           V. COMMITTEE OVERSIGHT PLAN FOR THE 117TH CONGRESS


                            1. Introduction

    Pursuant to the requirements of clause 2(d) of House Rule 
X, the Chairman of the Committee on Foreign Affairs (``the 
Committee'') has prepared this oversight plan for the 117th 
Congress, which will be submitted to the Committee on Oversight 
and Reform and the Committee on House Administration. This plan 
summarizes the Committee's oversight priorities for the next 
two years, subject to the understanding that new developments 
will undoubtedly affect priorities and work assignments in the 
months ahead.
    Agency and program oversight are key responsibilities of 
the legislative branch. Committee Rule 15 requires each 
Subcommittee to hold regular oversight hearings that, according 
to usual practice, include an annual hearing on the portions of 
the Administration's budget request within that Subcommittee's 
jurisdiction. Oversight activities will be coordinated between 
the Committee and the Subcommittees in order to facilitate 
comprehensive and strategic review of the programs and agencies 
within the Committee's jurisdiction.
    These Committee activities may include hearings, briefings, 
reports, and investigations, Member or staff-level meetings, 
correspondence, fact-finding and oversight travel, reports, and 
public statements. They may also include effective use and 
review of reports by the Government Accountability Office and 
by statutory Inspectors General, as well as Congressional 
Notifications submitted by executive branch agencies. The 
Committee will consult, as appropriate, with other committees 
of the House that may share jurisdiction over relevant issues 
and activities. The Committee's authorization and oversight 
activities will emphasize:
           effectiveness of U.S. foreign policy;
           effective implementation of U.S. law;
           the review of agencies and programs in the 
        Committee's jurisdiction;
           effective management and administration, and 
        institutional modernization;
           appropriate resourcing of U.S. foreign 
        policy and programs.
           How the Committee's work will address issues 
        of inequities on the basis of race, color, ethnicity, 
        religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, 
        disability, age, or national origin.

                     2. Priority Oversight Matters

    a. Russia: The Committee will address the impact of 
Russia's foreign and domestic policy on U.S. security, 
political, and economic interests, as a result of its continued 
aggression and related hostile actions regarding NATO, the EU, 
Ukraine, Georgia, Belarus, the United States, and other 
countries. It will also examine Kremlin-driven efforts to 
undermine western democratic governments and institutions 
through cyber intrusions and attacks, disinformation campaigns, 
malign influence activities, propaganda, and other hybrid 
warfare tools. The Committee will examine the range of options 
available to the United States. to respond to these actions. 
The Committee will also review the deteriorating domestic 
situation in Russia regarding democracy, civil society, the 
rule of law, the free exercise of fundamental freedoms, and 
human rights, including its attacks on opposition leader Alexei 
Navalny and other prominent critics of President Putin and the 
Kremlin. In addition, the Committee will closely assess 
strategic stability and related arms control agreements with 
Russia to reduce the risk of nuclear conflict. The Committee 
will consult widely with experts and allies to inform the 
measures the U.S. Government should pursue on these matters.
    b. Ukraine/Georgia: The Committee will closely monitor 
Russian-supported separatist activity and other aggressive 
actions aimed at undermining Ukraine's sovereignty, including 
the forcible and attempted annexation of Crimea. The Committee 
will continue to examine the U.S. response to this aggression 
in light of the long-standing U.S. foreign policy doctrine of 
non-recognition of territorial changes effected by force alone. 
