Dear Mr. Trandahl: I enclose herewith a report for the
105th Congress of the Legislative Review Activities of the
Committee on International Relations in accordance with section
136 of the Legislative Reorganization Act of 1946, as amended

FOREWORD
------
House of Representatives,
Committee on International Relations,
Washington, DC, January 2, 1999.
Under rule X of the Rules of the House of Representatives
and section 136 of the Legislative Reorganization Act of 1946,
the Committee on International Relations is authorized to
exercise continuous surveillance of the execution by the
executive branch of laws within the committee's jurisdiction.
The review of ``oversight'' activities of the Committee on
International Relations was augmented by the adoption of
section 118 of the Legislative Reorganization Act of 1970
(Public Law 91-150), as amended by Public Law 92-136. This
provision requires standing committees of the House and the
Senate after January 1, 1973, to make reports to their
respective Houses on their activities in reviewing and studying
the ``application, administration, and execution of those laws
or parts of laws, the subject of which is within the
jurisdiction of that committee.''
House committees are required to file such reports ``not
later than January 2 of each odd-numbered year.'' It is in
fulfillment of the obligation of the Committee on International
Relations to account to the House for its legislative review
activities during the 105th Congress that this report has been
prepared and submitted.
The report was prepared by Laura L. Rush, Professional
Staff Member.

LEGISLATIVE REVIEW ACTIVITIES
_______
January 2, 1999.--Committed to the Committee of the Whole House on the
State of the Union and ordered to be printed
_______
Mr. Gilman, from the Committee on International Relations, submitted
the following
R E P O R T
I. INTRODUCTION: OVERSIGHT IN THE FOREIGN AFFAIRS FIELD
A. Authorities for Legislative Review
The responsibilities and potentialities of legislative
review are reflected in the multiple authorities which are
available to the Committee on International Relations. 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 International Relations currently
has special oversight jurisdiction in four areas under clause
3(d) of House Rule X.
3. (d) The Committee on International Relations shall
have the function of reviewing and studying, on a
continuing basis, all laws, programs, and Government
activities dealing with or involving customs
administration, intelligence activities relating to
foreign policy, international financial and monetary
organizations, and international fishing agreements.
Frequently reporting requirements in legislation obligate
various agencies, directly or through the President, to submit
reports of certain activities to the Committee on International
Relations 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.
A final authority which can have an impressive oversight
impact is implicit in the authorization process. Regular and
frequent reauthorization of programs or agency operations by
committees presents the opportunity to investigate
administrative 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.
The authorization process also permits program evaluation, an
important oversight technique.
The legislative review activities of the Committee on
International Relations are sanctioned by various and extensive
authorities--the basic mandate of the 1970 Legislative
Reorganization Act, the broadened jurisdiction and special
oversight provided by the House Committee Reform Amendments of
1974, statutory reporting requirements, and the authorization
process.
B. Oversight Developments in the Committee on International Relations
During the 95th Congress, the committee received
jurisdictional authority over export controls involving
nonproliferation of nuclear technology and nuclear hardware,
and international commodity agreements involving cooperation in
the export of nuclear technology and nuclear hardware. This new
jurisdictional authority was provided for by House Resolution
5, which passed the House on January 4, 1977.
In the 96th Congress, the committee's jurisdiction was not
enlarged. However, the committee in its organization for the
96th Congress reduced the number of subcommittees from nine to
eight. Deleted was the Subcommittee on International
Development whose jurisdiction included: (1) dealing with the
Agency for International Development and other U.S. agencies'
operations affecting development; (2) administration of foreign
assistance; (3) oversight of multilateral assistance programs;
(4) population and food programs; and (5) legislation and
oversight with respect to thePeace Corps, which was subsumed by
the full committee. The subcommittees for the 96th Congress,
representing a mix of geographical and functional responsibilities,
were as follows:
Subcommittee on International Security and Scientific
Affairs;
Subcommittee on International Operations;
Subcommittee on Europe and the Middle East;
Subcommittee on International Economic Policy and
Trade;
Subcommittee on Asian and Pacific Affairs;
Subcommittee on Inter-American Affairs;
Subcommittee on Africa; and
Subcommittee on International Organizations.
In the 97th Congress, the subcommittees remained the same
with the exception of the Subcommittee on International
Organizations, whose name was changed to the Subcommittee on
Human Rights and International Organizations, in order to
delineate clearly its jurisdiction over the subject of human
rights.
