LEGISLATIVE REVIEW, ACTIVITIES
DECEMBER 2H, 1988.-Committed to the Committee~of the~Whole House on-the State
of the Union and ordered to be.printed -
Mr. FASCELL, from the Committee on Foreign Affairs,
submitted the following
REPORT
I. INTRODUCTION: OVERSIGHT IN THE FOREIGN AFFAIRS
FIELD
A. Authorities for Legislative Review -
The responsibilities and potentialities of legislative review are re-
flectedin the multiple authorities which are available to the Com-
mittee on Foreign Affairs. The most prominent is section 118 of the
Legislative Reorganization Act of 1970 (Public Law 91-b1U):
LEGISLATIV?E REVIEW BY_~STANDING COMMITTEES OF THE u
:SENATE AND IIOUSE OF. REPRESENTATIVES
(a) Scope-of.assistance. ' .-
In order to assist the Congress in=
(1)` Its analysis, appraisal, and evaluation of the' ap-
plication; 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 ap-
propriate, 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. sub-
ject matter of which is within the jurisdiction of that
committee. Such committees. may carry out the -re-
quired 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 oil such techniques as pilot
tes"ting,, analysis of costs.. in comparison with benefits,
or provision for evaluation after a defined period of
time.1
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 com-
prehensive oversight of matters directly bearing upon their speci-
fied responsibilities even if those matters fall within the jurisdic-
tion of other standing committees, permits an expansion of the leg-
islative review jurisdiction of a committee. The Committee on For-
eign Affairs was granted special oversight in four areas by the
Committee Reform Amendments of 1974 (H. Res. 988):
3. (d) The Committee on Foreign Affairs 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 mon-
etary 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 Foreign ,Affairs or to the
Speaker of the House, who then transmits them to the committee.
The House Committee on Foreign Affairs is the recipient of one of
the largest quantities of required reports from the executive
branch.2
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 subcom-
mittees the opportunity to review those items in the President's
budget which come under the committee's jurisdiction, and to es-
tablish possible guidelines for subsequent action on authorizing leg-
islation.
A final authority which can .have an impressive oversight impact
is implicit iii the authorization process. Regular and frequent reau-
thorization of program or agency operations by committees pre-
sents the opportunity to - investigate administrative personnel "
hiring and promotion practices, agency organization, employee de-
' 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 sen-
tences regarding program review and evaluation.
z The Clerk.of the U.S. House of Representatives publishes "Reports to be Made to Congress"
each session. The most recent issue was printed January 25, 1988, as House Document 100-160,
100th Congress, 2d session. Additionally, the committee published "Required Reports to Con-
grew on Foreign Policy," dated August 1, 1988. This committee print was prepared by the For-
eign Affairs and National Defense Division of the Congressional Research Service of the Library
of Congress.

velopment and benefit programs, policy guidance, and administra-
tive rules and regulations regarding the implementation and execu-
tion of policy, .among other items. The authorization process also
permits program evaluation, an important oversight technique.
. The legislative review activities of the Committee on. Foreign Af-
fairs 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. Recent Oversight Developments in the Committee on Foreign
Affairs
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 technolo-.
gy 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 en-
larged: 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 Inter-
national Development.and other U.S. agencies' operations affecting
development; (2) administration of foreign assistance; (3) oversight
of multilateral assistance programs; (4) .population and food pro-
grams; and (5) legislation and oversight with respect to the Peace
Corps, which was subsumed by the. full committee. The subcommit-
tees for the .96th Congress, representing a mix of geographical and
functional responsibilities, were as follows: .
' Subcommittee on International Security and Scientific Af-
fairs;
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.
For the 98th Congress, the subcommittee structure 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 Nar-
cotics Control. The purpose of this task force was to provide over-
sight- of narcotics-related rules over which the committee has juris-

