Szczublewski, Kenneth J. "The V-22: a turning point in Congressional behavior?" Thesis, Monterey, California. Naval Postgraduate School, 1992. http://hdl.handle.net/10945/24100.
Повний текст джерелаWhy do legislators vote for some defense programs but against others? This issue is especially important now that Congress faces the need to cut defense programs while preserving U.S. security. The history of the V-22 offers a prime case study for examining congressional voting behavior for the post-Cold War era. This thesis reviews the literature on three possible explanations for congressional voting behavior: parochialism (the desire to benefit constituents), the Military-Industrial Complex or MIC (where votes are "bought" by industry campaigns contributions), and the personal preferences of individual members. The thesis uses logit equation to test and assess the validity of these hypothesis in the case of the V-22. No reliable connection was found between personal preference and voting on the V-22. Liberal Democrats that were assumed to be "dovish" on defense spending were just as likely as "hawkish" conservative Republicans to support this program. Nor was any evidence found to support the MIC hypothesis that voting is driven by PAC dollars. The likelihood of a representative supporting the V-22 actually decreased as PAC contributions increased. The parochial hypothesis was supported in the House but not in the Senate. Further research is required to find alternative explanations for defense voting behavior in the post-Cold War era.

Повний текст джерелаIn charge of a $15 trillion budget, the U.S. Congress functions as the largest business entity in the world. After the 2008 financial crisis, an increasing number of Americans became concerned about congressional leaders’ ability to handle business-related issues, such as high unemployment, housing foreclosures, declining stock prices, and business bankruptcies. Struggling to recover in a sluggish economy, Americans had the opportunity to communicate their approval or disapproval of congressional leaders’ handling of the U.S. economy in the midterm congressional election of 2012. To investigate how, if at all, Americans’ voting behavior in 2012 may have varied by their economic concern regarding the U.S. economy and approval of congressional leaders, an analysis of the American National Electoral Studies (ANES) survey was conducted. A quantitative study with a descriptive comparative design was conducted to analyze the ANES pre- and post- 2012 election surveys. While no significant differences were detected by gender (H1 - gender), economic concern differed significantly by age (H1 - age), education (H1 - education), political party (H2), state (H3), and congressional district (H4). Similarly, congressional approval varied significantly by all voter background variables (H5 - demographics, H6 - political party, H7 - state, and H8 - congressional district). Data analysis revealed that congressional approval varied significantly by a voter’s level of economic concern (H9). Additionally, frequency of voting differed significantly by participants’ economic concern and congressional approval (H10).

Повний текст джерелаThe interests of African Americans are underrepresented in Congress. The Congressional Black Caucus was formed to further the interests of African Americans. However, how effective the CBC may be in its congressional representation of the African American community is subject to dispute. It was hypothesized that throughout the 102nd through the 112th Congress (1992–2012), the CBC’s legislative behavior persuaded party leaders to advance the CBC’s legislative agenda. Archival data gathered by Scott Adler and John Wilkerson in their Congressional Bills Project 1947–2012 was utilized to complete the study. Linear regression T-tests and Chi-square tests were used to assess CBC members’ legislative behavior and the likelihood of the CBC introducing legislation that supported its legislative agenda. The results of the study show that the CBC demonstrated a robust legislative behavior of bill sponsorship, floor speeches and press conferences in support of its legislative agenda. The presence of the CBC in Congress is substantive, necessary to the success of legislation affecting African American interest and its’ legislative behavior is statistically significant compared to non-CBC members of Congress. The study validates, as essential, the presence of African American members of Congress.

