WASHINGTON – Sen. Chuck Grassley reminds Iowans that his office is available to help with U.S. Capitol building tours and other arrangements for those planning a trip to Washington, D.C. Grassley and Sen. Joni Ernst also scheduled a reception to meet Iowans visiting the nation’s capital during many Iowa schools’ spring break the week of March 14 through March 18.
“My staff is very good at giving tours of the U.S. Capitol,” Grassley said. “They know a lot of history and facts of interest. They also can help with the logistics of visiting other popular sites. I encourage Iowans to get in touch with requests and questions.”
In addition to the Capitol building, one of the most requested sites is visiting the White House. Tour tickets are limited, and requests in advance give the best chance for accommodation. More information on help with tours is available here on Grassley’s website.
Given the large number of Iowans expected to visit Washington, D.C., over spring break, Grassley and Ernst will hold an open door reception for interested Iowans.

When: Tuesday, March 15, 2016, from 2 p.m. to 3 p.m. Eastern

*Logistics might change due to unforeseen scheduling needs or the need for a bigger room. The office will send out final confirmation as the date approaches.
