                                                          Chairman.
                                FOREWORD

                              ----------                              

                          House of Representatives,
                              Committee on Foreign Affairs,
                                 Washington, DC, December 27, 2011.

    Under section 2 of rule X of the Rules of the House of 
Representatives, and section 136 of the Legislative

                                _______
                                

       Ms. Ros-Lehtinen, from the Committee on Foreign Affairs, 
                        submitted the following

                              R E P O R T

             I. INTRODUCTION: OVERSIGHT OF FOREIGN AFFAIRS


                 A. Authorities for Legislative Review

    The responsibilities and potentialities of legislative 
review are reflected in the multiple authorities available to 
the Committee on Foreign Affairs. The most prominent is section 
118 of the Legislative Reorganization Act of 1970 (Public Law 
91-510):

 Legislative Review by Standing Committees of the Senate and House of 
                            Representatives

    (a) Scope of assistance.
    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 of the Senate and 
        the House of Representatives 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 
        that committee. Such committees may carry out the 
        required analysis, appraisals, and evaluation 
        themselves, or by contract, or may require a Government 
        agency to do so and furnish a report thereon to the 
        Congress. 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.\1\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
    \1\Section 701 of the Congressional Budget and Impoundment Control 
Act of 1974 (Public Law 93-344) amended the original mandate and 
authority of the 1970 act by adding the last two sentences regarding 
program review and evaluation.

    A second type of authority fostering legislative review is 
the special oversight granted by the House Committee Reform 
Amendments of 1974 (H. Res. 988, approved Oct. 8, 1974). 
Special oversight, which is intended to enable committees to 
conduct comprehensive oversight of matters directly bearing 
upon their specified responsibilities even if those matters 
fall within the jurisdiction of other standing committees, 
permits an expansion of the legislative review jurisdiction of 
a committee. The Committee on Foreign Affairs currently has 
special oversight jurisdiction in four areas under clause 3(f) 
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
of House Rule X:

          3. (f) The Committee on Foreign Affairs shall review 
        and study on a continuing basis laws, programs, and 
        Government activities relating to customs 
        administration, intelligence activities relating to 
        foreign policy, international financial and monetary 
        organizations, and international fishing agreements.

    Reporting requirements in legislation frequently obligate 
various agencies, directly or through the President, to submit 
reports of certain activities to the Committee on Foreign 
Affairs to the Speaker of the House, who then transmits them to 
the committee. The House Committee on International Relations 
is the recipient of one of the largest quantities of required 
reports from the executive branch.
    In addition to the authorities noted above, the 
congressional budget process provides the committee with 
another important tool for oversight. Pursuant to section 
301(c) of the Congressional Budget and Impoundment Act of 1974, 
each standing committee of the House is required to submit to 
the Committee on the Budget, no later than March 15 of each 
year, a report containing its views and estimates on the 
President's proposed budget for the coming fiscal year. This 
requirement affords the committee and its subcommittees the 
opportunity to review those items in the President's budget 
which fall under the committee's jurisdiction, and to establish 
possible guidelines for subsequent action on authorizing 
legislation. The committee submitted an extensive, 15-page 
views and estimates letter, along with five additional pages of 
minority views, to the Committee on the Budget on March 18, 
2011.
    Finally, the authorization process itself provides the 
prospect of significant oversight impact, with opportunities 
for program evaluation as well as the investigation of 
personnel hiring and promotion practices, agency organization, 
employee development and benefit programs, policy guidance, and 
administrative rules and regulations regarding the 
implementation and execution of policy, among other items.

