Lest anyone forget today was a reminder of the times we live in. As I was on errands inside the Capitol a rush of activity alerted me to the fact that my trip was far from ususal. The Capitol Police (yes, the United States Capitol has it's own police force) began a hurried evacuation of the new Capitol Visitors Center because of an unclaimed/suspicious package. Thousands of tourists, staff and Congressional personnel left quickly, in a very well managed exodus.
The standard operating procedure is to dispose (e.g. 'blow up') the suspicious item, which is what was done with the package left unattended in the entrance way.
In other news I attended my second weekly all staff meeting in the Office. It's interesting to hear about the many events that are scheduled for Representative Moore and how the staff are involved in the researching, briefing, coordination and support of those events. What's especially impressive, is with all of the variety of events, responsibilities and commitments, that it comes off so well with only minor hiccups.