The Committee will assess Russia's ongoing aggression in 
Georgia and consider measures the U.S. Government can take to 
continue to promote effective, democratic governance in these 
while turning back Russian intrusion. In addition, the 
Committee will actively oversee efforts of the U.S. Government, 
working alongside allies and partners, to assist these 
countries in strengthening their defense capabilities, 
promoting economic growth, combating corruption, and promoting 
an effective and democratic government.
    c. Europe/Eurasia: The Committee will review U.S. relations 
with the European Union, individual European countries and 
relevant regional groupings and multilateral bodies such as the 
OSCE, and NATO. Key issues include continued reassurance and 
support the security of our NATO allies, particularly in 
Central and Eastern Europe; rule of law and border security; 
U.S.-European cooperative efforts to combat terrorism, white 
nationalism, anti-Semitism, and other forms of extremism; and 
diversification of energy sources to reduce reliance on Russian 
energy. The Committee will focus on strengthening our important 
strategic and economic relationships with allies and partners 
in order to bolster American security and promote greater 
economic growth across the transatlantic community. The 
Committee will also scrutinize the nexus of populism, alignment 
of far left and far right political forces and increasingly 
autocratic governments. Similarly, the Committee will continue 
to work with the European Union, the United Kingdom, Canada, 
and other allies and partners to hold the illegitimate 
Lukashenko regime accountable for its theft of the August 2020 
presidential election in Belarus and its continued crackdown on 
peaceful protestors. The Committee will also continue oversight 
of U.S. political, security and economic policy in Central Asia 
and Western Balkans, with a particular focus on strengthening 
partnerships to advance mutual security interests and European 
integration where appropriate, including countering violent 
extremism, as well as efforts to promote economic development 
with the DFC, human rights, and good governance.
    d. Turkey: The Committee will examine Turkey's evolving 
foreign policy orientation and its domestic political trends--
including but not limited to its crackdown on domestic freedoms 
and the rights of minorities, the LGBTQ community, and others; 
its persecution of U.S. Embassy and Consulate staff in Turkey; 
its efforts to combat ISIS and the spread of extremism; its 
role as it pertains to conflict and refugees in Syria; its 
aggression against the Kurds and in Nagorno-Karabakh; its 
purchase of the Russian S-400 air defense system; its 
relationship with the European Union; its continued occupation 
of the Republic of Cyprus and aggressive actions in the Eastern 
Mediterranean; and the health of the long term U.S.-Turkey 
strategic relationship.
    e. Afghanistan: The Committee will comprehensively review 
U.S. policy toward Afghanistan. Particular focus will be paid 
to the Administration's efforts to bring the war in Afghanistan 
to an end through an intra-Afghan dialogue. The Committee will 
also pay close attention to the Afghan government's various 
reform efforts related to addressing corruption, improving 
governance, electoral reforms, and strengthening security. This 
review will assess the effectiveness of international aid and 
U.S. assistance programs, the broader political-military and 
associated counterterrorism strategies, and the full range of 
policies related to the post-2020 U.S.-Taliban peace framework 
agreement.
    f. Pakistan: The Committee will review all elements of U.S. 
policy toward Pakistan, including efforts to eliminate safe 
havens for violent extremists and establish a stable, 
democratic country. This review will encompass both U.S. 
civilian and security assistance to Pakistan, in order to 
assess the extent to which such programs effectively advance 
U.S. national interests. The Committee will also conduct 
ongoing oversight of matters relating to Pakistan's nuclear 
program, including issues relating to nonproliferation, such as 
the legacy of the A.Q. Khan network and Pakistan's advancing of 
tactical nuclear weapons.
    g. North Korea: The Committee will review and work to 
address the threat posed by North Korea. Particular focus will 
be paid to North Korea's nuclear, chemical and biological 
weapons programs, its ballistic missile program, and the 
possible proliferation of these weapons and delivery systems.

