Climer, Jerome F.: - Jerome F. Climer graduated from The University of Arkansas with a degree in public administration, one of the first awarded. He interrupted his master's degree work to join the staff of an Arkansas congressman for what he intended to be a two-year experience. 40 years later, he left Capitol Hill, having served other members of Congress, the Secretary of the Department of Agriculture, five years on the House Minority Leadership staff, and 20 as President of the Congressional Institute. This experience enabled him to master the intricacies of the House and Senate and develop a perspective about the historic intent of the institution against present-day realities. Most of his writing was anonymous, for members of Congress, and published as their work, or on behalf of The Congressional Institute. He co-authored Surviving Inside Congress, of which there are now five editions. The book has been distributed to both party's House and the Senate staff and utilized by several academic institutions for college-level study. Jerry lives in Edenton, NC.
