- Summary:
- The President's Agenda addresses questions basic to the formulation of domestic strategy in the Oval Office. Why do certain issues steadily progress toward final action while others go unnoticed? Why are some policy alternatives fully developed while other are never explored? How are priorities established? Light describes the similarities in presidential decision-making over the past thirty years and offers a careful analysis of how that process has changed since the Kennedy era.
