          Mr. Risch, from the Committee on Foreign Relations,
                        submitted the following

                                 REPORT

          INTRODUCTION BY SENATOR JAMES E. RISCH, CHAIRMAN\1\

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
    \1\This review and report of activities of the Committee on Foreign 
Relations during the 115th 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.




                                              (1)
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
    The Committee on Foreign Relations maintained an ambitious 
agenda during the 115th Congress. The committee and its 
subcommittees conducted a total of 181 sessions, comprised of 
hearings and briefings on significant U.S. foreign policy 
priorities as well as consideration of legislation, 
nominations, and treaties. Committee activity included the 
following:

   Establishing the United States International Development 
        Finance Corporation to promote the participation and 
        growth of private sector development in countries with 
        low and middle-income economies and countries 
        transitioning from non-market to market economies in 
        order to complement U.S. assistance and foreign policy 
        objectives. This bipartisan, bicameral effort was 
        realized in the ``Better Utilization Act of Investments 
        Leading to Development Act of 2018'' or the ``BUILD Act 
        of 2018.'' The BUILD Act was introduced by Chairman 
        Corker on February 27, 2018, and the committee held a 
        hearing on modernizing development finance on May 10, 
        2018. The bill was marked up by the committee on June 
        26, 2018, and it was ultimately incorporated into H.R. 
        302, the ``Federal Aviation Administration 
        Reauthorization Act of 2018,'' which passed the Senate 
        on October 3, 2018. It was signed by the President on 
        October 5, 2018, becoming Public Law No: 115-254.

   Responding to aggression from Iran, Russia, and North 
        Korea, the committee developed sanctions provisions 
        that were ultimately incorporated into H.R. 3364, the 
        ``Countering America's Adversaries Through Sanctions 
        Act,'' or CAATSA. In response to Iran, the committee 
        reported S. 722, ``Countering Iran's Destabilizing 
        Activities Act of 2017'' on May 25, 2017. Subsequently, 
        Russian and North Korean sanctions were incorporated 
        into the broader CAATSA sanctions package with key 
        support from the committee. CAATSA passed the House of 
        Representatives by a vote of 419-3 on July 25, 2017 and 
        the Senate by a vote of 98 to 2 on July 27, 2017. It 
        was signed into law by the President on August 2, 2017 
        (Public Law No. 115-44). In addition to developing the 
        legislation that ultimately became CAATSA, the 
        committee, in conjunction with the Committee on 
        Banking, Housing, and Urban Affairs, held a series of 
        hearings focused on U.S.-Russia relations.

   Imposing consequences on the Palestinian Authority for its 
        support for acts of terrorism that have claimed 
        American lives, including an American student in Tel 
        Aviv. The committee marked up S. 1697, the Taylor Force 
        Act, a bill to condition certain forms of assistance to 
        the West Bank and Gaza on steps by the Palestinian 
        Authority to end violence directed against Israeli and 
        United States citizens. It called on the Palestinian 
        Authority to cease support for individuals and related 
        family members of individuals who commit acts of 
        terrorism. The bill was reported by the committee on 
        September 6, 2017. It was then incorporated into H.R. 
        1625, the ``Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2018,'' 
        which was signed into law on March 23, 2018 and became 
        Public Law No: 115-141.

   Undertaking efforts to improve State Department oversight 
        and strengthen its functions in order to advance the 
        interests of the American people. S. 1631, the 
        ``Department of State Authorities Act, Fiscal Year 
        2018'' was marked up by the committee and reported on 
        September 6, 2017 in an effort to improve embassy 
        construction and cost savings, require confirmation of 
        special envoys, and ensure Congress would play a 
        productive role in the reorganization of the 
        department. It also would have authorized the State 
        Department's Office of Global Women's Issues, the 
        Bureau of Democracy, Human Rights, and Labor, and an 
        Assistant Secretary for International Narcotics and Law 
        Enforcement Affairs, as well as the establishment of an 
        Office of International Disability Rights.

   Recommitting to the fight against HIV/AIDS by extending the 
        President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR) for 
        another five years. PEPFAR was established in 2003 as 
        an emergency response to the global AIDS pandemic, 
        primarily on the continent of Africa, and has since 
        been extended three times. S. 3476, the ``PEPFAR 
        Extension Act of 2018,'' co-authored by Chairman Corker 
        and Ranking Member Menendez, extended PEPFAR 
        authorities and improved oversight provisions through 
        Fiscal Year 2023 to ensure life-saving prevention and 
        treatment services would remain available to those in 
        need. It was marked up by the committee on September 
        26, 2018. The House version of this legislation, H.R. 
        6651, passed the House on November 13, 2018. H.R. 6651 
        then passed the Senate on November 28, 2018 and was 
        signed by the President on December 11, 2018, becoming 
        Public Law No: 115-305.

