      "title": "Peruvian Elections in 2000: Congressional Concerns and Policy Approaches",
      "summary": "In a vote that observers said did not meet minimum conditions for a free and fair election,\nPresident\nAlberto Fujimori of Peru won a third term on May 28. The United States urged sanctions, but the\nOAS sent a high-level mission to press Peru for democratic reforms instead. Corruption scandals and\nlessened support led Fujimori to agree to new elections in April 2001 and then, on November 20,\nto resign.\n The 106th Congress called for the review and modification of U.S. relations with Peru if\nelections were not judged free and fair by international observers, and then for the withholding of\naid if democratic progress was not made. Other concerns, particularly the curbing of illegal drug\ntrafficking and protecting security interests, affect how the United States responds to the situation\nin Peru. Options for Congress range from a cautious approach aimed at protecting security interests\nto applying greater pressure on the government of Peru to respect and develop democratic processes.",
