Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Operations of the Congress Testimony of House and Senate Leaders: Hearing Before the Joint Committee on the Organization of Congress, One Hundred Third Congress, First Session, January 26, 1993 The committee met, pursuant to call, at 11:15 a.m., in room 2172, Rayburn House Office Building, Hon. Lee H. Hamilton (co-chairman of the committee) presiding. Opening Statement Of Hon. Lee H. Hamilton, A U.S. Representative From The State Of Indiana Chairman Hamilton. The meeting of the Joint Committee on the Organization of the Congress will come to order. Today´s session is the first hearing to be conducted by the Joint Committee on the Organization of Congress. The purpose of the Joint Committee is to study the operations of Congress and to make recommendations for reform by the end of 1993. Most of us, I think, on this committee feel like we have an historic opportunity. Institutional reform is no panacea. No miracles should be expected. However, if this committee can proceed with the spirit of constructive bipartisanship, and I believe it can, there is much to be accomplished. Expectations for this committee are very high, and in a sense we are all on the spot. Over the next few months the Joint Committee will hold approximately two hearings each week on a wide range of reform issues. Today, the leadership of the House and Senate will provide testimony about the areas of Congress they believe are in need of reform. On Thursday, we will hear from the panel of distinguished former Members of Congress including former Representative James Jones and Bill Frenzel and former Senators William Proxmire and Warren Rudman. Next week, the Joint Committee will receive testimony from sitting Members of the House and Senate. After these introductory hearings, remaining hearings will be structured around specific reform topics. First will be Congressional ethics and institutional integrity. The second will be budget process reform. The leaders of the Joint Committee hope that the recommendations of this panel will be available for consideration by the relevant standing committees of the House and Senate by early August. So we have an ambitious agenda. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
