Presidential Decision Making describes two organizational
challenges the President faces - the interrelatedness of the issues
he is expected to address and the fragmented structure of the
executive departments and offices he presides over. The dynamics
and problems of the Presidency are illuminated in this inside
account of decision making in the White House. Newly elected
presidents invariably proclaim their commitment to an enlarged role
for cabinet, department, and agency heads but often abandon the
effort after a few months in office. The Economic Policy Board, a
cabinet-level body established shortly after Gerald Ford became
President, was one of the most systematic and sustained attempts to
organize advice for the President in recent decades. This book
examines in detail the Board's deliberations over three
controversial policy issues: the 1975 State of the Union tax
proposals, the U.S.-U.S.S.R. Grain Agreement, and the 1976 footwear
import decision. In evaluating these decisions and assessing the
Board, which Gerald Ford called 'the most important institutional
innovation of my administration', the author draws on scores of
interviews with cabinet officials and career civil servants. The
author proposes methods for organizing the decision-making process
in the White House and for structuring the cabinet-level
committees.
