Advisory commissions have become a crucial part of the American legislative way of life, yet the relevant literature is both sparse and unsatisfying. Campbell not only supplies useful information about important cases, but also provides a framework for understanding congressional delegation to commissions. He transcends the common focus on the reelection motive to examine information needs and workload considerations as a motivation for legislative behavior.

Providing a comprehensive examination of the origins, development, and current status of committees and committee systems in both the House and Senate, this edition carries on the book’s tradition of comprehensive coverage, empirical richness, and theoretical relevance in its discussion of these essential and distinguishing features of our national legislature. While the last edition focused on the "post-reform" committee systems, addressed the shifts in the internal distribution of power, and hinted at the forces that had already begun to undermine the power of committee

The dramatic events of the Pearl Harbor attack have been covered in detail from a wide variety of approaches. What came next—the American declaration of war, the intervention of Germany and Italy and the U.S. proclaiming war against them as well—has been given considerably less attention. This detailed volume fills that gap with careful analysis of how the public and Congress reacted to the attack and how it began to modify their past attitudes toward foreign war. Excerpts from the Congressional Record of 1941 support the author’s discussion of the debates leading to the decision to
