Authors: Curt Tarnoff, Foreign Affairs, Defense, and Trade Division 
Abstract: The future of the 12 successor states of the former Soviet Union is a major concern of U.S. foreign policy and congressional attention, and the U.S. assistance program has been a major tool for influencing the direction of that region. This report provides a chronological history of U.S. assistance to the Soviet Union and the New Independent States to the end of 2001, focusing on administration and congressional actions--proposals, policy pronouncements, debate, and legislation.
