THE WAXMAN REPORT IS part compelling memoir, part fascinating, shrewd civics lesson and part bracing statement of practical idealism. It's impossible to put down and a joy to read--a model, in fact, of lucid exposition." "Henry Waxman is to Congress what Ted Williams was to baseball--a natural. As you read this nicely proportioned, fast-paced book, you realize that Waxman was born to be a member of the House, ideally the chairman of an important committee....THE WAXMAN REPORT explains how Congress ''can'' work, and it is fun to read. You finish it with gratitude to the voters of Beverly Hills and nearby areas who keep returning this ornery fellow to the House to challenge special interests. More Waxmans on both sides of the aisle would give us a much better Congress than the one we've got." First lineI was born in 1939 in the East Los Angeles neighborhood of Boyle Heights. Publisher's noteOne of America's most respected members of Congress describes the inner workings of Congress to explain how legislators and other elected officials can bring about changes in American politics and society and details his own important role in investigating waste, fraud, and abuse throughout every aspect and level of American politics and society. AnnotationNo matter which party is in control at any given time, Congressman Henry Waxman may be in the minority on one major point--he believes that legislation is still an art, and when it is done well it is a beautiful and effective thing.In THE WAXMAN REPORT, he explains how a bill can effectively be written and shepherded through committees until it is ready for a vote. He examines The Ryan White Act, The Clean Air Act, and laws on nutrition labeling, dietary supplements, and pesticides became law. Waxman has chaired the Committee on Oversight and Government Reform, which has held hearing on topics such as tobacco, fraud, and steroids in Major League Baseball. .
