               RULES OF THE COMMITTEE ON FOREIGN RELATIONS

                      (Adopted January 30, 1997.)
                              ------------
                          Rule 1--Jurisdiction
  (a) Substantive.--In accordance with Senate Rule XXV.1(j), the 
jurisdiction of the Committee shall extend to all proposed legislation, 
messages, petitions, memorials, and other matters relating to the 
following subjects:
      1. Acquisition of land and buildings for embassies and legations 
    in foreign countries.
      2. Boundaries of the United States.
      3. Diplomatic service.
      4. Foreign economic, military, technical, and humanitarian 
    assistance.
      5. Foreign loans.
      6. International activities of the American National Red Cross and 
    the International Committee of the Red Cross.
      7. International aspects of nuclear energy, including nuclear 
    transfer policy.
      8. International conferences and congresses.
      9. International law as it relates to foreign policy.
      10. International Monetary Fund and other international 
    organizations established primarily for international monetary 
    purposes (except that, at the request of the Committee on Banking, 
    Housing, and Urban Affairs, any proposed legislation relating to 
    such subjects reported by the Committee on Foreign Relations shall 
    be referred to the Committee on Banking, Housing, and Urban 
    Affairs).
      11. Intervention abroad and declarations of war.
      12. Measures to foster commercial intercourse with foreign nations 
    and to safeguard American business interests abroad.

      18. United Nations and its affiliated organizations.
      19. World Bank group, the regional development banks, and other 
    international organizations established primarily for development 
    assistance purposes.
  The Committee is also mandated by Senate Rule XXV.1(j) to study and 
review, on a comprehensive basis, matters relating to the national 
security policy, foreign policy, and international economic policy as it 
relates to foreign policy of the United States, and matters relating to 
food, hunger, and nutrition in foreign countries, and report thereon 
from time to time.

  (b) Oversight.--The Committee also has a responsibility under Senate 
Rule XXVI.8, which provides that ``. . . each standing Committee . . . 
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 the Committee.''
  (c) ``Advice and Consent'' Clauses.--The Committee has a special 
responsibility to assist the Senate in its constitutional function of 
providing ``advice and consent'' to all treaties entered into by the 
United States and all nominations to the principal executive branch 
positions in the field of foreign policy and diplomacy.
                          Rule 2--Subcommittees
  (a) Creation.--Unless otherwise authorized by law or Senate 
resolution, subcommittees shall be created by majority vote of the 
Committee and shall deal with such legislation and oversight of programs 
and policies as the Committee directs. Legislative measures or other 
matters may be referred to a subcommittee for consideration in the 
discretion of the Chairman or by vote of a majority of the Committee. If 
the principal subject matter of a measure or matter to be referred falls 
within the jurisdiction of more than one subcommittee, the Chairman or 
the Committee may refer the matter to two or more subcommittees for 
joint consideration.
  (b) Assignments.--Assignments of members to subcommittees shall be 
made in an equitable fashion. No member of the Committee may receive 
assignment to a second subcommittee until, in order of seniority, all 
members of the Committee have chosen assignments to one subcommittee, 
and no member shall receive assignments to a third subcommittee until, 
in order of seniority, all members have chosen assignments to two 
subcommittees.
  No member of the Committee may serve on more than four subcommittees 
at any one time.
  The Chairman and Ranking Minority Member of the Committee shall be ex 
officio members, without vote, of each subcommittee.
  (c) Meetings.--Except when funds have been specifically made available 
by the Senate for a subcommittee purpose, no subcommittee of the 
Committee on Foreign Relations shall hold hearings involving expenses 
without prior approval of the Chairman of the full Committee or by 
decision of the full Committee. Meetings of subcommittees shall be 
scheduled after consultation with the Chairman of the Committee with a 
view toward avoiding conflicts with meetings of other subcommittees 
insofar as possible. Meetings of subcommittees shall not be scheduled to 
conflict with meetings of the full Committee.
  The proceedings of each subcommittee shall be governed by the rules of 
the full Committee, subject to such authorizations or limitations as the 
Committee may from time to time prescribe.

