ArticlePublisher: 2002Journal of Public Administration Research and Theory 12, 3, p. 333-351Abstract: The Republican capture of the U.S. Congress following the 1994 midterm elections provides a unique oportunity to examine congressional control of the bureaucracy. Under the leardership of House Majority Whip Tom Delay (R-TX), Republican waged an all-out assaut on regulation reminiscent of the Reagan years. Toward that end, House leaders relied on a mix of control mechanisms including budget cut and a variety of deck stancking strategies. While the bulk of the Re£blican regulatory agenda failed to pass, evidence from four federal agencies that were targeted by those efforts suggests that the congressional challenge had an immediate, if short-lived, effect. In each instance, there was an immediate decline in regulatory vigor that lasted in most cases just one or two years