? and Customs personnel;
Narcotics control- programs carried out by international or-
ganizations;
Intelligence issues related to narcotics trafficking and con-
trol;
Prisoner exchange programs and their impact on U.S. nar-
cotics control efforts;
Narcotics interdiction programs and agreements;
Narcotics-related efforts by the. U.S. Information Agency;
and .
Relationship between international banking/financial trans-
actions and narcotics trafficking.
Subcommittee structure remained the same for the 99th Con-
gress; however, the name of the-Subcommittee on International Se-
curity 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 issue of arms control. The jurisdiction of the'subcom-
mittee was redefined in the rules of the Committee on Foreign Af-
fairs 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 con-
cepts; * * * "
Under the rules of the House, the Committee on Foreign Affairs
has jurisdiction over issues involving international terrorism pur-
suant 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 juris-
dictional 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. Gov-
ernment's policies and programs for- combating international ter-
rorist movements and actions; * * ". The Subcommittee on Inter-
national Operations jurisdictional responsibility was redefined. to
include " * * international terrorism with special emphasis on
policies and programs relating to the enhancement for embassy se-
curity and the protection of U.S. personnel and institutions
abroad; * * ".
In addition, two subcommittees had language added to their re-
spective definitions providing responsibility for oversight of inter-
national .communication and information policy. Lastly, the Sub-
committee on Human Rights and International Organizations was
given the responsibility over international law.
No changes were made in subcommittee structure or jurisdiction
for the 100th Congress.
diction pursuant to rule X of the Rules of the House, which in-
cludes 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)

C. Oversight Activities and Criteria
The oversight activities of the Committee on Foreign Affairs in-
clude avariety . of instruments and mechanisms-full committee
and subcommittee hearings,, member study missions abroad, staff
surveys. 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 nu-
merous purposes and may .serve more than one function (i.e. over-
sight, legislation, public education) simultaneously. 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 Select Commit-
tee on Committees "in 1973 and-are as follows:3
(1) To review and control unacceptable forms of bureaucratic
behavior; ,
(2) To insure that bureaucracy implements the policy objec-
tives 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 ali 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 administrative 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 100th Congress rely on extensive
authorities embodied in the IJegislative Reorganization Act of 1970
and reinforced through subsequent legislation; reporting require-
ments, the authorization process; and additional committee juris -
dictional responsibilities.

II. GENERAL REVIEW ACTIVITIES OF THE COMMITTEE
A. Inventory of Committee Jurisdiction
In order to facilitate compliance with section 118 of the Legisla-
tive Reorganization Act of 1970, the committee has maintained a
list of legislative acts or parts of acts which fall entirely or partial-
ly within the committee's jurisdiction. The inventory is subdivided
according to the jurisdictional categories established for the com-
mittee by rule X of the-Rules of the House of Representatives.
The jurisdiction as defined in the rule was made effective on Jan-
uary 4, 1977, pursuant to House Resolution 5. The completed and
updated inventory may be found as an appendix to this report. (See
appendix I.)
B. Executive Branch Reports
Reporting requirements in legislation and the reports submitted
in "response to them constitute one of the oldest information sys-
tems used by Congress. On every subject with which Congress
deals, required reports offer a way to oversee and review the imple-
mentation of legislation by the executive branch.
In the foreign policy field, it is particularly important to insure
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 prollems from abroad. Moreover, the execu-
tive 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 ex-
ecutive branch activities has been one of the major reasons it has
been more difficult for Congress to find and 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-
gress needs to make foreign policy decisions. 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.
C. Reference Documents
Periodically the Committee on Foreign Affairs compiles, prints,
and distributes official documents which are useful to the member-

