This book should be of interest to undergraduates in American politics.

This edition provides an in-depth analysis of the evolution and current state of committees within the House and Senate, emphasizing their critical role in the national legislature. It updates previous discussions on the "post-reform" committee systems and examines the impact of Republican reforms, including the "Contract with America." The book offers a thorough exploration of the rules, structural changes, and the dynamics of committee power and influence, particularly in the context of inter-party conflicts on Capitol Hill.