Congressional assistants play an important bureaucratic role in helping legislators deal with legislative duties and political affairs. The objectives of this study are: first, trying to fathom Congressional assistants’ needs, behaviors, researching methods and motivations of information seeking; second, trying to evaluate the information surroundings of the Parliamentary Library, which provides basic legislative information for Congressional assistants. The aim is to proffer references and suggestions for the service planning of the Parliamentary Library. The study belongs to qualitative research and adopts the in-depth interview approach, using the Parliamentary Library as the model case. I have invited ten Congressional assistants whose main tasks including bill research for interview. This study aims to analyze the characteristics of these Congressional assistants’ behaviors and the external situations when they execute information seeking. Analysis includes the interactivities and impacts between the targeted persons and the technological surroundings. I interpret the components of the interviewing records and consequently invent a format of the Congressional assistants’ legislative information seeking behaviors. The results of this study suggest that Congressional assistants mainly search the legislative information for two tasks: one, handling the issues and problems about the bill research; two, providing services for civilians. The Congressional assistants decide what channel is best according to specific needs. Also, their legislative information seeking can be swayed by social or personal factors. The Web site of the Parliamentary Library is seen as the first step on legislative information seeking, while searching methods differ from person to person. Primarily Congressional assistants seek and judge the compatibility of the specific information on their own, choosing recorded or printed documents according to their needs. Factors that influence the information seeking process include as follows: classified information are less than enough so as to cause the difficulties of information gathering; the content of the Web site does not correspond to social issues. When it comes to whether such information is useful, Congressional assistants regard the spontaneity and availability as most important factors. The results also show that the Web site and the repertoire of the Parliamentary Library basically satisfy the needs of Congressional assistants. This thesis uses the results to offer suggestions for the resources and services of the Parliamentary Library. The Parliamentary Library should do more to cater to the information needs of the committee since the scale of the Parliament has been halved. As far as the information gathering is concerned, the Parliamentary Library had better strengthen the gathering of the local and the national information so as to satisfy specific needs of legislators. In the aspect of information value-added services, related laws of Parliament, the introduction and translation of foreign regulations, and the special information services that are catered to individual legislators and Congressional assistants need improvement. When it comes to information service planning, the Parliament Library is supposed to hold the poll to better understand the needs of regular searchers. As far as the development of the library resources, the gathering and circulation of gray literature can be highly achieved through the collaboration of the administrative department and the research team. As to the interlibrary resources, the interlibrary system should be established to help resources exchange via the links.

The study adopted quantitative methods to investigate the legislative information behavior of congressional legislative assistants and service satisfaction as well as use scenario of Parliamentary Library by questionnaire. The purpose of this study is to grasp the legislative information behavior of congressional legislative assistants and understand whether the existing services of Parliamentary Library could correspond to the real information needs of users in order to provide the suggestion and reference for Parliamentary Library when they prepare policies and plan services in order to enhance service quality. The findings of this study are as follows. For the information needs of Congressional legislative assistants, the study found they needed to look for and read job-related information frequently. The relationship between the information needs and solving problems was high. The information seeking behavior of congressional legislative assistants are as follows: 1. The main channels of obtaining job-related information are the website of Parliamentary Library and search engines. 2. The important information channels are Internet search and interpersonal relationships when they cannot find the information in the Legislative Yuan. 3. The most use of a variety of sources information includes assessment report of general budget and general financial statement of central government, bill tracking, legislative research reports, and records of law-making. 4. The influence factors of information search include: 1. information too much, no time to read, or found the information which can not apply to the problem often met; 2. information can only be used in office and unable to query or use at home that bothered them. The information use behaviors of Congressional legislative assistants are as follows: 1. Information quality is the primary consideration factor. 2. The reliability of the sources of information is the primary factor to assess the value of information. The influences of Congressional legislative assistants’ background to information behavior are as follows: 1. There is no significant from the information needs aspects. 2. The assistants’ age, their legislators attending committee and disciplines have significant impact for sources of information. 3. There is relationship between assistants’ age and the consideration factor of information selection for awareness of information. For the use scenario of Parliamentary Library for the Congressional legislative assistants is as follows: 1. More than half of the Congressional legislative assistants almost daily use library-related resources. 2. The current law in force is the most subscribed information through RSS and e-paper. 3. The News Knowledge Management System is the largest using rate among the website of Parliamentary Library. 4. There are no problems for Congressional legislative assistants to use library resources but a portion of them are not clear to the library resources and services. 5. The most satisfaction service for Congressional legislative assistants is the self-service system for books and periodicals. On the other hand, the lowest satisfaction service for them is the lack of comfortable reading seats. The suggestions from the study results are as follows: First, to survey the users needs periodically; Second, to strengthen the information service marketing and promotion of Parliamentary Library; Third, to strengthen the website interaction mechanism of Parliamentary Library; Fourth, to establish the training of Internet resources search skills; Fifth, to establish interlibrary cooperation; Sixth; to improve the library hardware.
