The Pres- ?nt. Rig Business or You?” The over-all conclusion of the book is that the President and big business dominate Congress, but the people could control it if they would lobby their congress men vigorously, vote out the bad ones and hold the others account able. “But until they do so, the proud lords of legislation can frolic in the pool, sleep quietly at their desk, vote themselves pork- barrel legislation, accept the money of special interests, capit ulate to the president, obstruct important legislation, and be re assured by the knowledge that it is extremely unlikely that these pleasures and powers will ever be taken away,” says the book. In his news conference Nader answered the who-runs-Congress question this way: “We are in the midst of a very serious constitutional crisis. Con gress under the Constitution is really the pre-eminent branch. Unfortunately . . . Congress has abdicated its responsibilities to powerful committee chairmen, executive bureaucracy and spe cial-interest groups.” The book is just a small part of a planned series of 20 to 30 volumes, involving over 1,000 volunteers and costing nearly $200,000. Nader said it is in tended as a tool to enable citizens to recapture control of the leg islature, and thus the govern ment. The consumer advocate says he is paying for the project per sonally out of speaking fees and royalties on books. Nader proposed that Congress begin recapturing its power by scheduling a special session for late 1973 to tackle one issue: congressional reform. The book, published at $1.95 by Bantam, is written by Mark J. Green, James M. Fellows and David R. Zwick, all products of Harvard University or its Law School. 1 ALBERTSONS DRUCS & FOODS SPECIALS GOOD OCT. 4, 5, 6, 7, WED., THUR., FRI., SAT.
