The speaker of the house
The Speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives is widely viewed as symbolizing the power and authority of the House of Representatives. This report, designed to aid in responding to student and constituent requests, summarizes the duties and the influence of the Speaker. The Speaker is most prominently the presiding officer of the House chamber, but he also fulfills at least two other roles. He is the leader of the majority political party in the House, and he is an elected Member of the House, representing a congressional district. This report discusses each of the Speaker's roles and examines why they combine to make the Speaker a powerful and respected institutional leader. The report concludes with a brief bibliography.

Accelerated depreciation, the investment tax credit, and their required ratemaking treatement in the public utility industry
This report provides a background discussion of accelerated depreciation, the investment tax credit, and their required ratemaking treatment in the public utility industry. "Excess deferred taxes," which result from the tax rate decrease in the Tax Reform Act of 1986, are also discussed. The report summarizes the legislative history and discusses the extent to which the required ratemaking treatments are consistent with the underlying economic effects of the tax benefits. A final section provides data on the amounts of accumulated deferred income taxes and investment tax credits in the electric, telephone, and gas utility industries since enactment of the tax provisions.
