Using the Committee on Ways and Means for a case study, Strahan assesses
the far-reaching effects of internal reform efforts in the House of
Representatives in the 1970s. Responsible for reviewing tax, trade, and
social welfare legislation, the committee became an epicenter of the
upheavals that rocked the House. The author focuses on the role of the
committee in the unexpected breakthrough on comprehensive tax reform and
emphasizes the importance of leadership on the postreform committee.
