Sec. 112a. United States Treaties and Other International

Agreements; contents; admissibility in evidence

-STATUTE-

(a) The Secretary of State shall cause to be compiled, edited,

indexed, and published, beginning as of January 1, 1950, a

compilation entitled ''United States Treaties and Other

International Agreements,'' which shall contain all treaties to

which the United States is a party that have been proclaimed during

each calendar year, and all international agreements other than

treaties to which the United States is a party that have been

signed, proclaimed, or with reference to which any other final

formality has been executed, during each calendar year. The said

United States Treaties and Other International Agreements shall be

legal evidence of the treaties, international agreements other than

treaties, and proclamations by the President of such treaties and

agreements, therein contained, in all the courts of the United

States, the several States, and the Territories and insular

possessions of the United States.

(b) The Secretary of State may determine that publication of

certain categories of agreements is not required, if the following

criteria are met:

(1) such agreements are not treaties which have been brought

into force for the United States after having received Senate

advice and consent pursuant to section 2(2) of Article II of the

Constitution of the United States;

(2) the public interest in such agreements is insufficient to

justify their publication, because (A) as of the date of

enactment of the Foreign Relations Authorization Act, Fiscal

Years 1994 and 1995, the agreements are no longer in force,

(FOOTNOTE 1) (B) the agreements do not create private rights or

duties, or establish standards intended to govern government

action in the treatment of private individuals; (C) in view of

the limited or specialized nature of the public interest in such

agreements, such interest can adequately be satisfied by an

alternative means; or (D) the public disclosure of the text of

the agreement would, in the opinion of the President, be

prejudicial to the national security of the United States; and

(FOOTNOTE 1) So in original. The comma probably should be a

semicolon.

(3) copies of such agreements (other than those in paragraph

(2)(D)), including certified copies where necessary for

litigation or similar purposes, will be made available by the

Department of State upon request.

(c) Any determination pursuant to subsection (b) shall be

published in the Federal Register.

Sec. 112b. United States international agreements; transmission to

Congress

-STATUTE-

(a) The Secretary of State shall transmit to the Congress the

text of any international agreement (including the text of any oral

international agreement, which agreement shall be reduced to

writing), other than a treaty, to which the United States is a

party as soon as practicable after such agreement has entered into

force with respect to the United States but in no event later than

sixty days thereafter. However, any such agreement the immediate

public disclosure of which would, in the opinion of the President,

be prejudicial to the national security of the United States shall

not be so transmitted to the Congress but shall be transmitted to

the Committee on Foreign Relations of the Senate and the Committee

on Foreign Affairs of the House of Representatives under an

appropriate injunction of secrecy to be removed only upon due

notice from the President. Any department or agency of the United

States Government which enters into any international agreement on

behalf of the United States shall transmit to the Department of

State the text of such agreement not later than twenty days after

such agreement has been signed.

(b) Not later than March 1, 1979, and at yearly intervals

thereafter, the President shall, under his own signature, transmit

to the Speaker of the House of Representatives and the chairman of

the Committee on Foreign Relations of the Senate a report with

respect to each international agreement which, during the preceding

year, was transmitted to the Congress after the expiration of the

60-day period referred to in the first sentence of subsection (a),

describing fully and completely the reasons for the late

transmittal.

(c) Notwithstanding any other provision of law, an international

agreement may not be signed or otherwise concluded on behalf of the

United States without prior consultation with the Secretary of

State. Such consultation may encompass a class of agreements rather

than a particular agreement.

(d) The Secretary of State shall determine for and within the

executive branch whether an arrangement constitutes an

international agreement within the meaning of this section.

(e) The President shall, through the Secretary of State,

promulgate such rules and regulations as may be necessary to carry

out this section.
