The 110th Congress is starting its activity today. It will start with
the oath ceremony of Senators and members of the House of
Representatives. Congressmen will officially elect Nancy Pelosi known
for her pro-Armenian position as new Speaker of the House of
Representatives. She will be the first woman to hold this post.

Congressmen intend to strengthen the control over the policy of Bush
Administration towards Russia. RIA Novosti was told at the Secretariat
of the Hose of Representatives that this kind of prediction was made
in a 76-page-long analytical report on the suggestions of the
`Democratic’ Congress. The report titled `The core issues of the 110th
Congress’ has been prepared by foreign affairs, defense and trade
analytical services. It is noted in the report that during the past
two years Russian-American relations have taken a negative route. It
also provides the assessment of the successful Russian-American
cooperation, as well as the circle of issues on which the stances of
the parties differ.

As an example of successful cooperation is noted the fight against
corruption and the partnership in the energy sphere.
