The 100th Congress willl face a number of pressing foreign affairs, defense, and trade issues in the opening days of its tenure. This report identifies major issres most summarizes some of the major alternatives that Congress may consider. The report lists Congressional Research Service reports that address these issuesm and it identifies key analysts and their areas of responsibility.
A major issue confronting the new Congress is what to do in iraq. The baker/Hamilton-led Iraq Study Group recommended pursuing a new diplomatic security forces the primary U.S. military mission. The commission concluded thet the United states "could"aim to withdraw all U.S combat brigades not necessary for force protection by the first quarter of 2008. Congress faces an evalution of these recommendations and a decision as to waht its role should be in implenmenting these or other new policies. Supplemental appropriations for Iraq and Afghanistan may be the initial vehicle for debate over a new course in Iraq.
U.S and allied progress in Afghanistan may also be among the key issues in the 110th Congress alnong with international counter-terrorism, proliferation of weapons of mass destruction, regional geoplitical dynamics, and trade developments. China's rise is reshaping global ecconomic relations and is affecting security dynamics in Asia and around the glove. he ongoing fight against terrorism, paricularly in the Afghanistan-Pakistan border region, and efforts to dissuade or restrain iran and North Korea form pursuing nuclear weapons programs are key issues for consideration, as is the Israel-Plalesinian conflict.
Defence spending, and particularly budgeting for operations in Iraq and Afghanistan, will also be one of the major issues facing the 110th Congress. Congress may be asked to consider large increases in funding for the Army, and it faces a potentially difficult tradeoff between increases in the size of the Army and funding for major weapons programs. Other defense issues include the implementation of fecent base closure plans, the status of intelligence reform, pay and benefits of military personnel, and the role and structure of National Guard and Reserve forces.
Trade issue have becomme increasingly controversial in recent years, and may well frmain so as many Members grapple with the real and perceived effects of globalization. Many Members have concerns about instances of lost jobs and lower wages, the growing income gap in the United States, and about burgeoning U.S. trade dificits. Debate over trade ploicy could be launched with the scheduled expiration on July 1, 2007, of the Tade Promotion Authority(TPA). TPA is the authority that Congress has delehated to the Presidens to necotiate reciprocal trade agreeemenst that recive expedited congressional consideration. Congress's decisision on TPA will have major implications for pending negotiations, and for U.S. participation in the Doha Development Agenda(DDA)negotiations in the Word Trade Organization(WTO).