weapon sales, other illicit activities, cyber-attacks, human 
rights violations, as well as U.S. efforts to assist North 
Korean refugees. The Committee will review U.S. diplomatic 
efforts, U.S. information dissemination efforts, the 
implementation of U.S. and international sanctions, the impact 
of current negotiations on U.S. alliances in Asia, whether the 
executive branch is keeping the legislative branch fully 
informed of regional developments and U.S. policy toward North 
Korea, and consider next steps in U.S. policy to address the 
North Korean threat.
    h. Indo-Pacific: The Committee will review the U.S.'s 
significant political, economic, and security interests in the 
Indo-Pacific, including East and Southeast Asia, South Asia, 
and the Pacific Islands. The Committee will conduct oversight 
of U.S. relations with countries in the Indo-Pacific, including 
foreign policy, foreign assistance, human rights and democracy, 
the strength of U.S. relationships with and among alliances and 
partners, security cooperation, territorial disputes, influence 
operations and trade. The Committee will evaluate the State 
Department's participation in multilateral organizations such 
as the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) forum, the 
Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) and the East 
Asia Summit, and closely monitor any discussion of future trade 
agreements in Asia. The Committee will monitor the totality of 
the U.S. relationship with Taiwan as provided for in the Taiwan 
Relations Act.
    i. India: The Committee will review U.S. policy towards 
India and the continued expansion of bilateral cooperation. 
Particular attention will be paid to the U.S.-India security 
relationship, including cooperation on counterterrorism efforts 
and developments since the 2015 defense framework agreement and 
India's designation as a ``Major Defense Partner.'' The 
Committee will also focus on efforts to enhance U.S.-India 
economic and trade relations, and collaboration on efforts to 
address global climate change and support for human rights and 
the international rules-based order, stalled efforts to 
initiate civil nuclear cooperation and the implications of 
India's rapidly growing energy demands will also be reviewed.
    j. China: The Committee will examine China's role in the 
Asia-Pacific region and beyond. Particular focus will be placed 
on China's influence operations globally, its assertiveness in 
territorial disputes, military modernization, and human rights 
abuses, including treatment of Tibetans, Uyghurs and other 
religious and ethnic minorities. The Committee will review U.S. 
export controls related to China. The Committee will also 
continue to examine policy options with respect to Hong Kong 
given China's violation of its international obligations under 
the Sino-British Joint Declaration and commitments enshrined in 
the Basic Law. In addition, the Committee will examine China's 
use of economic coercion and role in the global economy, 
including trade, technology, energy, infrastructure, and its 
approach to development and foreign assistance, including 
through China's Belt and Road Initiative. The Committee will 
review China's cooperation on international nonproliferation 
efforts against North Korea. The Committee will investigate 
China's increasing use of cyber and economic espionage to 
affect foreign trade, and other policy outcomes.
    k. Sub-Saharan Africa: The Committee will review political, 
economic and security developments on the African continent, 
including the rise of geopolitical competition with Russia, 
China, and among the Gulf Arab States on the continent, and 
risk of democratic backsliding. Key issues will include efforts 
to strengthen democratic institutions, advance human rights, 
promote peace and security, and stimulate investment and 
equitable economic growth--including through the implementation 
of the African Growth and Opportunity Act and the Electrify 
Africa Act. The Committee will also focus on strengthening ties 
to the African Union and its regional economic communities, 
which are key partners in facilitating regional economic 
integration, protecting human rights, and advancing peace and 
security on the continent. Particular attention is to be paid 
to developments in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, 
Nigeria, Sudan, Zimbabwe, South Sudan, Somalia, Ethiopia, South 
Africa, Kenya, Uganda, Cameroon, Mali, and Niger.
    l. Western Hemisphere: The Committee will assess the 
effectiveness of U.S. policy towards the countries of the 
Western Hemisphere and the strategic importance of a positive 
U.S. agenda in the Americas, including for those who have been 
typically excluded including Afro-descendant and indigenous 
populations. Special emphasis will be placed on developments in 
political, security and economic cooperation with our partners 
in Canada and Mexico. Efforts for further collaboration with 
Argentina and Brazil will also be explored. The Committee will 
address the security challenges posed by transnational criminal 
organizations and other illegal armed actors. Challenges to 
democracy, human rights, the rule of law, anti-corruption 
efforts and press freedom in the Americas also will be 
examined. The Committee will closely monitor the humanitarian 
crisis in Venezuela and its impact on the Venezuelan people and 
countries throughout the region, as well as U.S. efforts to 
hold government actors in the country accountable. In the 
Northern Triangle countries of Central America, the Committee 
will assess the conditions that drive child and family 
migration and the appropriate response from the State 
Department, USAID and other international affairs agencies. In 
Nicaragua, the Committee will assess appropriate actions to 
continue to hold the country's government and security forces 
accountable for human rights abuses. In Colombia, the Committee 
will evaluate the implementation of the country's peace accords 
and ongoing counternarcotics efforts. The Committee will

U.S. energy, security and diplomatic cooperation with the 
countries of the region.
