The Book “The US Congress; A Very Short Introduction” is up on BARD. I am
planning to suggest that our Washington Seminar delegation members read it
so that we have a better understanding of the intricacies of congress. I
thought I would mention it in case anyone else wants to use it as a
resource. It might be especially good with new members to our delegations.
Although I have to admit that some of our veterans might benefit as well.



Hope this info is helpful.