                            Rule 3--Meetings
  (a) Regular Meeting Day.--The regular meeting day of the Committee on 
Foreign Relations for the transaction of Committee business shall be on 
Tuesday of each week, unless otherwise directed by the Chairman.
  (b) Additional Meetings.--Additional meetings and hearings of the 
Committee may be called by the Chairman as he may deem necessary. If at 
least three members of the Committee desire that a special meeting of 
the Committee be called by the Chairman, those members may file in the 
offices of the Committee their written request to the Chairman for that 
special meeting. Immediately upon filing of the request, the Chief Clerk 
of the Committee shall notify the Chairman of the filing of the request. 
If, within three calendar days after the filing of the request, the 
Chairman does not call the requested special meeting, to be held within 
seven calendar days after the filing of the request, a majority of the 
members of the Committee may file in the offices of the Committee their 
written notice that a special meeting of the Committee will be held, 
specifying the date and hour of that special meeting. The Committee 
shall meet on that date and hour. Immediately upon the filing of the 
notice, the Clerk shall notify all members of the Committee that such 
special meeting will be held and inform them of its date and hour.
  (c) Minority Request.--Whenever any hearing is conducted by the 
Committee or a subcommittee upon any measure or matter, the minority on 
the Committee shall be entitled, upon request made by a majority of the 
minority members to the Chairman before the completion of such hearing, 
to call witnesses selected by the minority to testify with respect to 
the measure or matter during at least one day of hearing thereon.
  (d) Public Announcement.--The Committee, or any subcommittee thereof, 
shall make public announcement of the date, place, time, and subject 
matter of any hearing to be conducted on any measure or matter at least 
one week in advance of such hearings, unless the Chairman of the 
Committee, or subcommittee, determines that there is good cause to begin 
such hearing at an earlier date.
  (e) Procedure.--Insofar as possible, proceedings of the Committee will 
be conducted without resort to the formalities of parliamentary 
procedure and with due regard for the views of all members. Issues of 
procedure which may arise from time to time shall be resolved by 
decision of the Chairman, in consultation with the Ranking Minority 
Member. The Chairman, in consultation with the Ranking Minority Member, 
may also propose special procedures to govern the consideration of 
particular matters by the Committee.
  (f) Closed Sessions.--Each meeting of the Committee on Foreign 
Relations, or any subcommittee thereof, including meetings to conduct 
hearings, shall be open to the public, except that a meeting or series 
of meetings by the Committee or a subcommittee on the same subject for a 
period of no more than fourteen calendar days may be closed to the 
public on a motion made and seconded to go into closed session to 
discuss only whether the matters enumerated in paragraphs (1) through 
(6) would require the meeting to be closed followed immediately by a 
record vote in open session by a majority of the members of the 
Committee or subcommittee when it is determined that the matters to be 
discussed or the testimony to be taken at such meeting or meetings--
      (1) will disclose matters necessary to be kept secret in the 
    interests of national defense or the confidential conduct of the 
    foreign relations of the United States;
      (2) will relate solely to matters of Committee staff personnel or 
    internal staff management or procedure;

      (3) will tend to charge an individual with crime or misconduct; to 
    disgrace or injure the professional standing of an individual, or 
    otherwise to expose an individual to public contempt or obloquy, or 
    will represent a clearly unwarranted invasion of the privacy of an 
    individual;
      (4) will disclose the identity of any informer or law enforcement 
    agent or will disclose any information relating to the investigation 
    or prosecution of a criminal offense that is required to be kept 
    secret in the interests of effective law enforcement;
      (5) will disclose information relating to the trade secrets or 
    financial or commercial information pertaining specifically to a 
    given person if--
      (A) an Act of Congress requires the information to be kept 
    confidential by Government officers and employees; or
      (B) the information has been obtained by the Government on a 
    confidential basis, other than through an application by such person 
    for a specific Government financial or other benefit, and is 
    required to be kept secret in order to prevent undue injury to the 
    competitive position of such person, or
      (6) may divulge matters required to be kept confidential under 
    other provisions of law or Government regulations.
