COMMITTEE ON FOREIGN RELATIONS
RULES OF THE COMMITTEE ON FOREIGN RELATIONS
RULES OF THE COMMITTEE ON FOREIGN RELATIONS
(Adopted February 12, 1999.)
------------
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.
13. National security and international aspects of trusteeships of
the United States.
14. Ocean and international environmental and scientific affairs
as they relate to foreign policy.
15. Protection of United States citizens abroad and expatriation.
16. Relations of the United States with foreign nations generally.
17. Treaties and executive agreements, except reciprocal trade
agreements.
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 as 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.
