Loglienar models

Hello,

    I'm planning to start using R.  Before getting into it, I'd like to 
ask a couple of questions.  Does R carry out loglinear model analysis? 
 That is, will it provide the chi-squared goodness of fit test statistic 
for a given hierarchical loglinear model?  Maybe even do a model 
selection procedure (like Brown's two-step procedure, or 
forward/backward selection)?  Thanks for your help.