  A closed meeting may be opened by a majority vote of the Committee.
  (g) Staff Attendance.--A member of the Committee may have one member 
of his or her personal staff, for whom that member assumes personal 
responsibility, accompany and be seated nearby at Committee meetings.
  Each member of the Committee may designate members of his or her 
personal staff, who hold a Top Secret security clearance, for the 
purpose of their eligibility to attend closed sessions of the Committee, 
subject to the same conditions set forth for Committee staff under Rules 
12, 13, and 14.
  In addition, the Majority Leader and the Minority Leader of the 
Senate, if they are not otherwise members of the Committee, may 
designate one member of their staff with a Top Secret security clearance 
to attend closed sessions of the Committee, subject to the same 
conditions set forth for Committee staff under Rules 12, 13, and 14. 
Staff of other Senators who are not members of the Committee may not 
attend closed sessions of the Committee.
  Attendance of Committee staff at meetings shall be limited to those 
designated by the Staff Director or the Minority Staff Director.
  The Committee, by majority vote, or the Chairman, with the concurrence 
of the Ranking Minority Member, may limit staff attendance at specified 
meetings.
                             Rule 4--Quorums
  (a) Testimony.--For the purpose of taking sworn or unsworn testimony 
at any duly scheduled meeting a quorum of the Committee and each 
subcommittee thereof shall consist of one member.
  (b) Business.--A quorum for the transaction of Committee or 
subcommittee business, other than for reporting a measure or 
recommendation to the Senate or the taking of testimony, shall consist 
of one-third of the members of the Committee or subcommittee, including 
at least one member from each party.

  (c) Reporting.--A majority of the membership of the Committee shall 
constitute a quorum for reporting any measure or recommendation to the 
Senate. No measure or recommendation shall be ordered reported from the 
Committee unless a majority of the Committee members are physically 
present. The vote of the Committee to report a measure or matter shall 
require the concurrence of a majority of those members who are 
physically present at the time the vote is taken.
                             Rule 5--Proxies
  Proxies must be in writing with the signature of the absent member. 
Subject to the requirements of Rule 4 for the physical presence of a 
quorum to report a matter, proxy voting shall be allowed on all measures 
and matters before the Committee. However, proxies shall not be voted on 
a measure or matter except when the absent member has been informed of 
the matter on which he is being recorded and has affirmatively requested 
that he or she be so recorded.Rule 6--Witnesses
  (a) General.--The Committee on Foreign Relations will consider 
requests to testify on any matter or measure pending before the 
Committee.
  (b) Presentation.--If the Chairman so determines, the oral 
presentation of witnesses shall be limited to 10 minutes. However, 
written statements of reasonable length may be submitted by witnesses 
and other interested persons who are unable to testify in person.
  (c) Filing of Statements.--A witness appearing before the Committee, 
or any subcommittee thereof, shall file a written statement of his 
proposed testimony at least 48 hours prior to his appearance, unless 
this requirement is waived by the Chairman and the Ranking Minority 
Member following their determination that there is good cause for 
failure to file such a statement.
  (d) Expenses.--Only the Chairman may authorize expenditures of funds 
for the expenses of witnesses appearing before the Committee or its 
subcommittees.
  (e) Requests.--Any witness called for a hearing may submit a written 
request to the Chairman no later than 24 hours in advance for his 
testimony to be in closed or open session, or for any other unusual 
procedure. The Chairman shall determine whether to grant any such 
request and shall notify the Committee members of the request and of his 
decision.
                            Rule 7--Subpoenas
  (a) Authorization.--The Chairman or any other member of the Committee, 
when authorized by a majority vote of the Committee at a meeting or by 
proxies, shall have authority to subpoena the attendance of witnesses or 
the production of memoranda, documents, records, or any other materials. 
When the Committee authorizes a subpoena, it may be issued upon the 
signature of the Chairman or any other member designated by the 
Committee.

