Congressional investigations and oversight

Congressional Investigations and Oversight examines the legal and policy issues surrounding congressional investigations through a series of case studies, with an emphasis on the period from the second half of the twentieth century to date. The central thesis and organizing principle of this book is to highlight the importance of effective congressional oversight and investigative activities in our American system of government. In addition to collecting legal authorities, the book includes relevant historical information and structural analysis of government functions, with an emphasis on separation of powers issues. The case study format presents the subject matter in a way that is accessible to students of government, history, and political science, as well as law students and practicing lawyers. --Book Jacket.
