The Almanac of the Unelected 2005: Staff of the U.S. Congress Book

Even those of us with the best and longest memories may have trouble reciting the names of all the counsels of all the committees in the US House of Representatives. Coming to the rescue is this comprehensive listing of nearly 600 senior Congressional committee staff members, sorted by House, Senate, select, and joint committee assignments, complete with professional history and experience, specific legislative contributions, education, expertise and current contact information. Along with a very helpful name index, journalist and editor Bjerga provides a sensitive article on the role of those who operate from behind the scenes, while other commentators of note also make it clear that without the contributions of these unsung and the unelected, this just might not be the best government on earth.