  (b) Return.--A subpoena, or a request to an agency, for documents may 
be issued whose return shall occur at a time and place other than that 
of a scheduled Committee meeting. A return on such a subpoena or request 
which is incomplete or accompanied by an objection constitutes good 
cause for a hearing on shortened notice. Upon such a return, the 
Chairman or any other member designated by him may convene a hearing by 
giving 2 hours notice by telephone to all other members. One member 
shall constitute a quorum for such a hearing. The sole purpose of such a 
hearing shall be to elucidate further information about the return and 
to rule on the objection.
  (c) Depositions.--At the direction of the Committee, staff is 
authorized to take depositions from witnesses.
                             Rule 8--Reports
  (a) Filing.--When the Committee has ordered a measure or 
recommendation reported, the report thereon shall be filed in the Senate 
at the earliest practicable time.
  (b) Supplemental, Minority and Additional Views.--A member of the 
Committee who gives notice of his intentions to file supplemental, 
minority, or additional views at the time of final Committee approval of 
a measure or matter, shall be entitled to not less than 3 calendar days 
in which to file such views, in writing, with the Chief Clerk of the 
Committee, with the 3 days to begin at 11:00 p.m. on the same day that 
the Committee has ordered a measure or matter reported. Such views shall 
then be included in the Committee report and printed in the same volume, 
as a part thereof, and their inclusion shall be noted on the cover of 
the report. In the absence of timely notice, the Committee report may be 
filed and printed immediately without such views.
  (c) Rollcall Votes.--The results of all rollcall votes taken in any 
meeting of the Committee on any measure, or amendment thereto, shall be 
announced in the Committee report. The announcement shall include a 
tabulation of the votes cast in favor and votes cast in opposition to 
each such measure and amendment by each member of the Committee.
                            Rule 9--Treaties
  (a) The Committee is the only Committee of the Senate with 
jurisdiction to review and report to the Senate on treaties submitted by 
the President for Senate advice and consent. Because the House of 
Representatives has no role in the approval of treaties, the Committee 
is therefore the only congressional committee with responsibility for 
treaties.
  (b) Once submitted by the President for advice and consent, each 
treaty is referred to the Committee and remains on its calendar from 
Congress to Congress until the Committee takes action to report it to 
the Senate or recommend its return to the President, or until the 
Committee is discharged of the treaty by the Senate.
  (c) In accordance with Senate Rule XXX.2, treaties which have been 
reported to the Senate but not acted on before the end of a Congress 
``shall be resumed at the commencement of the next Congress as if no 
proceedings had previously been had thereon.''
  (d) Insofar as possible, the Committee should conduct a public hearing 
on each treaty as soon as possible after its submission by the 
President. Except in extraordinary circumstances, treaties reported to 
the Senate shall be accompanied by a written report.

                          Rule 10--Nominations
  (a) Waiting Requirement.--Unless otherwise directed by the Chairman 
and the Ranking Minority Member, the Committee on Foreign Relations 
shall not consider any nomination until 6 calendar days after it has 
been formally submitted to the Senate.
  (b) Public Consideration.--Nominees for any post who are invited to 
appear before the Committee shall be heard in public session, unless a 
majority of the Committee decrees otherwise.
  (c) Required Data.--No nomination shall be reported to the Senate 
unless (1) the nominee has been accorded a security clearance on the 
basis of a thorough investigation by executive branch agencies; (2) in 
appropriate cases, the nominee has filed a financial disclosure report 
and a confidential statement with the Committee; (3) the Committee has 
been assured that the nominee does not have any interests which could 
conflict with the interests of the government in the exercise of the 
nominee's proposed responsibilities; (4) for persons nominated to be 
chief of mission, ambassador-at-large, or minister, the Committee has 
received a complete list of any contributions made by the nominee or 
members of his immediate family to any Federal election campaign during 
the year of his or her nomination and for the 4 preceding years; and (5) 
for persons nominated to be chiefs of mission, a report on the 
demonstrated competence of that nominee to perform the duties of the 
position to which he or she has been nominated.
