The Federal Executive Institute was established in 1968, a time of tension and challenge in the nation, as a staff college for roughly 10,000 people at the top of the Federal Civil Service. Its lofty mission was to equip these public offi cials for leadership in a more active, responsive government. From the outset, however, there were many misunderstandings of this goal. Th e attacks were both on programs and organization arrangements. Within eight years, by 1976, the original concept was already undergoing change, with the momentum growing in succeeding years. In 2010 the Federal Executive Institute continued to exist but as a major management training center for levels below the Senior Executive Service. This study is as much concerned with the theory that governed the early FEI as ith the events that brought its decline. In addition to the ditor, 15 participants in the undertaking provide their perspectives, ending with the 25th anniversary in 1993.

Most people think of governmental bureaucracy as a dull subject. Yet for thirty years the American federal executive has been awash in political controversy. From George Wallace's attacks on "pointy headed bureaucrats," to Richard Nixon's "responsiveness program," to the efforts of Al Gore and Bill Clinton to "reinvent government," the people who administer the American state have stood uncomfortably in the spotlight, caught in a web of politics. This book covers the turmoil and controversy swirling around the bureaucracy since 1970, when the Nixon administration tried to tighten its control over the executive branch. Drawing on interviews conducted over the past three decades, Joel D. Aberbach and Bert A. Rockman cast light on the complex relationship between top civil servants and political leaders and debunk much of the received wisdom about the deterioration and unresponsiveness of the federal civil service. The authors focus on three major themes:the "quiet crisis" of American administration, a hypothesized decline in the quality and morale of federal executives; the "noisy crisis," which refers to the large question of bureaucrats' responsiveness to political authority; and the movement to "reinvent" American government. Aberbach and Rockman examine the sources and validity of these themes and consider changes that might make the federal government's administration work better. They find that the quality and morale of federal executives have held up remarkably well in the face of intense criticism, and that the bureaucracy has responded to changes in presidential administrations. Pointing out that bureaucrats are convenient targets in contemporary political battles, the authors contend that complexity, contradiction, and bloated or inefficient programs are primarily the product of elected politicians, not bureaucrats.The evidence suggests that American federal executives will carry out the political will if they are given adequate support and realistic
