LETTER OF TRANSMITTAL 

To the Senate of the United States: 

I transmit herewith, for the advice and consent of the Senate to 

ratification, the Extradition Treaty between the Government of the 

United States of America and the Government of the Republic of 

Chile (the ‘‘Treaty’’), signed at Washington on June 5, 2013. I also 

transmit, for the information of the Senate, the report of the Department of State with respect to the Treaty. 

The Treaty would replace the outdated extradition treaty between the United States and Chile, signed at Santiago on April 17, 

1900 (the ‘‘1900 Treaty’’). The Treaty follows generally the form 

and content of other extradition treaties recently concluded by the 

United States. It would replace an outmoded list of extraditable offenses with a modern ‘‘dual criminality’’ approach, which would enable extradition for such offenses as money laundering and other 

newer offenses not appearing on the list from the 1900 Treaty. The 

Treaty also contains a modernized ‘‘political offense’’ clause and 

provides that extradition shall not be refused based on the nationality of the person sought. Finally, the Treaty incorporates a series 

of procedural improvements to streamline and speed the extradition process. 

I recommend that the Senate give early and favorable consideration to the Treaty and give its advice and consent to its ratification. 

BARACK OBAMA.

LETTER OF SUBMITTAL 

DEPARTMENT OF STATE, 

Washington, March 10, 2014. 

The PRESIDENT, 

The White House. 

DEAR MR. PRESIDENT: I have the honor to submit to you the Extradition Treaty between the Government of the United States of 

America and the Government of the Republic of Chile (‘‘Treaty’’), 

signed at Washington, on June 5, 2013. Upon its entry into force, 

the Treaty would replace the Treaty between the United States of 

America and the Republic of Chile providing for the extradition of 

fugitives from justice, signed at Santiago on April 17, 1900 (‘‘1900 

Treaty’’). I recommend that the Treaty be transmitted to the Senate for its advice and consent to ratification. 

The Treaty follows generally the form and content of other extradition treaties recently concluded by the United States. It is an important part of a concerted effort by the Department of State and 

the Department of Justice to modernize the legal tools available for 

the extradition of serious offenders. The Treaty is self-executing. It 

will not require implementing legislation. 

An overview of the Treaty, including a detailed article-by-article 

analysis, is enclosed with this report. The Department of Justice 

joins the Department of State in favoring approval of the Treaty by 

the Senate at the earliest possible date. 

Respectfully submitted, 

JOHN F. KERRY. 

Enclosures: As stated.
