  Update on Congress: The 100th Congress Adjourns
The bill, which was approved by Congress just minutes before October 1, the first day of the new fiscal year, and not signed into law by President Reagan until well into the next morning, served as the vehicle for a number of measures designed to benefit Israel.
In addition, Congress extended for yet another year a provision empowering Israel to spend a sizable portion of its military aid to bolster the country's domestic defense industry.
In addition, now that the precedent has been established, the provision is unlikely ever to be revoked; in fact, it is likely that pro-Israel congressmen will seek to broaden its application in the years to come—effectively increasing US aid to Israel without raising the official aid figure of $3 billion.

 Correspondence of Interest Concerning USFSPA Reform   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-25)
We urge the 110th Congress to follow the 109th Congress recent example by calling on the Pentagon to train and equip all personnel in its charge to recognize and avoid the USFSPA marital minefield and restore equity in their marital relationships, by adopting the guidelines established for their civilian federal public sector compatriots.
Congress and the Pentagon should shake off the 'fem fear' which has paralyzed them to date and restore fairness and equity to the military divorce process.
Then, noting that Congress had never addressed the recommendations of a 2001 DoD report of a congressionally mandated review of the USFSPA, I suggested that, at least, a hearing on USFSPA reform be held this year as a prelude to the consideration of H.R. 1111 during the second session of the 108th Congress.

 The strategy of rhetoric : campaigning for the American constitution
In the 100th Congress the constituent median family income of Congress members participating in the hearings was $90 less than the average for constituents of the entire House.
While in the 100th Congress behavioral frame words were something that Democrats avoided, in the 103rd Congress their average levels of behavioral frame words were not statistically significantly different from those of the Republicans (69.9 vs. 78 per 10,000 respectively).
Between the 100th and 103rd Congresses, a shift in favor of a behavioral discourse as the expense of a human capital and structural framings occurred which was large and statistically significant.

 Commentary: Immigration and the 110th Congress - November 13, 2006
Congress will be sworn in and new leaders will be chosen to run committees which focus on immigration legislation.
to be their number one issue, the GOP expectation that enough anti-immigrant voters would be energized on this issue to block massive losses in Congress and in state and local races did not materialize.
There is a possibility that Congress could take up at least some immigration legislation in the "lame duck" session that will start next Monday and go on for a few weeks after that.

 Garvey Schubert Barer | Resource Center
Congress passed a law that enhances the attractiveness of arbitration as a procedure for resolving contract disputes between private parties and foreign states or government agencies.
S. 2204 makes it easier for a private party to enforce an arbitration award against a foreign state by excluding a defense based on either sovereign immunity or the act of state doctrine.
However, the legislative history indicates that Congress expected arbitration awards to be executed against the commercial property of foreign states under ยงยง1605(a)(1) and 1610(a)(1) of the Act.

 B-288581, Commodity Futures Trading Commission, November 19, 2001
For example, the second session of the 100th Congress expired on October 22, 1988, pursuant to the concurrent resolution adjourning the Congress sine die: “Resolved by the House of Representatives (the Senate concurring), That when the House and Senate adjourn on Saturday, October 22, 1988, they stand adjourned sine die.” H.R. Con.
One is to conclude that the holdover term expires upon the date the Congress adjourns sine die, despite the inclusion of recall authority in the concurrent resolution.
We conclude, therefore, that the better interpretation of the phrase, “expiration of the next session of Congress,” when viewed in the context of an adjournment sine die with recall authority, is the date of adjournment sine die that Congress specified in the concurrent resolution.