    m. Syria: The Committee will scrutinize U.S. efforts to 
address Syria's ongoing civil war, the war crimes committed by 
the Assad regime and other parties, and the role of Iran, 
Russia, Turkey and our Kurdish partners in the conflict. 
Particular attention will be paid to the Administration's new 
strategy for Syria including regional diplomacy, security 
coordination, and humanitarian assistance. The Committee will 
also examine the lasting consequences of the Trump 
Administration's decision to suspend stabilization assistance 
in Syria and evaluate U.S. efforts to prevent international 
reconstruction funds from assisting the Assad regime until a 
sustainable political solution is achieved and the regime 
allows for the safe, dignified and voluntary return of the 
outstanding six million displaced Syrians. The Committee will 
examine the impact of Syria's refugee crisis on regional states 
including Turkey, Jordan and Lebanon and the continued pattern 
of human rights violations by the Assad regime, ISIS and its 
affiliates, and Turkish-supported militias.
    n. Countering Violent Extremism: The Committee will examine 
the current status of al-Qaeda and its affiliates, with a 
specific focus on recruitment efforts, evolving save havens, 
and efforts to obtain WMDs. The Committee will also scrutinize 
the Administration's efforts to defeat ISIS in the Middle East 
and around the world, including authorizations for such 
efforts, leveraging other countries' commitments, evaluating 
U.S. leadership in the Coalition to Defeat ISIS, and 
determining the success of U.S. policies that seek to address 
the socio-economic challenges that led to the initial 
establishment and growth of ISIS. The Committee will conduct 
oversight of the State Department's various counterterrorism 
programs, including those designed to counter violent extremism 
(CVE), as well as agreements with foreign governments relating 
to the transfer of detainees from Guantanamo Bay.
    o. U.S. Policies and Actions in the Arabian Peninsula: The 
Committee will evaluate the U.S. role in the Gulf, particularly 
the role that the United States plays in Yemen, as well as ways 
that the United States can help bring the conflict to an end 
and address the serious security and economic concerns that 
have plagued Yemen for decades. The Committee will also review 
the U.S. relationship with members of the Saudi-led coalition 
in Yemen as well as U.S. policy options to build leverage with 
the Houthis in order to encourage compromise and a lasting 
resolution to the conflict. The Committee will also critically 
evaluate ongoing U.S. arms transfers and security cooperation 
with Gulf governments and the extent to which changes in U.S. 
policy in these areas can support an end to the Yemen conflict. 
The Committee will examine the status of rights of women, 
journalists, political dissidents and bloggers in the Gulf, and 
the extent to which current U.S. policy prioritizes human 
rights, the core of U.S. values.
    p. Iran: The Committee will continue to closely review U.S. 
policy toward Iran, with a special focus on evaluating how the 
U.S. withdrawal from the JCPOA impacts the interests of the 
United States and our allies and how re-engagement in the JCPOA 
would tangibly benefit U.S. national security and that of our 
allies. The Committee will also review and work to address the 
threat posed by Iran's ballistic missile development, state 
sponsorship of terrorism and growing influence in Iraq, Syria, 
Yemen, and Lebanon, as well as the regime's ongoing human 
rights abuses, including the continued prolonged detention of 
Americans.
