The International Organizations, Human Rights, and Oversight Subcommittee of the House Foreign Affairs Committee held a hearing titled "The November 26 Declaration of Principles: Implications for U.N. Resolutions on Iraq and for Congressional Oversight." Witnesses testified about the nature of the long-term relationship with Iraq proposed by the administration. Topics included whether such an agreement was a status of forces agreement or a defense treaty that would require congressional approval.

The subcommittee will also hear additional testimony from a military expert on status of forces agreement and from lawyers who are experts on international agreements and the approval process, within both the executive and the Congress, for various types of such agreements.
