Message from the Chairman:
          Welcome to the Senate Foreign Relations Committee website.
Our Committee is responsible for the foreign policy activities
of the U.S. Senate. We evaluate all treaties with foreign governments;
approve all diplomatic nominations; and write legislation pertaining
to U.S. foreign policy, the State Department, Foreign Assistance
programs, and many associated topics. I hope that you find this
website to be a valuable resource in following our activities
and understanding the role of the Senate in foreign policy.

          Sincerely,

          Dick Lugar
