Zusammenfassung:In 1980, Milt Stewart was chief counsel for advocacy, Who Shot JR? was the number one TV mystery, and President Jimmy Carter signed the Regulatory Flexibility Act (RFA) into law. To mark the law's 35-year evolution, four former chief counsels who helped shape and strengthen the statute shared their perspectives on the RFA's milestones. Their accounts help show how the RFA has become an important part of the federal rulemaking process. The RFA's passage in 1980 marked an important milestone for the new Office of Advocacy, which had been established in 1976. However, getting agencies to comply with the statute was an uphill battle early on.
