The Subcommittee on Separation of Powers is presently examining
executive-legislative relations in foreign affairs with special
emphasis on executive agreements. Because of the separation of
.powers.problems involved., the Subcommittee will hold hearings.,
April 17, 18, 19, and 20, 1972.
It has come to the attention of the Subcommittee that G-overrW ent
agencies routinely enter into executive agreements with foreign
states. It would be helpful to our study if you would provide
us with a list of all executive agreements, since World Wa .II,
in which your agency has participated, along with the purpose of
and authority for the agreements. Although it may be a large
undertaking, I would greatly appreciate receiving your report
by April 7, 1972, since it is necessary for the Subcommittee to
have this information by that date in order to study it before
the hear:1.ngn begin.
I thank you very much for your cooperation and assistance.
With all kind wishes, I am
Sincerely yours,
Subcommittee on Separation of Powers
Sem J. Ervin, Jr.
Chairman
