Title: IRAQ: U.S. POLICY OPTIONS
Authors: Kenneth Katzman, Foreign Affairs and National Defense Division 
Abstract: In the face of repeated crises with Iraq over U.N. access to potential weapons production sites, U.S. policy toward Iraq faces a number of conflicting cross-currents. Many in Congress believe the crisis demonstrates that the long-term threat from Iraq can be eased only by removing Saddam Hussein from power. The Administration wants that outcome, but believes that achieving it would be difficult, and the U.S. policy should focus primarily on containing any threat from Iraq.
