The U.S. House Foreign Affairs Subcommittee on Terrorism, Nonproliferation, and Trade was a standing subcommittee within the House Foreign Affairs Committee.
Jurisdiction
The subcommittee was one of two primary subcommittees with what the committee calls "functional jurisdiction", the other being the Oversight and Investigations Subcommittee. The Africa, Global Health, and Human Rights Subcommittee also enjoyed functional jurisdiction, but was primarily a "regional subcommittee". According to the committee rules, the Terrorism Subcommittee had "oversight and legislative responsibilities over the United States’ efforts to manage and coordinate international programs to combat terrorism". It also had oversight over nonproliferation matters involving nuclear, chemical, and biological weapons, as well as weapons of mass destruction in general. It also oversaw international economic and trade policy; commerce with foreign countries; international investment policy. Agencies and organizations within its jurisdiction included the Overseas Private Investment Corporation, the U.S. Trade and Development Agency, and the Export-Import Bank.