   Bolstering the committee's dedication to upholding human 
        rights and ending the global tragedy of human 
        trafficking. In October 2018, the committee reported S. 
        1862, a bill to amend the Trafficking Victims 
        Protection Act of 2000 to modify the criteria for 
        determining whether countries are meeting the minimum 
        standards for the elimination of human trafficking, and 
        H.R. 2200, the Frederick Douglass Trafficking Victims 
        Prevention and Protection Reauthorization Act of 2018. 
        S. 1862 passed the Senate by voice vote on December 17, 
        2018 and the House on December 21, 2018 by a vote of 
        370-0. It was signed into law on January 9, 2019 
        (Public Law No. 115-427). H.R. 2200 passed the Senate 
        by voice vote on December 17, 2018 and the House by a 
        vote of 368 to 7 on December 21, 2018. It was signed 
        into law on January 8, 2019 (Public Law No. 115-425). 
        The committee also held hearings on the fight to end 
        global slavery and the release of the annual 
        Trafficking in Persons (TIP) Report from the State 
        Department.

   Responding to food crises while promoting agriculture-led 
        economic growth through S. 2269, a bill to reauthorize 
        the Global Food Security Act of 2016 for five 
        additional years. The bill amended the Global Food 
        Security Act of 2016 to extend through Fiscal Year 2023 
        authorities and transparency requirements for a 
        comprehensive global food security strategy that 
        catalyzes agriculture-led economic growth and reduces 
        long-term dependence on U.S. food assistance. It also 
        extends through Fiscal Year 2023 the international 
        disaster assistance and emergency food security 
        programs, as authorized in the Foreign Assistance Act 
        of 1961. In extending the Global Food Security Act, the 
        committee reaffirmed its commitment to addressing the 
        full continuum of food security, from providing the 
        flexibility needed to stretch emergency food aid 
        dollars farther and saving more lives, to enabling 
        communities to grow their own way out of hunger and 
        poverty. S. 2269 was reported by the committee on May 
        22, 2018 and passed by the full Senate on June 19, 
        2018. It was passed by the House on September 28, 2018 
        and signed into law on October 11, 2018, becoming 
        Public Law No: 115-266.

   Considering and reporting the Marrakesh Treaty to 
        Facilitate Access to Published Works for Persons Who 
        Are Blind, Visually Impaired, or Otherwise Print 
        Disabled, which will facilitate access to books and 
        other published materials for the blind. The committee 
        held a hearing on the treaty on April 18, 2018, with 
        testimony from the State Department and other key 
        stakeholders, including representatives for the 
        National Federation of the Blind, the Association of 
        American Publishers, and the Library Copyright 
        Alliance, all of which supported the U.S. ratification 
        of the treaty and the bill to implement it. The 
        resolution of advice and consent to ratification for 
        this treaty was agreed to by the full Senate on June 
        28, 2018. Chairman Corker and Ranking Member Menendez 
        also cosponsored S. 2559, the Marrakesh Treaty 
        Implementation Act, which passed both Houses of 
        Congress and was signed into law on October 9, 2018 
        (Public Law No. 115-261).
   In addition to the Marrakesh Treaty, the committee also 
        approved five other treaties. The committee reported 
        two extradition treaties--one with the Republic of 
        Serbia and one with the Republic of Kosovo, on June 7, 
        2018. Resolutions of advice and consent to each of 
        these treaties were agreed to by the full Senate on 
        July 26, 2018. The committee reported treaties on the 
        delimitation of maritime boundaries with the Federated 
        States of Micronesia and the Republic of Kiribati on 
        May 15, 2018. Resolutions of advice and consent to each 
        of these treaties were agreed to on July 26, 2018. In 
        addition, the committee reported the U.N. Convention on 
        the Assignment of Receivables in International Trade on 
        September 12, 2018, and a resolution of advice and 
        consent to ratification of this treaty was agreed to by 
        the Senate on January 2, 2019.

consideration of ``privileged'' nominations. Under procedures 
set forth in S. Res. 116, privileged nominations are not 
referred to their respective committees of jurisdiction but are 
placed on the Senate Executive Calendar under a newly-created 
privileged section. Upon receipt of nominees' paperwork by the 
committees of jurisdiction, the full Senate is free to consider 
privileged nominations under normal procedures after a period 
of 10 session days.
    Following are the nominations received during the 115th 
Congress for positions that fall under the jurisdiction of the 
committee and are governed by S. Res. 116 procedures: two 
nominees to be Assistant Secretary of State for Legislative 
Affairs, Members of the Board of Directors of the Overseas 
Private Investment Corporation, Members of the Board of 
Directors of the Millennium Challenge Corporation, and Member 
of the Board of Directors of the Inter-American Foundation. The 
Senate confirmed the nominees to State Department Legislative 
Affairs and the other 10 nominations were returned to the 
President upon adjournment of the Second Session.
