kaplan HA545 Unit 5 – Written Assignment

Using this Congressional Report for members of Congress and your textbook, write a 5-page memorandum/paperon the topic of rulemaking (refer below as to the format of a memorandum). Your memo should include a narrative, citations and at least 2 scholarly references. I do not require a title page with this since it is a memo, but you must have a separate reference page.

You are a summer intern with Harry Smith, a Congressman from your home district. He has to advise his congressional committee on the impact of interest groups on legislation. Write the memorandum to explain the purpose and influence on rulemaking in the operation of the legislation. You should offer suggestions on the importance of the implementation phase of the legislation.

Memorandum Format:

All memos are structured similarly. They have the following elements:

• An addressee: Flush left, in capital letters, near the top of the page
• The sender:Flush left, in caps, immediately below the addressee
• Date:Flush left, in caps, immediately below the sender's name
• Subject:Flush left, in caps, immediately below the date

This figure shows an example of a properly structured memo.
