Ideal for both specific research and general reading, the articles provide up-to-date reporting and analyses of current issues and controversies.

The appendix offers useful, easy-to-understand explanations of the legislative and budget process, a reader-friendly description of how a bill becomes a law, a glossary of legislative terms, and a section on Internet sources of information about Congress. A detailed index helps speed research.

Whether searching for answers to specific questions or just browsing, students, scholars, researchers, and general readers will find the Guide to Current American Government an indispensable resource.
