dc.description.abstractThe relationship between members of Congress’ and administrators has always been problematic. Interaction between the two takes place in oversight, casework and constituency service. Since the relationship is between two branches of government, separation of powers iS a problem and a delicate balance must be maintained when the two branches interact. Interaction is a current concern because the amount taking place is increasing. There are only a few guidelines that govern the interaction between members of Congress and administrators: court opinions, rules and expectations of both the House and Senate and the code of ethics for public servants. Since the guidelines are sketchy, most operate according to their own ideas of what is and what is not appropriate interaction. The Keating Five Hearings provide a well-documented interaction between members of Congress and administrators highlighting the relevant law and the normative and ethical issues that guide this interaction.en
