|a "Over the last four decades Congress as an institution has been steadily dis-investing in its own internal organizational resources. Member offices and committees have made do with fewer, and less experienced and expert, staff than they used to employ. It has failed to conduct vigorous investigations and oversight; members spend more of their time raising money than studying policy. It cannot effectively legislate or check and balance an executive branch to which it has delegated so much power without institutional resources. By all accounts, the capacity of Congress is in sorry shape. At the same time, demands on Congress have increased markedly as the scope of government has expanded. In this book the authors describe the institutional decline in Congress, discuss the reasons for the decline, and offer solutions"--
