Senator Barry Goldwater, Congressman John Rhodes, Senator Carl Hayden, and Congressman Morris Udall appear in an "informal discussion" moderated by Udall. Topics include current committee assignments, House and Senate appropriations processes, "back door" appropriations, and a postal service rate increase. Hayden breaks down "the way taxpayer's dollars are broken up" (the percentages of federal budget spending). Panelists also discuss the "seniority system" for committee appointments in Congress, the roles of constituent opinion vs. members personal knowledge or convictions in voting for or against proposed legislation, reapportionment, and members work schedules. The film concludes with silent b-roll head shots of each guest.
