This article inquires into the importance of the floor of the House of Representatives as a forum for making national policy, and the changing relationship between representatives and their committees. One plausible consequence of many of the changes that have taken place in the House during the past several decades could be a growing tendency for representatives to challenge the recommendations of their committees by offering more floor amendments with more success. This expectation is substantiated by an examination of the amendments offered in Committee of the Whole to general appropriations bills between 1963 and 1982
