Gilmour, Robert S.

Opis

The editors synthesize ten case studies sponsored by the National Academy of Public Administration that relate stories of congressional intervention and suggest, in sum, a new theory of congressional-executive relations. Arguing that Congress cannot be dimissed as simply a troublesome meddler in agency programs or as an inattentive bystander in its oversight role, Gilmour and Halley draw from these case histories the surprising conclusion that Congress in facts acts regularly, with the executive branch, as a powerful co-manager of policy outlines and program details.
