For three years while serving as a senior adviser to Rep. Henry A.
Waxman (D-CA), chairman of the House Committee on Energy and
Commerce-one of the most powerful committees in Congress-Bruce C.
Wolpe kept a diary, a senior staffer's look at how committees
develop and promote legislation. With its insider's view of the
rough-and-tumble politics of cap-and-trade, healthcare reform,
tobacco, oversight, and the debt ceiling agreement, The Committee
uniquely melds the art of politics and policymaking with the theory
and literature of political science. The authors engage with the
important questions that political science asks about committee
power, partisanship, and the strategies used to build winning
policy coalitions both in the Committee and on the floor of the
House. The insider politics and strategies about moving legislation
in Congress, from internal and external coalition building to a
chairman's role in framing policy narratives, will captivate both
novice and die-hard readers of politics.
