Description

To assess the virtues of strong presidential leadership in the regulatory process, we need to have a richer sense of the dimensions of presidential leadership in regulatory decisionmaking. The set of proposals put forward by the National Performance Review (NPR), a task force established by the Clinton administration last year, provides a useful focal point for the examination of this issue. In Part I, the author considers how the trend toward President-led initiatives fits with our growing skepticism about the capacities of legislators and bureaucrats to improve regulation and administration. In Part II, the author traces some of the conceptual underpinnings of the President's expanding regulatory role. The author adds to this mostly theoretical discussion the particulars of the NPR Report in Part III. Ultimately, the Clinton administration's opening salvo into the thicket of regulatory reform is of a piece with contemporary trends in presidential politics and regulatory administration.
