of the United States of America and the Government 
of India Concerning Peaceful Uses of Nuclear Energy, while 
improving congressional oversight over implementation of the 
agreement. The same bill was later enacted into law as H.R. 
7081 (P.L. 110-369). Further, the committee reported favorably 
the Security Assistance Act of 2008 (S. 3563), a bill to 
authorize appropriations under the Arms Export Control Act and 
the Foreign Assistance Act of 1961 for security assistance for 
fiscal years 2009 and 2010; the Nuclear Safeguards and Supply 
Act of 2007 (S. 1138), and the Global Pathogen Surveillance Act 
of 2007 (S. 1138), a bill to improve U.S. and global responses 
to nuclear nonproliferation and man-made and natural biological 
threats.
    The committee's efforts on HIV/AIDS and other international 
health issues were substantial and yielded impressive results: 
It undertook a thorough review of HIV/AIDS, tuberculosis, and 
malaria programs prior to taking up reauthorization legislation 
to address these diseases. Committee staff traveled to 12 of 
the 15 designated ``focus countries'' of the President's 
Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR) to assess bilateral and 
U.S.-supported multilateral programs, and the full committee 
held 2 hearings exploring these issues, in addition to numerous 
staff briefings with the State Department, the United States 
Agency for International Development, the Institute of 
Medicine, the Government Accountability Office, and non-
governmental and faith-based organizations working in the 
field. Findings from these hearings, site visits, and 
assessments were incorporated into the subsequent legislation.
    On March 7, 2008, Chairman Biden and Ranking Member Lugar 
introduced S. 2731, the Tom Lantos and Henry J. Hyde United 
States Global Leadership Against HIV/AIDS, Tuberculosis, and 
Malaria Reauthorization Act of 2008. The committee approved an 
amended version of this legislation by a strong bipartisan vote 
of 18 to 3 on March 13, 2008, and it was reported to the Senate 
on April 15, 2008. The bill was ultimately cosponsored by 11 
additional Senators, including committee members Sununu, Hagel, 
Kerry, Dodd, and Obama. The President ultimately signed this 
legislation into law on July 30, 2008 (P.L. 110-293), thereby 
authorizing $48 billion over 5 years to combat HIV/AIDS, 
tuberculosis, and malaria and to strengthen health systems, as 
well as an additional $2 billion for other purposes. The 
legislation also set ambitious targets for the prevention, 
care, and treatment of HIV/AIDS; authorized enhanced efforts to 
combat tuberculosis and malaria; strengthened oversight of 
bilateral and multilateral programs; removed certain budgetary 
allocations or ``earmarks''; strengthened efforts to address 
the vulnerabilities of girls and women, prevent the 
transmission of HIV from mothers to children, and expand access 
to treatment for children, and repealed the legal prohibition 
on visas for persons infected with HIV.
    The committee also developed and passed legislation to 
strengthen U.S. security policy, including counterterrorism 
efforts, toward critical national security theatres. For 
example, the committee unanimously passed the Enhanced 
Partnership with Pakistan Act of 2008 (S. 3263) on July 26, 
2008. Senators Biden and Lugar introduced this bill with the 
intent to transform the relationship between the United States 
and Pakistan into a deeper, broader, long-term strategic 
engagement by properly balancing national security interests of 
the United States, especially in the area of economic and geo-
political interests. The overall level of economic assistance 
authorized for Pakistan would have been raised substantially, 
with the bulk of this aid intended for projects such as 
schools, roads, medical clinics, and infrastructure 
development.
    The committee also focused extensively on international 
development, global poverty relief, and debt reduction during 
the 110th Congress. On February 13, 2008, the committee 
favorably reported the Overseas Private Investment Corporation 
Reauthorization Act of 2008 (H.R. 2798), which sought to 
reauthorize the agency through September 30, 2011, strengthen 
the agency's development mandate, and ensure that its 
activities were consistent with United States foreign policy 
objectives. Further, the committee favorably reported the 
Jubilee Debt Relief Act (S. 2166), which was intended to 
provide for greater responsibility in lending and expanded 
cancellation of debts owed to the United States and 
international financial institutions by low-income countries; 
the Global Poverty Act (S. 2433), which would have required the 
President to develop and implement a comprehensive strategy to 
further the United States foreign policy objective of promoting 
the reduction of global poverty; the International Development 
Association Replenishment Act of 2008 (S. 3168), which would 
have authorized U.S. participation in the fifteenth 
replenishment of the International Development Association, and 
the African Development Fund Act of 2008 (S. 3169), which would 
have authorized U.S. participation in the eleventh 
replenishment of the resources of the African Development Fund.
    Recognizing the need for U.S. leadership to address global 
climate change, the committee favorably reported S. Res. 30 on 
March 29, 2007. This resolution, which was introduced by 
Senators Biden and Lugar and received 28 cosponsors, sought to 
express the sense of the Senate that the United States should 
act to reduce risks posed by global climate change and to 
foster economic growth by: (1) participating in negotiations 
under the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change 
and leading efforts in other international fora with the 
objective of securing U.S. participation in binding agreements 
that advance and protect U.S. interests, that establish 
mitigation commitments by all countries that are major emitters 
of greenhouse gases, that establish flexible international 
mechanisms to minimize the cost of efforts by participating 
countries, and that achieve a significant long-term reduction 
in global greenhouse gas emissions, and (2) establishing a 
bipartisan Senate observer group to monitor international 
negotiations on climate change and to ensure that the advice 
and consent function of the Senate is exercised to facilitate 
timely consideration of any applicable treaty.
