(a) Two reasons Congress gives agencies policy-making discretion in executing federal laws are 1) The people who work for an agency usually specialize in the area they work in and are much more knowledgeable on how laws should be carried out in that area than Congress is and 2) Congress does not have the time to look closely at each agency and the problems they come upon because there are so fewer Congressmen and women than there are bureaucratic agents.