In the 98th Congress, the subcommittees remained the same,
however, the name of the Subcommittee on Inter-American Affairs
was changed to the Subcommittee on Western Hemisphere Affairs.
In addition, a special task force was created under the aegis
of the full committee, the Task Force on International
Narcotics Control. The purpose of this task force was to
provide oversight of narcotics-related developments and
programs over which the committee has jurisdiction pursuant to
rule X of the Rules of the House, which included the following:
Narcotics control programs conducted by the Department of
State; Narcotics-related projects carried out by the Agency for
International Development (AID); Overseas activities of the
Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA), the Department of Defense; and
the U.S. Customs Service; Narcotics control programs carried
out by international organizations; Intelligence issues related
to narcotics trafficking and control; Prisoner exchange
programs and their impact on U.S. narcotics control efforts;
Narcotics interdiction programs and agreement; Narcotics-
related efforts by the U.S. Information Agency; and
Relationship between international banking/financial
transactions and narcotics trafficking.
Because of the importance of narcotics control issues, the
Task Force was reconstituted every six months through the 102nd
Congress.
Subcommittee structure remained the same for the 99th
Congress; however, the name of the Subcommittee on
International Security and Scientific Affairs was changed to
the Subcommittee on Arms Control, International Security and
Science. This change was made to reflect the committee's and
subcommittee's concern over the important issues of arms
control. The jurisdiction of the subcommittee was redefined in
the rules of the Committee on Foreign Affairs to read, ``To
deal with * * * all aspects of arms control and disarmament
with particular emphasis on the investigation and evaluation of
arms control and disarmament proposals and concepts; * * *''.
Under the Rules of the House, the Committee on
International Relations has jurisdiction over issues involving
international terrorism pursuant to rule X of the Rules of the
House, paragraphs (I)(1), (I)(4-10), and (I)(12-16). For the
99th Congress, two subcommittee jurisdictional changes were
made to reflect the committee's concern with international
terrorism. The Subcommittee on Arms Control, International
Security and Science was given jurisdiction over ``* * *
international terrorism with special focus on the U.S.
Government's policies and programs for combating international
terrorist movements and actions; * * *''. The Subcommittee on
International Operations jurisdictional responsibility was
redefined to include ``* * * international terrorism with
special emphasis on policies and programs relating to the
enhancement for embassy security and the protection of U.S.
personnel and institutions abroad; * * *''.
In addition, two subcommittees had language added to their
respective definitions providing responsibility for oversight
of international communication and information policy. Lastly,
the Subcommittee on Human Rights and International
Organizations was given the responsibility for international
law.
No changes were made in subcommittee structure or
jurisdiction for the 100th, 101st, or 102nd Congresses.
In the 103rd Congress, the Committee was required by the
Rules of the Democratic Caucus to reduce the number of
subcommittees from eight to six. However, due to concern about
retaining a subcommittee with exclusive focus on Africa, the
Committee received a waiver of Rule 35(B) of the Democratic
Caucus and retained seven subcommittees. The Subcommittee on
Arms Control, International Security, and Science, and the
Subcommittee on Human Rights and International Organizations
were merged to create the Subcommittee on International
Security, International Organizations, and Human Rights. The
jurisdiction of that subcommittee was essentially a merger of
the jurisdictions of the two subcommittees. However, specific
reference to ``* * * law enforcement issues to include
terrorism and narcotics control programs and activities * * *''
was added to the jurisdiction of the subcommittee, thereby
consolidating all jurisdiction over narcotics and terrorism in
one subcommittee. The Committee also added specific reference
to environmental issues to the jurisdiction of the Subcommittee
on International Economic Policy and Trade and changed the name
of the subcommittee to the Subcommittee on Economic Policy,
Trade, and Environment to reflect that addition. In addition,
jurisdiction over the operating expenses of the Agency for
International Development and the Arms Control and Disarmament
Agency was added to the Subcommittee on International
Operations. Finally, the Committee made minor conforming
changes to the names of two of its regional subcommittees.
In the 104th Congress, pursuant to H. Res. 6, passed
January 4, 1995, the name of the Committee was changed from
``Foreign Affairs'' to ``International Relations''. In
addition, the number of subcommittees was decreased from seven
to five. The Subcommittee on International Security,
International Organizations, and Human Rights, and the
Subcommittee on Europe and the Middle East were dissolved. The
Europe and Middle East Subcommittee jurisdiction was reabsorbed
by the full Committee. The Subcommittee on Economic Policy,
Trade, and Environment dropped ``environment'' from its title,
returning its name to the ``Subcommittee on International
Economic Policy and Trade.'' The Subcommittee on International
Security, International Organizations, and Human Rights and the
Subcommittee on International Operations were combined, with a
name change to ``Subcommittee on International Operations and
Human Rights''.