    The committee also reported favorably S. J. Res. 17, which 
was enacted into law on June 3, 2008 (P.L. 110-243). Public Law 
110-243 resolves that: (1) the United States should initiate 
discussions to negotiate international agreements for managing 
migratory, transboundary, and straddling fish stocks in the 
Arctic Ocean and establishing new international fisheries 
management organizations for the region; (2) such agreements 
should conform with the United Nations Fish Stocks Agreement 
and contain mechanisms for establishing elements necessary for 
sustaining future Arctic fish stocks; (3) as international 
fisheries agreements are negotiated and implemented, the United 
States should consult with the North Pacific Regional Fishery 
Management Council and Alaska Native subsistence communities of 
the Arctic, and (4) until the agreements come into force, the 
United States should support international efforts to halt the 
expansion of commercial fishing activities in the high seas of 
the Arctic Ocean.
    Taking into account the close relationship among energy, 
the environment, and national security, the committee passed 
three noteworthy bills. The first, the Energy Diplomacy and 
Security Act (S. 193) was subsequently included in the Senate 
version of H.R.6, and portions of the legislation (most notably 
the establishment of a coordinator for International Energy 
Affairs) were signed into law on December 19, 2007. S. 193 
urges the Secretary of State to: (1) establish strategic energy 
partnerships with the governments of major energy producers and 
major energy consumers, and with governments of other 
countries; (2) expand energy emergency preparedness mechanisms; 
(3) create a regional-based ministerial Hemisphere Energy 
Cooperation Forum, and (4) integrate energy security priorities 
into core State Department activities and create a new 
coordinator for International Energy Affairs. The second, the 
Western Hemisphere Energy Compact (S. 1007), was passed out of 
committee, as amended, by unanimous consent on September 23, 
2008. The purpose of this bill was to promote cooperation 
between the United States and Brazil to develop partnerships 
with interested countries to promote energy security. The bill 
focused on accelerating development of sustainable bio-fuels 
production, research, particularly in next-generation bio-
fuels, and infrastructure. The third, the Tropical Forest and 
Coral Conservation Act of 2007 (S. 2020) was passed unanimously 
on October 15, 2007. This bill was intended to reauthorize a 
successful program that has conserved more than 47 million 
acres of tropical forests through debt-for-nature swaps. These 
swaps have facilitated the conservation of critical tropical 
forest land while reducing the debt of developing nations. 
Moreover, the program has given the United States greater 
credibility and contacts in the developing world to engage on 
the issue of deforestation.
    Other legislative work reflected the committee's focus on 
specific regions and countries. For example, the committee 
considered and approved several Asia-related bills. Two were 
signed into law: H.R. 5834 amended the North Korean Human 
Rights Act to create a full-time human rights envoy with the 
rank of ambassador (P.L. 110-346), and the committee also 
passed H.R. 3890, which enhanced U.S. economic sanctions on the 
government of Burma and created a special envoy position to 
develop a comprehensive diplomatic strategy to promote the 
restoration of civilian rule in Burma (P.L.110-286). The 
committee also passed resolutions congratulating South Korea on 
the election of President Lee Myung-bak and marking the 125th 
anniversary of the Treaty of Peace, Amity, Commerce and 
Navigation between the Kingdom of Choson (Korea) and the United 
States (S. Res. 444); commemorating the 30th anniversary of 
U.S. dialogue with ASEAN (S. Res. 110); commemorating the 175th 
anniversary of the special relationship between the United 
States and the Kingdom of Thailand (S. Con. Res. 66), and 
condemning the outbreak of violence in Tibet and calling on 
dialogue between the government of China and representatives of 
the Dalai Lama (S. Res. 504 and S. Res. 643).
    Finally, with regard to legislation, the committee remained 
engaged with ongoing crises in Africa, particularly the 
genocide in Darfur, holding a series of 2 briefings for members 
and 2 hearings on the situation in Sudan. The committee also 
discharged 8 resolutions related to the crisis in the region, 7 
of which were subsequently agreed to in the Senate.

Treaties

    The committee has exclusive jurisdiction within the Senate 
over treaties, and it was particularly active in this area 
during the 110th Congress. Thirty-seven treaties were favorably 
reported, and the Senate provided advice and consent to 
ratification to all but two. Among the thirty-five treaties 
approved by the Senate were international agreements concerning 
nuclear nonproliferation, counterterrorism and law enforcement, 
the laws of war, and NATO enlargement. These included the 
International Convention for Suppression of Acts of Nuclear 
Terrorism; a Protocol to the 1980 Convention on Conventional 
Weapons; the Hague Convention for the Protection of Cultural 
Property in the Event of Armed Conflict, and the Protocols to 
the North Atlantic Treaty of 1949 on the Accession of Albania 
and Croatia. Two landmark law-enforcement agreements--the 
Extradition and Mutual Legal Assistance Agreements with the 
European Union, were also passed by the committee and approved 
by the Senate. These treaties, which modernize, strengthen, and 
expand the law enforcement relationships between the United 
States and the European Union and its member states, were 
approved as part of a package that included forty-seven 
bilateral implementing agreements between the United States and 
European Union member states.
    The committee also held hearings and favorably reported the 
United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea and the 1996 
Protocol to the Convention on the Prevention of Marine 
Pollution by Dumping of Wastes and Other Matter. The full 
Senate did not take action on either treaty.
