Description: Uses the problem of flood control in a locality to portray the relationships between the representative in congress, his constituents, the work of the legislative branch of government, and legislative apportionments as of 1962. Shows a representative working with the constituents on the local problem of flood control, returning to Congress on the issue of flood control, and expediting the passage of a bill to meet the problem. Traces the path of the bill to illustrate the relationships between the three branches of government, the patterns of representation in the House and Senate, their organization into committees, the procedures for framing legislation, and ways to encourage the passage of bills.
