Conflict And Compromise: How Congress Makes The Law

by Ronald D. Elving

Overview

The political editor of The Congressional Quarterly looks at how a bill becomes law—both on the open floors of Congress and behind closed doors.

Using the Family and Medical Leave Act of 1993 as his focus, Ronald D. Elving shows how the bill was gradually expanded to draw support from both parties.
