      "title": "Foreign Relations Authorization, FY2004 and FY2005: State Department and Foreign Assistance",
      "summary": "The foreign  relations  authorization process dovetails with the annual appropriation\nprocess for the\nDepartment of State (within the Commerce, Justice, State and Related Agency appropriation) and\nforeign policy/foreign aid activities (within the foreign operations appropriation). Congress is\nrequired by law to authorize the spending of appropriations for the State Department and foreign\npolicy activities every two years. Foreign  assistance  authorization measures (such as\nauthorization\nfor the U.S. Agency for International Development, economic and military assistance to foreign\ncountries, and international population programs) have been merged into the State Department\nauthorization legislation since 1985. Since that time, Congress has not passed a stand-alone foreign\nassistance authorization bill. \n  Congressman Hyde introduced  H.R. 1950  on May 5, 2003. The House\nInternational Relations Committee reported the bill May 16 ( H.Rept. 108-105 , Part I). \n H.R. 1950 , as reported out by the Committee, contained authorization legislation for\nFY2004 and FY2005 and included a defense trade and security assistance title, as well as a foreign\nassistance title. As amended (July 15 and 16) and passed (July 16) by the House,  H.R. 1950  also includes the Millennium Challenge Account and Peace Corps provisions. The legislation\nauthorizes about $27 billion for FY2004 and FY2005. The House bill contains the Israeli-Palestinian\npeace plan, also known as the \"road map\" which goes beyond the President's plan by including\nconditions that must be met before the United States can agree to a Palestinian state. Also included\nare terrorist-related enforcement measures, munition and satellite export controls. Eliminated by\namendment was a provision providing $50 million in U.S. contributions to the U.N. Population Fund\nfor each year that the legislation covers. House floor action occurred on July 15th and 16th. The\nHouse passed the bill, as amended, by recorded vote (382-42) on July 16th.\n  The Senate originally reported three separate bills providing authority for only FY2004: a\nforeign relations authorization ( S. 925 ), a foreign assistance authorization bill\n( S. 1161 ) which includes arms export control and counter terrorism measures, and the\nMillennium Challenge Account ( S. 1160 ). After political differences with unrelated\nfloor amendments in 2003, the Senate gave up trying to vote on  S. 925  (within which\nthe other two bills had been merged). On February 27, 2004, Senator Lugar introduced the Senate's\nnew Foreign Relations Authorization Act, FY2005 ( S. 2144 ). The Senate Foreign\nRelations Committee reported it out on March 18, 2004 ( S.Rept. 108-248 ).",
