LEGISLATIVE REVIEW AND OVERSIGHT ACTIVITIES

DECEMBER 27, 2011.—Committed to the Committee of the Whole House on the State of the Union and ordered to be printed

Ms. ROS-LEHTINEN, from the Committee on Foreign Affairs, submitted the following

R E P O R T

I. INTRODUCTION: OVERSIGHT OF FOREIGN AFFAIRS A. Authorities for Legislative Review The responsibilities and potentialities of legislative review are re- flected in the multiple authorities available to the Committee on Foreign Affairs. The most prominent is section 118 of the Legisla- tive 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 Con- gress, 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 Represent- atives 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 compari-

Res. 988, approved Oct. 8, 1974). Special oversight, which is intended to enable committees to conduct comprehensive oversight of matters directly bearing upon their speci- fied 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 For- eign Affairs currently has special oversight jurisdiction in four areas under clause 3(f) of House Rule X: 3. (f) The Committee on Foreign Affairs shall review and study on a continuing basis laws, programs, and Government activities relating to customs administration, intelligence activities relating to foreign policy, international financial and monetary organizations, and international fishing agreements. Reporting requirements in legislation frequently obligate various agencies, directly or through the President, to submit reports of certain activities to the Committee on Foreign Affairs to the Speak- er 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 Budg- et 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 pos- sible guidelines for subsequent action on authorizing legislation. The committee submitted an extensive, 15-page views and estimates letter, along with five additional pages of minority views, to the Committee on the Budget on March 18, 2011. Finally, the authorization process itself provides the prospect of significant oversight impact, with opportunities for program evaluation as well as the investigation of personnel hiring and pro- motion 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. B. Oversight Developments in the Committee on Foreign Affairs In the 109th Congress, the committee gained a 7th subcommittee, the ‘‘Subcommittee on Oversight and Investigations,’’ and the other six subcommittees were somewhat reorganized. The

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.

There were no substantive changes to the committee makeup in the 111th Congress. In the 112th Congress, the committee again has seven subcommittees. Three of the subcommittees have retained the same ti- tles: Middle East and South Asia; Terrorism, Nonproliferation, and Trade; and the Western Hemisphere. The remaining four subcommittees have been reorganized into: Africa, Global Health, and Human Rights; Asia and the Pacific; Europe and Eurasia; and Oversight and Investigations. At the beginning of the 112th Congress, the Rules of the Com- mittee on Foreign Affairs also were amended to clearly identify oversight expectations. Committee rule 15 (‘‘Powers and Duties of Subcommittees’’) now clearly requires regular hearings by each of the regional subcommittees on priority topics (oversight, national security, human rights, and U.S. economic interests) twice a year. Committee rule 24 (‘‘General Oversight’’) now makes clear that the committee or a subcommittee is required to hold at least three hearings a year on waste, fraud, abuse, or mismanagement as documented in a Government Accountability Office or Inspector Gen- eral report. C. Oversight Activities and Criteria The oversight activities of the Committee on Foreign Affairs include a variety of instruments and mechanisms—full committee and subcommittee hearings, member and staff study missions abroad, special Congressional Research Service studies, and Gen- eral Accounting Office assistance and reports in the field of international relations. Committee and subcommittee hearings may be conducted for nu- merous 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 per- forms the oversight function were identified by the House Select Committee on Committees in 1973 and are as follows:2

(1) To review and control unacceptable forms of bureaucratic behavior; (2) To ensure that bureaucracy implements the policy objec- tives of the Congress;

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 also occurs 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 Com- mittee on Foreign Affairs for the 112th 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 Plan for the 112th Congress Almost all of the committee’s day-to-day activities, including hearings and informal meetings, involve oversight of the Adminis- tration or afford the committee the opportunity to learn of the impact of the Administration’s foreign policy on foreign nations or the American people. In fulfillment of clause 1(d)(2) of House Rule XI, the committee’s Oversight Plan (submitted under clause 2(d) of House Rule X) was set out in the committee’s first Legislative Re- view and Oversight Activities Report of the 112th Congress (H.Rept. 112–126), filed on June 28, 2011. II. GENERAL REVIEW ACTIVITIES OF THE COMMITTEE A. Executive Branch Reports and Congressional Notifications Statutory reporting requirements, and the reports submitted in response to them, constitute one of the oldest information systems used by Congress. On every subject Congress covers, 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 Con- gress 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 do- main. 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 Foreign Affairs, the improvement of the system of required reports offers more than tidier housekeeping. It offers another step toward a better supply of information that Con-

Through the careful placing of reporting requirements in legislation, the patient moni- toring 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. Committee staff also conducts a regular and robust review of Congressional notifications regarding the proposed obligation or re- programming of funding for various program activities by our agencies of jurisdiction. During the reporting period, the committee has received 181 notifications from the Department of State and 198 from the United States Agency for International Development. B. Reference Documents Periodically the Committee on Foreign Affairs compiles, prints, and distributes official documents which are useful to the membership in exercising the oversight function as well as other responsibilities. These include the Legislation on Foreign Relations. This 5-volume set is prepared under the direction of the staff of the House Committee on Foreign Affairs 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 mate- rials contains texts referred to by the Committee on Foreign Af- fairs, and the Foreign Relations Committee, amended to date, and annotated to show pertinent history or cross references. The collection 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. 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 senior government officials, both civil and military, have been aug- mented 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 members also have been designated to serve as official delegates to a number of international conferences and events. In addition, members of the Committee on Foreign Affairs par- ticipated in the following interparliamentary exchanges during the second quarter of the 112th Congress: • June 14–15 2011, 50th Annual Meeting of the Mexico— United States Interparliamentary Group in Washington D.C. • June 28–July 2, 2011, 70th Meeting of the Transatlantic Legislators Dialogue in Brussels, Belgium and Budapest, Hungary. • October 7–10, 2011, 57th Annual Meeting of the NATO Par- liamentary Assembly in Bucharest, Romania.
