CFE Treaty: Senate Committee on Foreign Relations Hearing, July 11, 1991 I will take whatever steps are necessary to ensure that the anomaly will be corrected and that the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, as the committee of jurisdiction over these treaties, receives on a regular basis all information relative to these treaties that the executive branch is sharing with any other entities. Secretary, if this administration expects to work closely with the committee of jurisdiction on arms control matters that the administration share with this committee the same information that is being conveyed on a routine basis to other entities in the Senate. Careful attention by the administration to the concerns of this committee and the Senate as a whole, and close consultation with high administration officials, such as that represented by the Secretary's appearance today, are critical if we are to reach a successful conclusion to our deliberations. www.defenselink.mil /acq/acic/treaties/cfe/congress/rattest2.htm   (13304 words)

Text: Powell Opening Statement before Senate Foreign Relations Committee [Free Republic] Chairman, members of the committee, I am honored to have been nominated by President-elect George W. Bush to be America's 65th Secretary of State, and to be here seeking your approval and the approval of the full Senate of that nomination.

Divided Panel Sends Bolton Nomination To Full Senate A bitterly divided Senate Foreign Relations Committee voted along party lines yesterday to send the nomination of John R. Bolton to become U.N. ambassador to the full Senate without any endorsement. The Foreign Relations Committee last sent a nomination to the floor without a recommendation when it deadlocked in 1993 on the nomination of M. Larry Lawrence, a wealthy San Diego developer, to be ambassador to Switzerland. In that case, the committee reported him to the Senate floor unfavorably by a vote of 14 to 3, but he was confirmed by a GOP-controlled Senate 57 to 42. www.washingtonpost.com /wp-dyn/content/article/2005/05/12/AR2005051201487.html?referrer=email   (1233 words)

Opening Statement Senator Richard G. Lugar Senate Committee on Foreign Relations Given that our Committee has many new members and that State Department responsibilities are expanding, I believe it is wise to retain the opportunity for the Foreign Relations Committee to revisit this budget next year after we have had some time to perform oversight. In particular, Senator Biden and I have agreed to remove all foreign assistance funding and requests for foreign assistance authorities from consideration in the State Department bill. We have written a Committee mark from which we will be working that is different from the State Department's submission. lugar.senate.gov /pressapp/record.cfm?id=203452   (850 words)

CHEMICAL WEAPONS CONVENTION SENATE FOREIGN RELATIONS COMMITTEE APRIL 1997 As a former member of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee for 16 years who strongly supported President Reagan's efforts to negotiate this treaty, President Bush's efforts to complete it, and President Clinton's efforts to ratify it, I can attest to the strong bipartisan support for this convention over the years. During the 6 years that I chaired the U.S. Senate Intelligence Committee, time and time again our intelligence experts came before our committee to warn us that the greatest threat to our national security and to the next generation is the spread of weapons of mass destruction, including chemical weapons. While to a foreign observer our internal debate may seem confusing, it is in fact the essential ingredient to forging a consensus. www.fas.org /nuke/control/cwc/news/sfrc/appendix.htm   (11299 words)

Transcript of Senate Foreign Relations Committee Hearing, October 6, 1999 Chairman Helms, Senator Coverdell, distinguished members of the committee, your interest in all aspects of drug control policy and your commitment to bipartisan support of a comprehensive response to the nation's drug abuse problem are much appreciated. Chairman, and our colleagues, and our witness here, members of the committee, Paul, and others, the deep admiration I have for people who are going through an incredible struggle, and for us to find a constructive way in which we can be of real help to them I think is absolutely critical. If we look at the American foreign policy and look at the issues that we face today, I do not know that there is anything more important, frankly, than what is occurring in this hemisphere, and the most important and troubling thing that is occurring in this hemisphere occurs in Colombia. www.ciponline.org /colombia/100601.htm   (13341 words)
