‘The Evolving Congress,’’ which was prepared by the Congressional Research Service.
This compendium of 22 reports was written by staff of the Government and Finance Division during the CRS centennial year. It is a fitting contribution by the Service whose mission is not only to analyze the domestic and international issues that impact the legislative agenda but also to advise on the future organization and operations of Congress and the institution’s policymaking process.
The goal of this project is to inform the legislative debate moving forward by examining how and why Congress evolved over the previous decades to where it is today. In addition to the analysts and information professionals who prepared the various pieces that make up ‘‘The Evolving Congress,’’
the project was coordinated and reviewed by Government and Finance Division staff, including Pamela Jackson, Walter J. Oleszek, John Haskell, Michael L. Koempel, Matthew E. Glassman, James Saturno, and Robert Jay Dilger.
I trust the committee will find the study thought provoking and valuable as you consider issues of
congressional operations. It should also serve the wider audience of congressional scholars and all those interested in the history and processes of the First Branch.