    q. Israel and Palestinian Issues/Middle East Peace: The 
Committee will evaluate the lasting consequences of the Trump 
administration's efforts to advance peace between Israelis and 
Palestinians and will examine the current Administration's 
strategy and recent policy changes in light of a needed return 
to work towards a two-state solution. The Committee will 
examine the enduring consequences of changes to U.S. assistance 
to Palestinians and the implications of these decisions for our 
allies and interests as well as the basic human rights of the 
Palestinian people. The Committee will look at the various ways 
that the Administration can continue building cooperation with 
Israel in an effort to expand this mutually beneficial 
relationship.
    r. Middle East and North Africa: The Committee will 
carefully review overall U.S. policy toward the Middle East and 
North Africa, to include: the extent to which U.S. foreign 
assistance is being utilized in Iraq to help address the 
inequities that brought about the initial rise of ISIS; the 
democratic transition in Tunisia; the status of political 
negotiations in Libya; the impact of Chinese economic and 
diplomatic investment in the Middle East; the consequences of 
low oil prices for various oil-producing states; human rights 
and challenges to the rule of law throughout the region; and 
United States policies, programs, authorities and funding to 
address these challenges.
    s. State Department and U.S. Agency for International 
Development Oversight, Authorization, and Modernization: The 
Committee will seek to pass a State Department Authorization 
bill as one has not been enacted since 2002. Emphasis will also 
be placed on modernizing personnel systems and practices, 
increasing workforce flexibility and improving recruitment, 
retention, and promotion processes, with a focus on ensuring 
that Department of State personnel better represent the 
diversity of the United States. The Committee will continue to 
monitor and examine the operations, budget, programs, planning, 
workforce training, building, and security policies with an eye 
toward authorization for Fiscal Year 2021. In addition to 
hearings with the Secretary of State and other Administration 
officials regarding their budget proposals for the upcoming 
year, such efforts may include: revisions to the Foreign 
Service Act; the Foreign Assistance Act; efforts to improve 
diversity and inclusion, with an emphasis on addressing 
barriers to retention and promotion at the mid and senior 
levels, consideration of reforms to Executive Branch reporting 
requirements; and a reduction or consolidation of offices with 
duplicative mandates and overlapping responsibilities. In the 
wake of increasing threats to U.S. personnel serving overseas, 
the Committee will continue to evaluate the security of our 
embassies and consulates, along with proposed reforms to the 
State Department's diplomatic security service to promote the 
personnel safety in the context of appropriate evaluation of 
risk.
    t. Employee Retaliation: The Committee will pursue 
legislative changes to address the results of its investigation 
during the 116th Congress into politically-motivated 
retaliation against State Department and USAID employees during 
the Trump Administration, including individuals who have 
alleged they were subjected to prohibited personnel practices 
on account of their national origin, sexual identity, perceived 
political views, or in response to whistleblowing.
    u. Foreign Assistance: The Committee will review the 
underlying authorities for U.S. foreign assistance with an eye 
towards reducing duplication, increasing transparency and 
effectiveness, and modernizing the foreign assistance 
workforce. It will also review issues related to the 
implementation of U.S. foreign assistance programs and 
projects, including the role of U.S. missions and embassies in 
overseeing grants, contracts, and cooperative agreements. In 
addition, the Committee will review issues related to 
coordination between the U.S. Agency for International 
Development (USAID) and other U.S. Government agencies and 
departments involved in carrying out U.S. foreign assistance. 