ship in exercising the oversight function as well as other responsi-
bilities. The following is a listing of those compilations for the
100th Congress:
1. Legislation on Foreign Relations.-This volume was prepared
under the direction of the staff of the Committee on Foreign Af-
fairs with the assistance of the Foreign Affairs and National De-
fense Division of the Congressional Research Service of the Library
of Congress. This .collection of laws and related material contains
texts referred to by the Committee on Foreign Affairs, and the For-
eign Relations Committee of the U.S. Senate, amended to date, and
annotated to show pertinent history or cross references. The collec-
tion of over 3,954 pages include all laws concerning foreign rela-
tions; codified and in force, treaties in force; as well as executive
agreements and orders, State Department regulations and State
Department delegations of authority as of December 31, 1987. .
2. Congress and Foreign Policy.-As Congress has continued to
maintain an active role in the conduct of United States foreign
policy, the need exists for a document summarizing congressional
participation in this important area. For this reason, since 1974,
the Foreign Affairs Committee has requested that the Foreign Af-
fairs and National Defense Division, Congressional Research Serv-
ice, Library of Congress, prepare annual reports on actions taken
by Congress which impact on American foreign policy. Accordingly,
"Congress and Foreign Policy, 1985-86" was published in December
of 1987. This study discussed the following areas: South Africa
sanctions; aid to the Nicaraguan contras; arms control; trade; for-
eign aid; the Philippines, African economic crisis; and international
terrorism.
3. Survey of Activities.-This report is prepared biannually by
the Committee on Foreign Affairs, and provides a comprehensive
survey of the committee's activities during the current session of
Congress. The purpose of the report is to provide the members of
the Committee on Foreign Affairs and the membership of the
House with a record of the activities through which the committee
has discharged its responsibilities for legislative and oversight mat-
ters affecting the foreign affairs of the United States.
Among the features of the document are: (1) summaries of all
legislation considered by the committee, providing the history of
measures enacted. into law and concurrent and House resolutions
that were adopted; (2) a summary by subcommittee of its activities
for the year; (3) a complete listing of all witnesses appearing before
the committee and its subcommittees; (4) a complete listing of all
House reports, hearings, and committee prints published by the
committee, and (5) the text of all measures enacted into law and of
resolutions on which final action was taken.
The Survey of Activities, 100th Congress edition will be pub-
lished in January of 1989.
.~. Legislative Calendar.-This compendium of committee legisla-
tive 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 amend-
ments to committee legislation; a budgetary status chart of Foreign

hearings focused on an examination of the prevailing policy for the
last 40 years with respect to the Gulf region, which has utilized
both diplomatic and political activities, as well as a strong military
presence. This policy was called into question by the heightened

er of the House Wright which made clear that basic U.S. security
objectives in Central America are not a matter for partisan dis-
pute; and (3) the Guatemala Agreement-a meeting attended by

fiscal year 1989. Secretary of State George Shultz discussed the cur-
rent situations with respect to Central America, Afghanistan, the
Iran-Iraq conflict, international terrorism, and the drug-trafficking
problem. In addition, the Secretary outlined those items on the pri-
ority agenda for 1988, namely, U.S.-Soviet relations and arms con-

committee held a series of hearings to consider the Intelligence
Oversight Act of 1988, which was jointly referred to the committee
and the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence. This
measure was. jointly referred to the committee based on its over-
sight responsibility of the foreign policy implications of intelligence
activities, and specifically for section 2 of the bill which would
repeal section 662 of the Foreign Assistance Act. Section 662 of the
Foreign Assistance Act requires the President to notify the Con-
gress of covert operations . `in a timely fashion." The Intelligence

