Federal Prose: How to Write in and/or for Washington

The English language has proved inadequate to express and activate the expanding functions of government. A new language known as Federal Prose has triumphantly risen to fill this need. It can give voice to the government mind or express the purposes of administrative democracy. This book explains the origins of Federal Prose, demonstrates its logic, and offers detailed instructions for its use.
