From the rear cover

Ellen Greenberg sets the stage for both the House of Representatives and the Senate, explaining what the mace and hopper are, how the chambers are laid out, who the on-stage actors are and what they do. Her section on the jargon - the most common phrases used - goes far beyond mere description to show how our government operates. She also explains how business is done: what happens on a daily basis and during the weekly schedule and how a bill becomes a law - or doesn't. The House and Senate Explained includes a chapter on using the Internet to access information about the House, the Senate, and the White House, from getting around town to accessing proposed bills to sending e-mail to members of Congress. In addition, you'll learn how to be heard by your representatives and how to take a more active role in committee hearings. A listing of all congressional committees and subcommittees lets you know where your special concerns are being addressed.
