President Lincoln’s expression of this commitment, “to care for him who shall have borne the battle, and for his widow and his orphan,” is the founding principle of the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA). Today, of course, our nation continues to extend that commitment to men and women who have steadfastly served, and to the family members whose loved ones lost their lives in service on our behalf. As the nature of battle changes and battlefield medical care improves, VA and its partners face new challenges. More than 837,000 service members have returned from Iraq and Afghanistan, and they, their families, and the families of those who did not return, have joined the millions of veterans and family members served by VA. Yet, numbers alone do not tell the story. This new group includes those suffering from or at risk for Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) and Traumatic Brain Injury, conditions that may be difficult to detect and slow to emerge. As part of an effort to help VA improve its service to the new and earlier generation of veterans, Congress asked the National Academy of Public Administration to study the management and organizational challenges facing VA. Over the last several years, a number of distinguished panels, including a Presidential Commission led by former Senator Robert J. Dole and former Secretary of Health and Human Services Donna E. Shalala, have studied a variety of obstacles to prompt service and timely care for veterans and have made dozens of recommendations for improvement. In this report, the National Academy Panel provides practical administrative and management solutions to assist VA in implementing these recommendations and ensuring better outcomes for veterans. The Report recommends actions to improve service to veterans and sustain a process of continuous improvement that will last beyond the term of any particular Secretary or Administration. They are directed to current VA officials, individuals who will assume responsibility for service to veterans in the next Administration, and members of Congress who must provide the required authority, resources, and oversight. It is the National Academy’s intent that the true beneficiaries will be the veterans who have faithfully served their country. The Academy was honored to undertake this study. I want to thank the Academy Fellows and other members of the Panel for their insights and guidance, as well as VA executives and staff, and many other stakeholders, for their cooperation. Finally, I extend my appreciation to the study team for its work to produce this important report. Jennifer L.

Copyright 2014 by Ruth Frances Bloch Rubin ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! Abstract ! Intraparty Organization in the U.S. Congress by Ruth Frances Bloch Rubin Doctor of Philosophy in Political Science University of California, Berkeley Professor Eric Schickler, Chair The purpose of this dissertation is to supply a simple and synthetic theory to help us to understand the development and value of organized intraparty blocs. I will argue that lawmakers rely on these intraparty organizations to resolve several serious collective action and coordination problems that otherwise make it difficult for rank-and-file party members to successfully challenge their congressional leaders for control of policy outcomes. In the empirical chapters of this dissertation, I will show that intraparty organizations empower dissident lawmakers to resolve their collective action and coordination challenges by providing selective incentives to cooperative members, transforming public good policies into excludable accomplishments, and instituting rules and procedures to promote group decision-making. And, in tracing the development of intraparty organization through several well-known examples of party infighting, I will demonstrate that intraparty organizations have played pivotal — yet largely unrecognized — roles in critical legislative battles, including turn-of-the-century economic struggles, midcentury battles over civil rights legislation, and contemporary debates over national health care policy.
