![["Harris Ellsworth, a member of the Committee on Rules in the 4th District of Oregon, introduced bill H.R. 6393 in the House of Representatives in 1952. The bill aims to ensure that any agreements made by the Executive branch with foreign states are treated as treaties and require Senate ratification. Ellsworth believes this is necessary to prevent evasion of the Constitution and restore proper powers to Congress. The bill addresses concerns about agreements being made without Congressional approval and aims to bring transparency to commitments made to foreign countries."]](https://jones-2.s3.amazonaws.com/George%20B.%20Schwabe%20Collection%20/82nd%20Congress,%201951-1953-CAC_CC_047_3_0000_0000_0000/CAC_CC_047_3_27_45_0000-Foreign%20Policy,%201951/Thumbnails/CAC_CC_047_3_27_45_0001_thumbnail.jpg "Restoring Congressional Power: H.R. 6393 and the Approval of Foreign Agreements")
