MAY 2 (legislative day, MAY 1), 1995.-Ordered to be printed
Mr. HELMS, from the Committee on Foreign Relations,
submitted the following
REPORT
[To accompany Treaty Doc. 104-3]
The Committee on Foreign Relations, to which was referred the
Extradition Treaty Between the Government of the United States
of America and the Government of the Hashemite Kingdom of Jor-
dan, signed at Washington on March 28, 1995, having considered
the same, reports favorably thereon without amendment and rec-
ommends that the Senate give its advice and consent to ratification
thereof.
PURPOSE
The Extradition Treaty Between the Government of the United
States of America and the Government of the Hashemite Kingdom
of Jordan, hereinafter The Treaty, identifies the offenses for
which extradition will be granted, establishes procedures to be fol-
lowed in presenting extradition requests, enumerates exceptions to
the duty to extradite, specifies the evidence required to support a
finding of a duty to extradite, and sets forth administrative provi-
sions for bearing costs and legal representation.
BACKGROUND
On March 28, 1995, the United States signed a treaty on extra-
dition with the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan. It was transmitted
by the President to the Senate for advice and consent to ratification
on April 24, 1995, and will become the first to enter into force with
Jordan if ratified. Ratification of this Treaty is seen as a step for-
ward in the efforts of the United States to win the cooperation of
countries in the Middle East in combatting crimes such as
transnational terrorism and international drug trafficking.
