CRS Issue Statement on Nuclear Weapons: U.S. Posture and Programs and Arms Control [January 6, 2010]
This issue statement discusses counter-proliferation/nonproliferation in the United States. From the text: "President Obama outlined his Administration's priorities and goals for U.S. nuclear weapons and arms control policy in a speech in Prague, in April 2009. The President stated that 'the existence of thousands of nuclear weapons is the most dangerous legacy of the Cold War' and that America was committed to seeking 'the peace and security of a world without nuclear weapons.' He recognized that this goal would not be reached quickly, but he pledged that the United States would 'reduce the role of nuclear weapons in our national security strategy, and urge others to do the same.' At the same time, he indicated that 'as long as these weapons exist, the United States will maintain a safe, secure and effective arsenal to deter any adversary, and guarantee that defense to our allies.'"

U.S. Armed Forces Abroad: Selected Congressional Votes Since 1982 [Updated January 23, 2019]
"This report summarizes selected congressional roll call votes related to instances in which U.S. Armed Forces have been sent abroad in potentially hostile situations. These votes reflect the type of congressional actions that observers maintain bear directly on issues affecting policy and the funding of troops abroad, often in the context of the War Powers Resolution, continued presence or withdrawal of troops, and the 'use of force.' The cases of Lebanon (1982-1983), Grenada (1983), Panama (1989), the Persian Gulf War (1990-1991), Somalia (1992-1995), Haiti (1993- 1996), Bosnia (1992-1998), Kosovo (1999), the terrorist attack against the United States (2001) (including the use of U.S. Armed Forces in Afghanistan), and the use of U.S. Armed Forces against Iraq (2002-2003) and Iraq and Afghanistan (2001-Present) are examined, as are the revolution in Libya and its aftermath, the uprising and war in Syria, and military action against the self-proclaimed Islamic State (IS a.k.a, ISIS/ISIL)."
