Review
"Whiteman takes us inside the communication networks that lie at the heart of the lawmaking process. In doing so he moves beyond roll-call votes and even individual members, using congressional 'enterprises' as his unit of analysis. Firmly grounded in theory yet abounding in empirical detail drawn from interviews and observations, this book is essential reading."--Roger H. Davidson, coeditor of The Encyclopedia of the United States Congress "The best study I have read about communication in Congress or the role of congressional staff. A major contribution."--C. Lawrence Evans, author of Leadership in Congress "Recommended reading for all with a public policy interest."--William P. Browne, author of Cultivating Congress
