TITLE: INEWS CONGRESSIONAL OPERATIONS HANDBOOK
REQUIRES: DOS, VGA
DISTRIBUTION: FREEWARE
AUTHOR: INEWS 
PUBLISHER: BAC Marketing

DESCRIPTION:

  INEWS Congressional Operations Handbook is intended to provide 
a readable and nontechnical outline of the background and the 
numerous steps of our Federal lawmaking process from the origin 
of an idea for a legislative proposal through its publication as 
a statute. 

  This is a matter about which every citizen should be 
well informed so as to be able to understand the everyday 
news reports and discussions concerning the work of Congress.

  It is hoped that this handbook will enable every citizen to 
gain a greater understanding of the Federal legislative 
process and its role as one of the bulwarks of our 
representative system. One of the most practical safeguards 
of the American democratic way of life is this legislative 
process that, with its emphasis on the protection of the 
minority, gives ample opportunity to all sides to be heard 
and make their views known. The fact that a proposal cannot 
become a law without consideration and approval by both 
Houses of Congress is an outstanding virtue of our 
legislative system. Open and full discussion provided for 
under our Constitution frequently results in the notable 
improvement of a bill by amendment before it becomes law, or 
the defeat of a bad  proposal.

 Because the large majority of laws originate in the House of 
Representatives, this discussion will be directed principally 
to the procedure in that body.
