To do so, USISC works in close collaboration with Federal bodies such as:
- Members of Armed Services Committee
- House Committee on Foreign Affairs
- United States Senate Committee on Armed Services
In 2004, the then Senators founded the Senate India Caucus as a bipartisan coalition and forum for legislators to work closely with Indian government officials and Indian-Americans in promoting US-India bilateral relations and to candidly discuss issues of common interest. The need for stronger US-India relations became apparent as global Cold War frictions eased and new, strategic partnerships and alliances commanded renewed significance. Strengthening this relationship remains highly critical to US interests. In recent years, the United States, the world's oldest democracy, and India, the world's largest democracy, have shared a common commitment to freedom, representative government, free market principles, and winning the global war on terror. .