                             Rule 11--Travel
  (a) Foreign Travel.--No member of the Committee on Foreign Relations 
or its staff shall travel abroad on Committee business unless 
specifically authorized by the Chairman, who is required by law to 
approve vouchers and report expenditures of foreign currencies, and the 
Ranking Minority Member. Requests for authorization of such travel shall 
state the purpose and, when completed, a full substantive and financial 
report shall be filed with the Committee within 30 days. This report 
shall be furnished to all members of the Committee and shall not be 
otherwise disseminated without the express authorization of the 
Committee. Except in extraordinary circumstances, staff travel shall not 
be approved unless the reporting requirements have been fulfilled for 
all prior trips. Except for travel that is strictly personal, travel 
funded by non-U.S. Government sources is subject to the same approval 
and substantive reporting requirements as U.S. Government-funded travel. 
In addition, members and staff are reminded of Senate Rule XXXV.4 
requiring a determination by the Senate Ethics Committee in the case of 
foreign-sponsored travel.
  Any proposed travel by Committee staff for a subcommittee purpose must 
be approved by the subcommittee chairman and ranking minority member 
prior to submission of the request to the Chairman and Ranking Minority 
Member of the full Committee.
  When the Chairman and the Ranking Minority Member approve the foreign 
travel of a member of the staff of the committee not accompanying a 
member of the Committee, all members of the Committee shall be advised, 
prior to the commencement of such travel of its extent, nature, and 
purpose.
  (b) Domestic Travel.--All official travel in the United States by the 
Committee staff shall be approved in advance by the Staff Director, or 
in the case of minority staff, by the Minority Staff Director.

  (c) Personal Staff.--As a general rule, no more than one member of the 
personal staff of a member of the Committee may travel with that member 
with the approval of the Chairman and the Ranking Minority Member of the 
Committee. During such travel, the personal staff member shall be 
considered to be an employee of the Committee.
  (d) Personal Representatives of the Member (PRM).--For the purposes of 
Rule 11 as regards staff foreign travel, the officially-designated 
personal representative of the member (PRM) shall be deemed to have the 
same rights, duties, and responsibilities as members of the staff of the 
Committee on Foreign Relations. Furthermore, for the purposes of this 
section, each Member of the Committee may designate one personal staff 
member as the ``Personal Representative of the Member.''
                          Rule 12--Transcripts
  (a) General.--The Committee on Foreign Relations shall keep verbatim 
transcripts of all Committee and subcommittee meetings and such 
transcripts shall remain in the custody of the Committee, unless a 
majority of the Committee decides otherwise. Transcripts of public 
hearings by the Committee shall be published unless the Chairman, with 
the concurrence of the Ranking Minority Member, determines otherwise.
  (b) Classified or Restricted Transcripts.--
      (1) The Chief Clerk of the Committee shall have responsibility for 
    the maintenance and security of classified or restricted 
    transcripts.
      (2) A record shall be maintained of each use of classified or 
    restricted transcripts.
      (3) Classified or restricted transcripts shall be kept in locked 
    combination safes in the Committee offices except when in active use 
    by authorized persons for a period not to exceed 2 weeks. Extensions 
    of this period may be granted as necessary by the Chief Clerk. They 
    must never be left unattended and shall be returned to the Chief 
    Clerk promptly when no longer needed.
      (4) Except as provided in paragraph 7 below, transcripts 
    classified secret or higher may not leave the Committee offices 
    except for the purpose of declassification.
      (5) Classified transcripts other than those classified secret or 
    higher may leave the Committee offices in the possession of 
    authorized persons with the approval of the Chairman. Delivery and 
    return shall be made only by authorized persons. Such transcripts 
    may not leave Washington, DC, unless adequate assurances for their 
    security are made to the Chairman.
      (6) Extreme care shall be exercised to avoid taking notes or 
    quotes from classified transcripts. Their contents may not be 
    divulged to any unauthorized person.
      (7) Subject to any additional restrictions imposed by the Chairman 
    with the concurrence of the Ranking Minority Member, only the 
    following persons are authorized to have access to classified or 
    restricted transcripts.