(m) Conventional Arms Talks.-The full committee held a series
of joint hearings in June and July of 1988, with the Commission on
Security and Cooperation in Europe to examine the status of con-
ventional arms talks in Europe. The hearings focused on the ac-
tions taken by NATO Members to permit the expansion of the
Commission on Security and Cooperation in Europe from human
rights questions into areas encompassing military security issues
affecting East-West relations. Concerns expressed during the hear-
ings centered on the ability of the Commission to maintain its
strength in pursuing human rights progress while expanding its
knowledge of security issues. In addition, the hearings examined
the status of the conventional arms talks underway in Europe. Wit-
nesses included Members of Congress, the Assistant Secretary,
Bureau of European and? Canadian Affairs, Department of State,
and the Assistant Secretary- for International Security Policy, De-
partment of Defense.
(n) International Narcotics Control.-During the 100th Congress,
the Task Force on International Narcotics held 16 hearings on
topics dealing with the worldwide problem of narcotics control. In
addition, the Task Force held numerous meetings with representa-
tives of the United States Government, foreign dignitaries, and for-
eign law enforcement officials. The Task Force also developed rec-
ommendations for the 1988 omnibus anti-drug bill which were in-
corporated with amendments into Title IV of H.R. 5210, the omni-
bus bill which became Public Law 100-690. Many of the provisions
in the drug legislation stemmed directly from the Task Force s
oversight of international narcotics issues, as well as General Ac-
counting Office (GAO) reports mandated by the committee to assess
the effectiveness of U.S. international narcotics control programs.
In 1987, the Task Force began its series- of hearings in March
with a review of the worldwide drug situation and international
narcotics control programs in general, and specifically with'an ex-
amination of Latin American narcotics control issues. The role of
the intelligence community in international narcotics control was
the topic of a hearing held in May of 1987, during which the Task
Force learned how the Reagan administration -had organized the
various agencies involved, and coordinated their differing roles in
narcotics intelligence production and dissemination. In May of
1987, the Task Force reviewed narcotics control issues in the Baha-
mas and the Caribbean, which are major transit points for drugs
coming into the United States. U.S. narcotics control efforts in
Southeast Asia were the topic of hearings in June and July of 1987.
Also in July, the Task Force met to receive a status report from
the General Accounting Office on its ongoing review of U.S. inter-
national narcotics control programs. In October of 1987, the Task
Force met twice, first to scrutinize the Department of State's mid-
year update report, mandated by law, on the international narcot-
ics control situation; and second, to examine the status of U.S. ex-
tradition treaties and mutual legal assistance treaties as they
relate to narcotics violations.
The Task Force continued its hearings iri 1988 with surveys of
the narcotics trade and the administration's response in South

America, Southeast/Southwest Asia, the Middle East, and Africa,
and Central America, Colombia, and the Caribbean. In March of
1988, the Task Force met to review the Department of State's
annual International Narcotics Control Strategy Report toy Con-
gress on major narcotics producing and transit nations. This report
accompanies the President's certifications on whether these coun-
tries have "fully cooperated" with the United States in antinarcot-
ics efforts. Finally, in September of 1988, the Task Force met to
evaluate the. report, prepared by the Department of State, mandat-
ing twice a year reports on drug-related corruption in foreign coun-
tries, and imposing sanctions on any country on which positive
findings regarding corruption are made.
(o) Legislative Measures.-In addition, during the 100th Congress,
the full committee met to consider numerous legislative measures
including: authorizations for the Arms Control and Disarmament
Agency, the . Department of State, United States Information
Agency (USIA), the Board for International Broadcastig (BIB), the
Overseas Private Investment Corporation (OPIC), the Trade
Reform Act, the Omnibus Drug Initiative Act of 1988, and Bangla-
desh disaster assistance. A complete listing of all legislation which
was acted upon by the committee may be found in Appendix IV:
Legislative Progress Chart for the 100th Congress.
2. Other Activities
(a) Briefings.-Throughout the 100th Congress, the committee
conducted briefings, both in open and closed sessions, to keep
abreast of events in various troubled areas of the world. Specifical-
ly, briefings were held on the sale of F-5 aircraft to Honduras, the
status of MIAs/POWs, worldwide human rights abuse, the situa-
tion in Haiti, major U.S. military sales to foreign countries, the
Middle East, the situation in Nicaragua and Honduras, the situa-
tion in the Persian Gulf, the sale of the Aegis Weapons System to
Japan, the situation in Haiti and Panama, and the shooting down
of a Iranian A300 airbus over the Persian Gulf. Continuous brief-
ings were held throughout 1987 and 1988 on the Geneva arms con-
trol talks, the Reagan-Gorbachev summit meetings, and the inter-
national narcotics control situation.
(b) Reports Pursuant to Law.-In a continuing effort to review
the application of laws within the committee's jurisdiction, the
committee published certain reports submitted to the Congress pur-
suant to public law. These included the eighth and ninth annual
reports prepared by the Department of State on Science, Technolo-
gy and American Diplomacy, pursuant to section 503(b) of the For-
eign Relations Act of 1978; Fiscal Year 1988 and 1989 Arms Control
Impact Statements, submitted by the President pursuant to section
36 of the Arms Control and Disarmament Act; the 1986 and 1987

