Abstract
Evangelical educational efforts and support from a variety of religious leaders resulted in the passage of the International Religious Freedom Act in 1998. Congressman Frank Wolf's House bill calling for sanctions for religious persecutors met with strong resistance from the Clinton Administration, the business lobby, and the foreign policy establishment. A Senate bill focused on advancing religious freedom and gave the President more options for how to respond to violations. It also proposed theCommission on International Religious Freedom to serve as a bipartisan watchdog. Theinclusion of the Commission helped convince House bill backers to endorse the Senatebill.
