WITNESSES FOR THE REVOLUTION

The Republican Revolution reshaped many congressional practices, inclu ding the mix of interest groups testifying before House committees, in ways that promote partisan responsiveness. A comparison of the 104th and 103rd Congresses reveals significantly more testimony in 1995 by g roups sympathetic to the Revolution, less testimony by other groups, C omparisons of individual committees, although more ambiguous, also rev eal differences between traditionally partisan and traditionally bipar tisan committees.