United States-Reports to Congress Pursuant to Section 604 of the
Omnibus Diplomatic Security and Anti-Terrorism Act of 1986
(Public Law 99-399)" was published. The Omnibus Diplomatic Se-
curity and International Terrorism Act of -1986 was passed by Con-
gress in 1986 to respond to increasing and comprehensive threats
posed by international terrorism. One part of the legislation direct-
ed five U.S. Government agencies to review the adequacy of physi-
cal protection measures applied- to shipments and storage (outside
the United States) of nuclear material subject to U.S. prior consent
rights. The reviews called for in the legislation are, designed to
assist the Congress in its attempt to discern the nature and scope
of this potential problem, to judge the adequacy of current physical
protection measures, and to anticipate any new measures which
may be desirable. Given the public interest in this subject, the' com-
mittee published the reports submitted by the Departments of
Energy, Defense, State, .the Arms Control and Disarmament
Agency, and the Nuclear Regulatory Commission pursuant to this
reporting requirement as the above-mentioned committee print:
In August of 1988, the committee published a study prepared for
the committee by the Foreign Affairs Division of the Congressional
Research Service of the Library of Congress of reporting require-
ments in the foreign affairs field. The House Foreign Affairs Com-
~, mittee and the Senate Foreign Relations Committee published in
~ 1973 an analysis and assessment by the Congressional Research
Service of all foreign affairs reporting requirements and the re-
ports submitted by the executive branch in response. In 1985 the
Congressional Research Service was asked to review and assess the
reporting requirements again, and through the next two years indi-
vidual assessments of almost 400 requirements were made. The re-
sults of this study contained an overview of Congressional Research
Service findings, a .list of the 700-plus reporting requirements relat-
e ed to foreign affairs, and a summary of the requirements-the first
publication of this list since 1973. A list was also included of re-
quirements found to be obsolete, duplicative, or of questioned utili-
ty. The committee print was entitled, "Required Reports to Con-
ress on Forei Polic ".
g ~ Y
(c) Parliamentary Exchanges.-During the 100th Congress Mem-
bers of the committee and other Members of the Congress partici-
pated in numerous parliamentary exchanges throughout the world.
Meetings were held between Members of Congress and the Europe-
an Parliament, Interparliamentary Union, the Mexico-United
States Interparliamentary Group, and the Canada-United States
Interparliamentary Group. Committee prints detailing the results
of these exchanges were published by the committee.
(d) Soviet Diplomacy and- Negotiating Behavior-1979-88.-In
August of 1988, -the committee published a study entitled, "Soviet
Diplomacy and Negotiating Behavior, 1979-88: New Tests for U.S.
Diplomacy," prepared at the request of the committee by the
Senior Specialists Section, Office of Research Coordination, Con-
gressional Research Service of the Library of Congress. This study
was a continuation of a previous study by the Congressional Re-
search Service published in 1979 entitled, "Soviet Diplomacy and
Negotiating Behavior: Emerging New Context for U.S. Diplomacy."

