Access to House and Senate Office Buildings In order to enter the buildings you just go through “airport-like” security: your belongings go through X-ray while you go through a metal detector door. Once you are inside, you can move through the different buildings by their connecting tunnels. UEC Government Relations Committee 13 J. Orduna. 03.11.2016
Still more info that we need Now that (hopefully) everyone has travel plans set. We need to know when you arrive and when you leave in order to feed that information for the secondaries. Secondaries depend on meeting scheduling, so they are usually known few hours before the kick-off meeting UEC Government Relations Committee 14 J. Orduna. 03.11.2016