Among a broad range of issues, the Committee will review U.S. 
foreign assistance initiatives aimed at providing life-saving 
humanitarian assistance, catalyzing economic growth, supporting 
sustainable development approaches, reducing state fragility, 
and addressing food security and global health challenges, and 
increasing resilience of developing communities to weather 
shocks and stresses, including climate change. The Committee 
will also exercise oversight over the initial investments and 
growth of the newly created International Development Finance 
Corporation. Assistance provided through the Millennium 
Challenge Corporation will also receive close scrutiny.
    v. Global Health: The Committee will examine key global 
health issues, in particular the ongoing effects of COVID-19, 
both directly and on broader global health efforts. The 
Committee will also conduct oversight on global health security 
efforts, including infectious disease surveillance and control 
and strengthening of health care systems. Additionally, the 
Committee will examine the impacts of the previous 
Administration's reimposition of the Global Gag Rule and 
elimination of funding to UNFPA on women's health services and 
access to reproductive health. Additionally, the Committee's 
oversight will include reviewing PEPFAR's efforts to date, as 
well as, progress on global malnutrition elimination, support 
for maternal and child health, and the U.S. engagement with the 
Global Fund to Fight AIDS, TB and Malaria.
    w. Climate Change, Energy, and the Environment: The 
Committee will examine the effectiveness of U.S. policy on 
climate change, including the impact of the past 
Administration's withdrawal from the Paris Climate Accord on 
our diplomatic relations, our development assistance, and 
multilateral engagement. We will explore the impacts of climate 
change on national security, its contributions to displacement 
and social unrest across the globe, and how we can advance a 
path toward climate stabilization. We will consider the 
evolution of the global energy landscape, emphasize good 
governance of existing resources, and work to assure energy 
security for the US and our allies. The Committee will also 
oversee engagement on environmental issues including wildlife 
trafficking, international conservation efforts, and the role 
and safety of environmental activists across the globe.
    x. Economic Policy and Trade: The Committee will oversee 
international economic policy, including U.S. leadership in 
trade, finance, energy, technology, and development policy to 
promote economic prosperity and national security.
    y. The Committee will continue to oversee the 
administration of defense export controls under the Arms Export 
Control Act.
    z. U.S. Nonproliferation Policy: The Committee will examine 
the effectiveness of U.S. nonproliferation policy and the 
international nonproliferation regime in preventing the spread 
of weapons of mass destruction. The Committee will address 
opportunities to strengthen existing nonproliferation 
organizations, especially the International Atomic Energy 
Agency, increase cooperation with other countries, and enhance 
international nonproliferation agreements and mechanisms 
including the international regulation of civil nuclear power 
and the potential spread of technology, equipment and material 
useful in the development of nuclear weapons capabilities. The 
Committee will closely examine proposed and existing bilateral 
nuclear cooperation agreements with other countries, including 
their potential to promote U.S. nonproliferation objectives and 
commercial interests.
    aa. Export Controls, Arms Transfers and Security 
Assistance: The Committee will assess the effectiveness of 
export controls under the Export Control Reform Act, regulation 
of defense transfers under the Arms Export Control Act and 
security assistance programs authorized under the Foreign 
Assistance Act and the Arms Export Control Act in advancing 
U.S. national interests. In addition, the Committee will review 
those security cooperation programs funded by the Department of 
Defense, but which require concurrence of the Secretary of 
State, or otherwise give rise to the Committee's jurisdiction.
    bb. U.S. International Broadcasting: The Committee will 
continue to actively monitor and review the operations and 
organization of U.S. government-supported, civilian 
international broadcasting to respond more effectively to the 
challenges presented by state and non-state actors using modern 
communication platforms. The Committee will closely oversee 
efforts by USAGM to rebuild from the brief, destructive tenure 
of former CEO Michael Pack, and return USAGM to its proper 
position of being independent and non-partisan.
    cc. Human Rights and Democracy: The Committee will examine 
and monitor human rights abuses around the world and the 
deterioration of democracy and democratic norms globally. The 
Committee will also review the Administration's recentering of 
human rights and democracy as a key parts of U.S. foreign 
policy, with an added emphasis on addressing issues of 
inequities on the basis of race, color, ethnicity, religion, 
sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, disability, age, or 
national origin. The Committee will also assess U.S. 
involvement with multilateral human rights organizations, to 
ensure that U.S. diplomacy serves to promote human rights and 
freedoms.