The principal purpose of the study was to examine the style, pur-
poses, and effects of Soviet beliavior in diplomacy and negotiations
in historical perspective, largely from the American point of view.
Divided into six parts, the study identified basic questions to be ad-
dressed, provided some historical reflections on the evolution of. di-
plomacy, and examined at length Soviet-American diplomacy and
major negotiating encounters between the Vienna Summit in 1979
and the Gorbachev-Reagan Summit in Geneva in 1985. The grow-
ing role of Congress in Soviet diplomacy and negotiations received
special attention in the study as a new development in Soviet for-
eign policy. The study concluded with implications for U.S. diplo-
macy in the context of present and future Soviet-American rela-
tions.
(e) Women's Perspectives on U.S. Foreign Policy.-From Novem-
ber 19-21, 1987, the National Women's Conference Committee
sponsored three days of meetings in Washington, D.C. to mark the
tenth anniversary of the first federally-funded National Women's
Conference, and to assess the progress made since then. At the
1977 Conference recommendations were made that the President
and the executive branch should intensify efforts to appoint more
women to senior positions in foreign affairs; that the United States
should support retaining and providing adequate funding for the
United Nations Commission on the Status of Women; that the
Agency for International Development and similar assistance agen-
cies should give a high priority to implementing existing legislation
and policies designed to promote the integration of women in devel-
opment; and that the President should intensify efforts in the areas
of human rights and nuclear disarmament.
The meetings in November of 1987 focused on progress made
toward the implementation. of the recommendations made in 1977,
and offered a forum for women leaders who are expert in their
fields of endeavor to present their view on a number of important
policy issues. The results of the 1987 meetings were published by
the committee as a committee print entitled, "Women's Perspec-
tives on U.S. Foreign Policy: A Compilation of Views."
(f) United States Relations with Asia.-In February of 1987 the
committee published the results of a staff study mission to review
United States economic relations and economic development with
Korea, Taiwan, Hong Kong, China, Thailand, Singapore, and Indo-
nesia. The principal purpose of the study mission was to assess bi-
lateral trade and investment issues, but specifically the study fo-
cused on the issue of unfair trade practices. Asia was chosen for
this study mission because the countries of .Asia account for one-
third of U.S. trade and for some of the largest U.S. bilateral trade
deficits. The study mission found a great diversity in levels of eco-
nomic development and in economic policies. The trade and foreign
investment regimes of the seven countries visited vary widely from
open, free enterprise economies to highly regulated, statist econo-
mies. The study mission also found that pressure from the United
States, in the form of tougher executive branch implementation of
U.S. trade policy coupled with the threat of more restrictive trade
legislation, has helped to induce some countries in the region to
reduce their protectionist and unfair trade practices. The commit-

lished under the title, "U.S. Trade Relations with Asia."
(~ U.S. Narcotics Control Efforts in the Caribbean.-In the fall of
1987 staff of the committee travelled to the Caribbean to assess the
effectiveness of U.S. narcotics control programs, the level of coop-
eration between the United States 'and host country agencies;
update the committee's information on current developments af-
fecting narcotics control efforts in the region, and identify possible
areas for improvement. The study mission visited the Bahamas, the
Turks and Caicos, the Dominican Republic, Curacao and Venezu-
ela. The report of the study mission was printed as a committee
print entitled, "U.S. Narcotics Control Efforts in the Caribbean."
I (tc) International Court of Justice.-In October of 1988, Abraham
D. Sofaer, Legal Adviser at the Department of State, provided
Members and staff of the committee with a classified briefing on
his negotiations with Soviet officials to submit certain types of dis-
putes between the United States and the Soviet Union to the Inter-
national Court of Justice for adjudication. Also attending the brief-
ing was the general counsel of the Senate Committee on the Judici-
ary.
(i) Task Force on Foreign Assistance.-At the beginning of the
second session of the 100th Congress, the committee established a
Task Force on Foreign Assistance, cochaired by Honorable Lee H.
Hamilton and Honorable-Benjamin A. Gilman, to undertake a com-
prehensive review of U.S. foreign assistance programs and policies.
The Task Force commenced its activities by identifying specific
issues to study and by sending letters to over 200 individuals and
organizations inviting their assessment. of U.S: foreign assistance.
The staff of the Task Force, composed of members of the full com-
mittee staff .plus two staff consultants detailed from the General
Accounting Office and the Agency for International Development
(AID), held extensive meetings with representatives from the exec-
utive branch (particularly AID and the Department of Defense)
and with various non-governmental groups. The Task Force re-
ceived various documents from the General Accounting Office and
the Congressional Research Service. The Task Force also held eight
meetings with Members and governmental and non-governmental
experts to discuss issues related to U.S. foreign assistance pro-
. grams. The Task Force expects to complete its review and report to
the Congress early in the first session of the 101st Congress.
In connection with the review effort, the Congressional Research

every case, however, the contributions come from funds appropri-
ated to the Department of State or to-the Agency appropriated to
the Department of State or to the Agency for International Devel-
opment. Since the committee authorizes funding for both those
agencies, these international organizations may be considered to
fall wholly or partially within the committee's jurisdiction as de-
scribed under Rule X.
