Congressional Committees
Authorizing Committees
The Committee on Foreign Relations in the Senate and the Committee on Foreign Affairs in the House have jurisdiction over non-military U.S. international broadcasting. Every other year, these Committees consider authorization bills that provide budget ceilings for our broadcasting efforts, provide for changes in administrative authorities, and provide policy direction. The Senate Foreign Relations Committee considers nominations for USAGM Presidential appointments.
