Abstract: The Constitutional division of responsibility between the President and Congress for making foreign policy is the first of eight topics discussed in this magazine-style booklet. Major constitutional powers of Congress in foreign policy include the "power of the purse", and the power "to declare war". Major foreign policy powers of the President are serving as commander in chief of the army and navy, and making treaties with the advice and consent of the Senate. Treaty making was deliberately made cumbersome by the makers of the Constitution so alliances could not be entered into lightly. The second issue, "Defense and the Federal Deficit," is analyzed from the aspect of whether the United States can adequately defend itself with the across-the-board budget cuts under the Gramm-Rudman-Hollings bill. Issue three discusses how the status of relations with Egypt depends on whether the United States and Egypt can agree on policies concerning aid, the peace process in the Middle East, military cooperation, and terrorism. The challenge to the U.S. primacy in the Pacific Basin by the Soviet Union is discussed in issue four. The effect of a lower U.S. business profile and economic sanctions on the government of President P.W. Botha is analyzed in issue five on South Africa. In issue six, the topic of foreign investment in the U.S. is discussed. While U.S. cities welcome this investment, many citizens feel foreign ownership of U.S. businesses, banks, and real estate is out of control. Issues seven and eight deal with the invasion of Afghanistan and revolutions in Iran, Nicaragua, and the Philippines respectively. Numerous black and white photographs, cartoons, and other graphics as well as a fold-out map of the world are included. (SM)
