The article discusses the legislative actions and achievements of the 112th U.S. Congress in 2012. In 2012, the Congress reauthorized surface transportation, flood insurance, defense and federal aviation programs. Lawmakers also established normal trade relations with Russia and toughened sanctions on Iran. However, the Congress failed to reauthorize federal farm assistance programs and also failed to overhaul the Postal Service.
