Description
In Call to Order, Smith outlines how a fairly stable period of Congressional reform in the 1950s and the early 1960s erupted into a turbulent period of reform in the 1970s. Smith compares these changes to congressional reform in the 1980s, and the overall implications for congressional policymaking.
