Public Policy Part 3: April 27
Public Policy Part 3: Policy Formulation
In this section of the paper, we will examine possible solutions to the problem addressed by the bill you have chosen. In other words, we will look at the chosen bill as well as other proposals put forward to deal with this issue.
Research Note: You should go to a public library and check out some books related to your topic. You should also contact interest groups, agencies and congressional committees involved in your topic. They will normally be more than willing to send you information on your topic. You may even get the chance to conduct an interview. Additionally, once everyone has chosen a topic, I will request Congressional Research Service Packs from our congressman. You must have at least three sources beyond the Internet. YOU MUST CITE EVERY PIECE OF INFORMATION YOU OBTAIN!!!
The following website will help you with the proper form for source citations:

For information on your topic, I suggest beginning with a Google or Yahoo or Ask search often the issue or bill name + politics is a great starting point. (e.g. Iraq troop funding politics) Then, branch out beyond the Internet. Additional sites that may prove helpful are the Cato Institute’s www.cato.org and the more liberal www.movingideas.org which will help you see different perspectives on given policies.
1. What is the bill you are researching? (name and number)
2. What is the purpose of the bill you are researching? What issue(s) does it address?
3. How does this bill address the issue at hand?
4. Is there a Senate version of this bill? If so, what is it and how does it differ from the House bill?
5. Are there any proposals of this issue from the president? If so, what is it and how does it differ from the House bill?
6. Are there any proposals on this issue from a bureaucratic agency? If so, what is it and how does it differ from the House bill?
7. Are there any proposals on this issue from business or other interest groups? If so, what are those proposals and how do they differ from the House bill?
