Description

This text draws on papers and comments presented, shortly after the inauguration of President Clinton, at a "Government in Gridlock" conference co-sponsored by Brookings and the committee in the Constitutional System. The contributors are present and former members of Congress and officials of the executive branch, Washington journalists, public opinion analysts, and political scientists. They discuss the possibilities for ending governmental gridlock now that the US executive and legislative branches are in the hands of the same political party for only the second time in close to a quarter century.