No changes were made in subcommittee structure or
jurisdiction for the 105th Congress.
C. Oversight Activities and Criteria
The oversight activities of the Committee on International
Relations include a variety of instruments and mechanisms--full
committee and subcommittee hearings, members' 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 SelectCommittee 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 may occur 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 International Relations for the 104th 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 Activities of the Committee on International Relations--
105th Congress
The following section is set out in compliance with Clause
(1)(d)(3) of Rule X.
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.
The Committee's Oversight Plan is set out below in full.
Although the Committee did not accomplish each and every
planned oversight item, most of them were accomplished to some
degree, some with hearings, others by way of staff work.
(Adopted by the Committee, February 11, 1997).
Committee on International Relations Oversight Plan
Rule X, clause 2(d) of the Rules of the House of
Representatives requires that each standing Committee adopt an
oversight plan for the two-year period of the Congress and to
submit the plan to the Committees on Government Reform and
Oversight and House Oversight not later than February 15 of the
first session of the Congress. Rule XI, clause 1(d) requires
that the Committee report, at the end of each Congress, on the
recommendations made with respect to its oversight plan and any
recommendations made or actions taken thereon. This is the
oversight plan of the Committee on International Relations for
the 105th Congress.

II. GENERAL REVIEW ACTIVITIES OF THE COMMITTEE
A. Executive Branch Reports
Reporting requirements in legislation and the reports
submitted in response to them constitute one of the oldest
information systems used by Congress. On every subject with
which Congress deals, 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 International Relations, 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.
B. Reference Documents
Periodically the Committee on International Relations
compiles, prints, and distributes official documents which are
useful to the membership in exercising the oversight function
as well as other responsibilities. The following is a listing
of those compilations for the 105th Congress:
1. Legislation on Foreign Relations.--This 5 volume set was
prepared under the direction of the staff of the House
Committee on International Relations 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 by the Committee on
International Relations, and the Foreign Relations Committee,
amended to date, and annotated to show pertinent history or
cross references. The collection of over 7,600 pages 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 as of December 31, 1997.
2. Legislative Calendar.--This compendium of committee
legislative information is published annually. Each volume
includes a current listing and status of all committee
legislation; committee publications and reports; executive
communications and messages from the President referred to the
committee; House floor amendments in committee legislation; and
a legislative progress chart.
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 high 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 ORIGINS AND HISTORY
The Committee on Foreign Affairs/International Relations
traces its origins to November 29, 1775. It was on that date
that the Continental Congress by resolution created a committee
``for the sole purposes of corresponding with our friends in
Great Britain, Ireland, and other parts of the world.'' The
members chosen for this committee were Benjamin Franklin--who
served as chairman and guiding spirit--Benjamin Harrison,
Thomas Johnson, Jr., John Dickinson, and John Jay. Known at
first as the Committee of Correspondence, the committee itself
soon changed its name to the Committee of Secret
Correspondence.
That committee was the first institution created to
represent the United States in the foreign affairs field. The
Committee on Foreign Affairs (as well as the Senate Foreign
Relations Committee) is a lineal descendant of the Committee of
Correspondence.
Franklin's committee quickly entered into communication
with various persons in Europe for the purpose of ascertaining
sentiment there toward the Colonies and obtaining any other
information which might be useful in the struggle with England.
It even designated its own secret agents abroad.
By the spring of 1777, the specialized nature of the
committee's work had been recognized and its title changed to
``Committee for Foreign Affairs.'' Special problems in foreign
relations, however, were sometimes dealt with by select or
temporary committees appointed for the purpose.
After the Congress of the United States was organized under
the Constitution, select committees to deal with foreign
affairs were appointed. In 1807, during the Jefferson
Presidency, a House committee was established in response to
predatory actions by both the French and British against
American commercial shipping. Following the seizure and search
of the U.S. frigate Chesapeake 10 miles off the Virginia coast
by a British ship, the House appointed a special Foreign
Relations Committee which was also known as the Aggression
Committee. That committee had an active role in foreign policy
considerations through the War of 1812 and in 1822, renamed the
Committee on Foreign Affairs, was designated a standing
committee of the House with a membership of seven. The 150th
anniversary of that event was celebrated by the committee in
1972.
