Endorsements for Reagan's Mandate: Anecdotes from Inside Washington's Iron Triangle

"Barbara McLennan worked with me on the SELF-Tax, a proposal for radical tax reform and tax simplification. That bill was a forerunner of the legislation that eventually passed as the Tax Reform Act of 1986. Barbara's memoir describes the Washington tax writing process, the main players, and the role of staff and individual senators in legislating economic policy for the nation. This is a must read for those interested in tax policies and how legislation becomes law."
Dan Quayle, former Vice President of the United States

"Barbara McLennan could be Forrest Gump--popping up in key places at crucial points--except her involvement is far from being simply an observer. This remarkable memoir offers rare glimpses of well-known leaders and keen insights about the far less well-known workings of our Congress and executive branch during times when the ideas and efforts of a few individuals made a real difference. Through it all she maintains an enviable sense of wonder and personal responsibility one wishes were the norm rather than the exception in government service."
Peggy Morrissette, former Special Assistant to President Ronald Reagan

"This insightful and unique account of our country's most transformational budget, tax, and trade legislation in recent history, comes from deep inside the "Iron Triangle." Barbara McLennan paints a vivid portrait of the conflict and compromise among Congressional staff, repesentatives and senators, as well as cabinet officials themselves. While an important contribution to the political science literature, this book is a must read for anyone concerned with understanding the change afoot in Washington today. The names have changed, but the drama described by McLennan provides readers with an insiders' game book for today's action!"
Rick Oliver, CEO of American Sentinel University, former F-500 executive, professor of management at Vanderbilt and Cornell Universities and author of 7 books on change, globalization and technology.
