COMMITTEES

<font size="4" face="Times New Roman">Committees are important because they hold hearings that can affect public opinion; they are also an important gatekeeper in terms of legislation.  Note that Newt G altered the culture of congress by putting GOP members on many committees so they could take credit for any pork, but sent everyone home so that there was not time for comm members to know/trust each others in the comm or by living together in the same city (kids on little league together etc).

Staffers also key?
