Politics in America 1996

An invaluable resource to the voting records, districts and biographies of each and every member of the United States House of Representatives and Senate, this book deserves a place on a shelf close at hand in the library of every researcher, lobbbyist or citizen who hopes to use the telephone or E-Mail to inform the appropriate members of concerns she/he may have about issues which come before Congress. Even though a new edition of the book comes out every two years in April of the odd-numbered years following the congressional elections, the old editions of the book are worth keeping as a resource and record of how a long-term member voted on an issue years before. In this way, the researcher reading this book can more accurately predict how a particular member is likely to vote on any issue currently before the Congress.