      (i) Members and staff of the Committee in the Committee rooms;
      (ii) Designated personal representatives of members of the 
    Committee, and of the Majority and Minority Leaders, with 
    appropriate security clearances, in the Committee's Capitol office;
      (iii) Senators not members of the Committee, by permission of the 
    Chairman in the Committee rooms; and

      (iv) Members of the executive departments involved in the meeting, 
    in the Committee's Capitol office, or, with the permission of the 
    Chairman, in the offices of the officials who took part in the 
    meeting, but in either case, only for a specified and limited period 
    of time, and only after reliable assurances against further 
    reproduction or dissemination have been given.
      (8) Any restrictions imposed upon access to a meeting of the 
    Committee shall also apply to the transcript of such meeting, except 
    by special permission of the Chairman and notice to the other 
    members of the Committee. Each transcript of a closed session of the 
    Committee shall include on its cover a description of the 
    restrictions imposed upon access, as well as any applicable 
    restrictions upon photocopying, note-taking or other dissemination.
      (9) In addition to restrictions resulting from the inclusion of 
    any classified information in the transcript of a Committee meeting, 
    members and staff shall not discuss with anyone the proceedings of 
    the Committee in closed session or reveal information conveyed or 
    discussed in such a session unless that person would have been 
    permitted to attend the session itself, or unless such communication 
    is specifically authorized by the Chairman, the Ranking Minority 
    Member, or in the case of staff, by the Staff Director or Minority 
    Staff Director. A record shall be kept of all such authorizations.
  (c) Declassification.--
      (1) All restricted transcripts and classified Committee reports 
    shall be declassified on a date twelve years after their origination 
    unless the Committee by majority vote decides against such 
    declassification, and provided that the executive departments 
    involved and all former Committee members who participated directly 
    in the sessions or reports concerned have been consulted in advance 
    and given a reasonable opportunity to raise objections to such 
    declassification.
      (2) Any transcript or classified Committee report, or any portion 
    thereof, may be declassified fewer than twelve years after their 
    origination if:
      (i) the Chairman originates such action or receives a written 
    request for such action, and notifies the other members of the 
    Committee;
      (ii) the Chairman, Ranking Minority Member, and each member or 
    former member who participated directly in such meeting or report 
    give their approval, except that the Committee by majority vote may 
    overrule any objections thereby raised to early declassification; 
    and
      (iii) the executive departments and all former Committee members 
    are consulted in advance and have a reasonable opportunity to object 
    to early declassification.
                      Rule 13--Classified Material
  (a) All classified material received or originated by the Committee 
shall be logged in at the Committee's offices in the Dirksen Senate 
Office Building, and except for material classified as ``Top Secret'' 
shall be filed in the Dirksen Senate Building offices for Committee use 
and safekeeping.
  (b) Each such piece of classified material received or originated 
shall be card indexed and serially numbered, and where requiring onward 
distribution shall be distributed by means of an attached indexed form 
approved by the Chairman. If such material is to be distributed outside 
the Committee offices, it shall, in addition to the attached form, be 
accompanied also by an approved signature sheet to show onward receipt.

  (c) Distribution of classified material among offices shall be by 
Committee members or authorized staff only. All classified material sent 
to members' offices, and that distributed within the working offices of 
the Committee, shall be returned to the offices designated by the Chief 
Clerk. No classified material is to be removed from the offices of the 
members or of the Committee without permission of the Chairman. Such 
classified material will be afforded safe handling and safe storage at 
all times.
  (d) Material classified ``Top Secret,'' after being indexed and 
numbered shall be sent to the Committee's Capitol office for use by the 
members and authorized staff in that office only or in such other secure 
Committee offices as may be authorized by the Chairman or Staff 
Director.
  (e) In general, members and staff undertake to confine their access to 
classified information on the basis of a ``need to know'' such 
information related to their Committee responsibilities.
  (f) The Staff Director is authorized to make such administrative 
regulations as may be necessary to carry out the provisions of these 
regulations.
                             Rule 14--Staff
  (a) Responsibilities.--
      (1) The staff works for the Committee as a whole, under the 
    general supervision of the Chairman of the Committee, and the 
    immediate direction of the Staff Director; provided, however, that 
    such part of the staff as is designated Minority Staff, shall be 
    under the general supervision of the Ranking Minority Member and 
    under the immediate direction of the Minority Staff Director.
