Hays Discusses Pressure Groups and Deliberation in Congress
Washington Jan 4 Wic Bracks Hays a GWU law student years ago formed opinions on pressure groups. He studied policy science at the University of Arkansas and worked in Little Rock before joining the Department of Agriculture. In his first interview as a Congo member he argued pressure groups have a right to be heard but a congressman should not yield to them if it harms the people’s interests. He urged a more deliberative atmosphere in Congress and said individual members must debate questions on their merits rather than bow to special interests.
