Excerpts

Despite the significant control government exerts over Americans, few understand its organizational structure and the roles of its various departments and offices. For people to gain the full benefits of government programs and avoid the snares lurking among government bureaucracy and arcane regulations, they must clearly understand the powers and functions of each part of the government. Encyclopedia of Federal Agencies and Commissions is a comprehensive guide to the various branches of the federal government, making information about them readily available and accessible. Clearly written entries cover all branches of the federal government as well as the history and inner workings of the agencies that function under them. Coverage includes:
The executive branch
The legislative branch
The judicial branch
Independent entities and commissions
Quasi-official agencies.