      (2) Any member of the Committee should feel free to call upon the 
    staff at any time for assistance in connection with Committee 
    business. Members of the Senate not members of the Committee who 
    call upon the staff for assistance from time to time should be given 
    assistance subject to the overriding responsibility of the staff to 
    the Committee.
      (3) The staff's primary responsibility is with respect to bills, 
    resolutions, treaties, and nominations.
      In addition to carrying out assignments from the Committee and its 
    individual members, the staff has a responsibility to originate 
    suggestions for Committee or subcommittee consideration. The staff 
    also has a responsibility to make suggestions to individual members 
    regarding matters of special interest to such members.
      (4) It is part of the staff's duty to keep itself as well informed 
    as possible in regard to developments affecting foreign relations 
    and in regard to the administration of foreign programs of the 
    United States. Significant trends or developments which might 
    otherwise escape notice should be called to the attention of the 
    Committee, or of individual Senators with particular interests.
      (5) The staff shall pay due regard to the constitutional 
    separation of powers between the Senate and the executive branch. It 
    therefore has a responsibility to help the Committee bring to bear 
    an independent, objective judgment of proposals by the executive 
    branch and when appropriate to originate sound proposals of its own. 
    At the same time, the staff shall avoid impinging upon the day-to-
    day conduct of foreign affairs.

      (6) In those instances when Committee action requires the 
    expression of minority views, the staff shall assist the minority as 
    fully as the majority to the end that all points of view may be 
    fully considered by members of the Committee and of the Senate. The 
    staff shall bear in mind that under our constitutional system it is 
    the responsibility of the elected Members of the Senate to determine 
    legislative issues in the light of as full and fair a presentation 
    of the facts as the staff may be able to obtain.
  (b) Restrictions.--
      (1) The staff shall regard its relationship to the Committee as a 
    privileged one, in the nature of the relationship of a lawyer to a 
    client. In order to protect this relationship and the mutual 
    confidence which must prevail if the Committee-staff relationship is 
    to be a satisfactory and fruitful one, the following criteria shall 
    apply:
      (i) members of the staff shall not be identified with any special 
    interest group in the field of foreign relations or allow their 
    names to be used by any such group;
      (ii) members of the staff shall not accept public speaking 
    engagements or write for publication in the field of foreign 
    relations without specific advance permission from the Staff 
    Director, or, in the case of minority staff, from the Minority Staff 
    Director. In the case of the Staff Director and the Minority Staff 
    Director, such advance permission shall be obtained from the 
    Chairman or the Ranking Minority Member, as appropriate. In any 
    event, such public statements should avoid the expression of 
    personal views and should not contain predictions of future, or 
    interpretations of past, Committee action; and
      (iii) staff shall not discuss their private conversations with 
    members of the Committee without specific advance permission from 
    the Senator or Senators concerned.
      (2) The staff shall not discuss with anyone the proceedings of the 
    Committee in closed session or reveal information conveyed or 
    discussed in such a session unless that person would have been 
    permitted to attend the session itself, or unless such communication 
    is specifically authorized by the Staff Director or Minority Staff 
    Director. Unauthorized disclosure of information from a closed 
    session or of classified information shall be cause for immediate 
    dismissal and may, in the case of some kinds of information, be 
    grounds for criminal prosecution.
                 Rule 15--Status and Amendment of Rules
  (a) Status.--In addition to the foregoing, the Committee on Foreign 
Relations is governed by the Standing Rules of the Senate which shall 
take precedence in the event of a clear inconsistency. In addition, the 
jurisdiction and responsibilities of the Committee with respect to 
certain matters, as well as the timing and procedure for their 
consideration in Committee, may be governed by statute.
  (b) Amendment.--These Rules may be modified, amended, or repealed by a 
majority of the Committee, provided that a notice in writing of the 
proposed change has been given to each member at least 48 hours prior to 
the meeting at which action thereon is to be taken. However, Rules of 
the Committee which are based upon Senate Rules may not be superseded by 
Committee vote alone.
