US Policy Toward Putin's Russia

Amid excited political rhetoric over a possible Russian Conspiracy in the 2016 presidential election campaign, Congress sought frank answers: what should America's stance be toward Russia? This monograph presents a transcript of a lively US House of Representatives committee hearing from June 2016. Congress is often called a "deliberative body." That's only part true when it comes to US policy toward Russia. Here you'll see everything from cool-headed presentation of facts, to one member so worked up that he appeared to be on the verge of a medical emergency. This monograph is part of the "Russia: Straight Talk on Hushed issues" series. It is dedicated to advancing the concept of a safe, sustaining, and positive relationship between the United States and the Russian Federation.