    dd. United Nations and International Organizations: The 
Committee will closely review all aspects of U.S. participation 
in international organizations and seek to ensure the U.S. is 
accountable for its funding commitments, as well as advocating 
for equitable obligations from all UN member states. The 
Committee will closely monitor the work of the United Nations 
Department of Peacekeeping Operations and Department of Field 
Support, and particularly efforts to improve performance and 
enhance accountability. The Committee will seek to ensure 
America's engagement with UN institutions will support 
international diplomatic and development goals, including the 
Sustainable Development Goals. The Committee will also assess 
and address foreign adversaries' attempts to expand influence 
in UN institutions to coopt these organizations in service of 
private political agendas. Close attention will be paid to the 
extent to which the Administration's strategies in 
international organizations has led to greater engagement and 
improved outcomes on human rights issues, as well as its 
support for and accountability of the World Health 
Organization, now that the United States has reentered.
    ee. Cyberpolicy: The Committee will conduct oversight over 
U.S. efforts to examine and devise appropriate responses to 
cyber threats from foreign governments, non-state actors, and 
criminal networks that target the United States. The Committee 
will also examine efforts by U.S. adversaries to undermine the 
government, democratic and other institutions of the United 
States and other nations through cyber intrusions.

                            Additional Views

    Rep. Dina Titus (NV-1):
    In addition to the oversight priorities outlined regarding 
Turkey, the Committee should also pay close attention to 
Turkey's continued persecution of religious minorities, in 
clear violation of its own Constitution, and to its 
antagonistic actions against Greece, a NATO ally, in the Aegean 
Sea.

    VI. SUMMARY OF ACTIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS WITH RESPECT TO THE 
           OVERSIGHT PLAN AND ADDITIONAL OVERSIGHT ACTIVITIES

    The Committee utilized a range of tools and engagements to 
conduct ongoing oversight of the Department of State and other 
foreign affairs-related agencies during the 117th Congress. 
Oversight was conducted pursuant to the Committee's oversight 
plan and priorities therein, as well as on real-time or 
unanticipated foreign policy developments around the globe that 
demanded Congressional attention.
    As described in more detail above, regular hearings on 
pressing foreign policy topics--with testimony from both 
government and private witnesses--enabled substantive public 
debate about the Executive Branch approach to advancing U.S. 
foreign policy priorities as well as the shaping of next steps 
and Congressional recommendations to support those priorities. 
Legislative markups reflected the work product of oversight by 
bringing up bills for consideration to place appropriate 
guardrails on agencies of jurisdiction, send signals of 
Congressional intent about the use of foreign affairs-related 
authorities and resources, and direct attention to areas where 
more intensive U.S. diplomatic or development engagement was 
needed. Additionally, Committee members utilized briefings, 
closed or classified meetings, and periodic phone calls with 
Executive Branch officials throughout the 117th Congress to 
monitor the implementation of U.S. foreign policy authorities 
and resources. Committee staff augmented these engagements with 
regular follow-up to the agencies on priority matters.
    The Chairman and Committee members also used exchanges of 
letters and requests for documents and additional written 
information to ascertain further detail on agencies' activities 
and the Executive Branch's formulation and implementation of 
U.S. foreign policy at a more granular level. Questions for the 
record were used to augment and expand witness testimony at 
Committee hearings. The Committee also reviewed congressional 
notifications, statutory reporting, and other documents 
produced to it by agencies of jurisdiction to develop a 
complete picture of U.S. diplomatic and development activities 
and inform additional legislative and oversight responses.
    Finally, beyond its routine and robust engagement directly 
with agencies of jurisdiction, the Committee also utilized 
Member and staff-level international travel; domestic public 
engagements with constituents and U.S. civil society, media, 
and advocacy groups; participation in international conferences 
and summits; and meetings with foreign government dignitaries 
and international civil society representatives to inform its 
oversight of U.S. foreign policy and shape Congressional 
recommendations and actions.
