      abstract = {This text drives students through one piece of  legislation--the surface transportation bill--showing the  maneuvering and negotiating that go on among members of  Congress and their staffers as they haggle over a huge pot  of money. The bill provides an example of both sides of the  domestic legislative coin, as members of Congress  formulating the bill fight over both policy issues (mostly  along party lines) and money (mostly along regional lines).  While working on the Hill, the authors were able to follow  the path of this legislation from inception to law,  observing firsthand the twists and turns of its journey. In  recounting that journey, this book also explains the  various rules that structure legislation, the leadership  styles and strategies at play, the tensions among levels of  government, and the impact of the executive.},
