A mixed review on Congress

Article Abstract:

The record of the 102nd Congress, with respect to business-related legislation, was mixed. An important highway-policy bill was passed, but a strong measure on workplace discrimination was a defeat for business. The rest of the congressional record for 1991 was marked by indecision.
