How to Ease Gridlock in Congress

from The Seminary Explores Hosted by United Lutheran Seminary

Mr. Reed, a former congressional aid to Senator William Proxmire of Wisconsin, recommends the restoration of four procedures in the House of Representatives that were discarded under House Speakers Newt Gingrich and Dennis Hastert, beginning in 1994. 1) Restore power to committees and chairs rather than three or four majority leaders. 2) Introduce legislation by a regular process of information gathering and discussion rather than in secret. 3) Include minority participation in these proceedings. 4) Make a good-faith effort to get bi-partisan support.
