(Redirected from U.S. House Committee on International Relations)
The 'U.S. House Committee on Foreign Affairs', also known as the 'House Foreign Affairs Committee', is a standing committee of the United States House of Representatives which is in charge of bills and investigations related to the foreign affairs of the United States. It is currently chaired by representative Tom Lantos of California. It is less powerful than its Senate counterpart, the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, because the House committee is not involved in treaty or ambassador confirmation.
In January 2007, the Committee reverted from its 1995-2007 name, 'Committee on International Relations', as the new title (first used in 1822) is more formal and reflective of its Senate counterpart.[1] Jurisdiction remains the same.
