Answer to Question 1

1, Outline the use of the federal bureaucracy to assemble information.
2, Discuss presidential reliance on party relationships and ideological alliances to develop a congressional coalition of support.
3, Define an extensive presidential public relations campaign to build public awareness of the need for action.
4, List legislative initiatives that may need to be introduced in the Congress.
5, Detail the use of executive orders to coordinate the implementation of U.S. policy through a large number of different bureaucracies.

Answer to Question 2

An ideal response will:
1, Define independent agencies as units in the executive branch outside the control of executive departments, such as the Environmental Protection Agency.
2, Define independent regulatory commissions as units in the executive branch that make and enforce rules to protect the public interest, such as the Federal Reserve Board.
3, Identify key differences between independent agencies and independent regulatory commissions, such as the fact that agencies are headed by single administrators, while commissions are governed by groups of commissioners. Additionally, commissions are more independent of presidential control: commissioners cannot be removed by the president.
