Tentative Schedule for the 105th Congress

JAN 17, 1997

Below is a tentative calendar of when the Senate and House of Representatives will not be in session during 1997. Often the best time to visit with your Senator or Representative is during a congressional recess, when your Member of Congress will be in his or her state/district office. This assures that you will not be competing for your Member’s attention with hearings or floor votes. For further advice, please request our “Communicating with Congress” brochure or see our website at: http://www.aip.org/gov/commcong.html