Because the House is the organ of National Government
closest to the citizenry, the Committee on Foreign Affairs may
truly be said to have been the voice of the American people on
issues of international significance for more than a century
and a half. Although this important role has remained the same,
the name of the committee was changed on March 19, 1975, by a
resolution (House Resolution 163) sponsored by 22 members of
the committee to the Committee on International Relations. The
change resulted from the extensive discussions by the members
that were undertaken in relation to the reorganization of the
subcommittee structure of the committee. It was the consensus
that the change in the name of the full committee would more
accurately reflect the organization of the committee as it had
been agreed upon by its own members at that time. Subsequently,
at the beginning of the 96th Congress, the committee again
reorganized its subcommittee structure and agreed to the
introduction of House Resolution 89, sponsored by 30 Members,
to return to the committee's original name ``The Committee on
Foreign Affairs.'' The resolution was agreed to on February 5,
1979.
Throughout its history, the committee has been composed of
some of America's most able legislators and statesmen. Two
American Presidents have served on it: James K. Polk, from 1827
to 1831, and John Quincy Adams, who became chairman in 1842
after he returned to the House following his term as the Chief
Executive.
Many former chairmen of the committee have written their
names into the history books. Among them was Edward Everett of
Massachusetts, chairman in the 20th Congress, who also served
as Secretary of State, was a Whig Vice Presidential candidate
in 1860, and is remembered as one of America's greatest
orators. Francis W. Pickens, who chaired the committee from
1839 to 1841, later became Governor of South Carolina and
authorized the firing on Fort Sumter which precipitated the
Civil War.
Serving as chairman in the aftermath of World War I,
Stephen G. Porter of Pennsylvania came to be one of the most
influential figures in the determination of American foreign
policy in the early 1920's. In more recent times, Chairman Sol
Bloom of New York and James P. Richards of South Carolina have
been recognized for their contributions to America's leadership
in the immediate post-World War II period. The longest tenure
as chairman in the history of the committee was that of Hon.
Thomas E. Morgan of Pennsylvania who served in that position
from 1959 until the end of the 94th Congress.
Other former members of the Committee on Foreign Affairs--
men like Tom Connally of Texas, Champ Clark of Iowa, and J.
William Fulbright of Arkansas, Mike Mansfield of Montana, and
Jacob Javits of New York, Robert C. Byrd of West Virginia, and
Abraham Ribicoff of Connecticut--went to the U.S. Senate where
they established reputations for their work on international
affairs legislation.
Moreover, committee experience has provided a beginning for
numerous men who have gone on to distinguish themselves in the
diplomatic service of the country. Among them was Perry
Belmont, chairman in the 49th and 50th Congresses, who was U.S.
Minister of Spain in 1888-89 and a noted author of work on
international policies. His successor as chairman in the 51st
Congress was Robert R. Hitt of Ohio who was chief of the U.S.
Delegation in Paris from 1874 to 1881 and subsequently was
appointed Assistant Secretary of State. Christian A. Herter,
who served as Secretary of State during the Eisenhower
administration, was a committee member in the 82d Congress.
More recent examples are: Chester Bowles, former Under
Secretary of State; James W. Wadsworth, former U.S.
Representative of the United Nations; F. Bradford Morse, United
Nations Development Programs; E. Ross Adair, former Ambassador
to Ethiopia; William S. Mailliard, former Ambassador to the
Organization of American States; and J. Danforth Quayle, former
Vice President of the United States.

\3\ Hon. John Kee died on May 8, 1951. Hon. James P. Richards became chairman for remainder of 82nd Congress.
Note--The data is taken from collections of congressional directories in the Library of Congress, Department of
State, Supreme Court and the National Archives. The following volumes are missing from all collections: 34th
Congress 3d session, 37th Congress 1st and 3rd session, 40th Congress 1st session, 55th Congress 1st session,
58th Congress 1st session, 75th Congress 2nd session, and 76th Congress 2nd session.
Party designations are taken from biographical dictionary of the American Congress, and are unavoidably subject
to error in the early period, due to the vagueness of party lines and frequent shifting of men from one party
to another on critical issues. In instances where the Biographical Directory incorrectly refers to Democratic
Republicans as Democrats the designation have been changed.
The above figures include the combined number of hearings, briefings, and include meetings with distinguished
visitors and delegations.