     B. Oversight Developments in the Committee on Foreign Affairs

    In the 109th Congress, the committee gained a 7th 
subcommittee, the ``Subcommittee on Oversight and 
Investigations,'' and the other six subcommittees were somewhat 
reorganized. The Subcommittee on Africa became the 
``Subcommittee on Africa, Global Human Rights and International 
Operations''; the Subcommittee on Europe became the 
``Subcommittee on Europe and Emerging Threats''; the 
Subcommittee on International Terrorism, Nonproliferation and 
Human Rights, became the ``Subcommittee on Terrorism and 
Nonproliferation.''
    In the 110th Congress, the name of the full committee 
changed from ``International Relations,'' back to ``Foreign 
Affairs.'' The committee had 7 subcommittees that were similar 
in name to the subcommittees of the 109th, with some 
rearrangement of oversight, and adding global health and global 
environment issues to the Africa Subcommittee, and the Asia-
Pacific Subcommittee, respectively.
    There were no substantive changes to the committee makeup 
in the 111th Congress.
    In the 112th Congress, the committee again has seven 
subcommittees. Three of the subcommittees have retained the 
same titles: Middle East and South Asia; Terrorism, 
Nonproliferation, and Trade; and the Western Hemisphere. The 
remaining four subcommittees have been reorganized into: 
Africa, Global Health, and Human Rights; Asia and the Pacific; 
Europe and Eurasia; and Oversight and Investigations.
    At the beginning of the 112th Congress, the Rules of the 
Committee on Foreign Affairs also were amended to clearly 
identify oversight expectations. Committee rule 15 (``Powers 
and Duties of Subcommittees'') now clearly requires regular 
hearings by each of the regional subcommittees on priority 
topics (oversight, national security, human rights, and U.S. 
economic interests) twice a year. Committee rule 24 (``General 
Oversight'') now makes clear that the committee or a 
subcommittee is required to hold at least three hearings a year 
on waste, fraud, abuse, or mismanagement as documented in a 
Government Accountability Office or Inspector General report.

                  C. Oversight Activities and Criteria

    The oversight activities of the Committee on Foreign 
Affairs include a variety of instruments and mechanisms--full 
committee and subcommittee hearings, member and staff study 
missions abroad, special Congressional Research Service 
studies, and General Accounting Office assistance and reports 
in the field of international relations.
    Committee and subcommittee hearings may be conducted for 
numerous purposes and may simultaneously serve more than one 
function, i.e., oversight, legislation, or public education. 
Thus, oversight may exist even when the hearing is not 
explicitly intended for that purpose. The criteria for 
determining whether a hearing performs the oversight function 
were identified by the House Select Committee on Committees in 
1973 and are as follows:\2\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
    \2\U.S. Congress, House. Select Committee on Committees. Committee 
Reform Amendments of 1974. Report, 93rd Congress, 2d session, March 21, 
1974 (H.Rept.No. 93-916, Part II).


          (1) To review and control unacceptable forms of 
        bureaucratic behavior;
          (2) To ensure that bureaucracy implements the policy 
        objectives of the Congress;
          (3) To analyze national and international problems 
        requiring Federal action; and
          (4) To determine the effectiveness of legislative 
        programs and policies.

    These same purposes help to define other committee activity 
which relates to its legislative review function. It should be 
noted that not all such activity can be included in this 
report. Oversight also occurs informally, not only through the 
formal processes and mechanisms noted above. Informal 
discussions between committee members and executive branch 
officials may constitute oversight in certain instances, as may 
staff examination of agency activity and behavior, and staff 
consultation with agency personnel apart from the normal 
hearing process.
    In summary, the legislative review activities of the House 
Committee on Foreign Affairs for the 112th Congress rely on 
extensive authorities embodied in the Legislative 
Reorganization Act of 1970 and reinforced through the 
authorization process, subsequent legislation, and reporting 
requirements.

                D. Oversight Plan for the 112th Congress

    Almost all of the committee's day-to-day activities, 
including hearings and informal meetings, involve oversight of 
the Administration or afford the committee the opportunity to 
learn of the impact of the Administration's foreign policy on 
foreign nations or the American people. In fulfillment of 
clause 1(d)(2) of House Rule XI, the committee's Oversight Plan 
(submitted under clause 2(d) of House Rule X) was set out in 
the committee's first Legislative Review and Oversight 
Activities Report of the 112th Congress (H.Rept. 112-126), 
filed on June 28, 2011.

             II. GENERAL REVIEW ACTIVITIES OF THE COMMITTEE


      A. Executive Branch Reports and Congressional Notifications

    Statutory reporting requirements, and the reports submitted 
in response to them, constitute one of the oldest information 
systems used by Congress. On every subject Congress covers, 
required reports offer a way to oversee and review the 
implementation of legislation by the executive branch.
    In the foreign policy field, it is particularly important 
to ensure that reporting requirements and the resultant reports 
submitted by the executive branch are an efficient mechanism 
for supplying Congress with information. Information on 
domestic problems is often easier to obtain from sources 
outside the executive branch than information on problems from 
abroad. Moreover, the executive branch has sometimes attempted 
to shield its activities in the foreign policy field from 
public view and treat it as its exclusive domain. The lack of 
information on foreign policy problems and executive branch 
activities has been one of the major reasons it has been more 
difficult for Congress to play its legitimate role in the 
making of foreign policy, although the Constitution expressly 
shares such powers between Congress and the President.
    For the Committee on Foreign Affairs, the improvement of 
the system of required reports offers more than tidier 
housekeeping. It offers another step toward a better supply of 
information that Congress needs to make foreign policy 
decisions. Through the careful placing of reporting 
requirements in legislation, the patient monitoring of the 
reports submitted by the executive branch in response to the 
requirements and utilization of the data supplied in them, 
Congress can improve its capacity for an effective foreign 
policy role.
    Committee staff also conducts a regular and robust review 
of Congressional notifications regarding the proposed 
obligation or reprogramming of funding for various program 
activities by our agencies of jurisdiction. During the 
reporting period, the committee has received 181 notifications 
from the Department of State and 198 from the United States 
Agency for International Development.

                         B. Reference Documents

    Periodically the Committee on Foreign Affairs compiles, 
prints, and distributes official documents which are useful to 
the membership in exercising the oversight function as well as 
other responsibilities. These include the Legislation on 
Foreign Relations. This 5-volume set is prepared under the 
direction of the staff of the House Committee on Foreign 
Affairs and the Senate Committee on Foreign Relations with the 
assistance of the Foreign Affairs and National Defense Division 
of the Congressional Research Service of the Library of 
Congress. This collection of laws and related materials 
contains texts referred to by the Committee on Foreign Affairs, 
and the Foreign Relations Committee, amended to date, and 
annotated to show pertinent history or cross references. The 
collection includes all laws concerning foreign relations, 
codified and in force, treaties in force, as well as executive 
agreements and orders, State Department regulations and State 
Department delegations of authorities.

 C. Study Missions and Participation in International Conferences and 
                                 Events

    The committee has kept itself informed of the latest 
developments in foreign affairs. The usual frequent conferences 
with senior government officials, both civil and military, have 
been augmented by special study missions to various parts of 
the world to obtain firsthand knowledge of the problems of 
foreign countries and the administration of U.S. programs and 
operations falling within the purview of the committee. 
Committee members also have been designated to serve as 
official delegates to a number of international conferences and 
events.
    In addition, members of the Committee on Foreign Affairs 
participated in the following interparliamentary exchanges 
during the second quarter of the 112th Congress:

          June 14-15 2011, 50th Annual Meeting of the 
        Mexico--United States Interparliamentary Group in 
        Washington D.C.

          June 28-July 2, 2011, 70th Meeting of the 
        Transatlantic Legislators Dialogue in Brussels, Belgium 
        and Budapest, Hungary.

          October 7-10, 2011, 57th Annual Meeting of 
        the NATO Parliamentary Assembly in Bucharest, Romania.

          December 1-4, 2011, 71st Meeting of the 
        Transatlantic Legislators Dialogue in Jacksonville, 
        Florida.

                  III. SUMMARY OF LEGISLATIVE ACTIVITY
