Sen. Leahy's Washington office has
access to a limited number of tickets for tours of the
White House, Library of Congress, Capitol Building, Supreme Court,
Bureau of Engraving and Printing, the Kennedy Center, the National
Archives and the Pentagon.
Currently, the White House is offering a limited number of
self-guided, public tours for groups of ten or more through
congressional offices, and on a first-come, first-served basis.
The White House requires security information for all persons
touring the building, including first and last names, middle
initials, social security numbers and birthdates. If you
are interested in touring the White House, Sen. Leahy's office will need at
6 months advanced notice, as tour availability is very
limited.

Place your
request by contacting Sen. Leahy's Burlington
office at (802) 863-2525 or 1-800-642-3193, or his Washington office at
(202) 224-4242. You are also welcome to e-mail
your request. Please be
prepared to provide a contact name, a daytime phone number, a home
address, the dates you will be available for touring, the number of people
in your party and information regarding any special needs. Congressional
tickets are limited in number and distributed on a first-come, first-served basis. Give
my office as much advance notice as possible. If the tickets
you want are unavailable, public tours are available most weekdays, and
are also based on a first-come, first-served basis. Call Sen. Leahy's offices to
find out if these tickets are available, and ask for a copy of the "Welcome to Washington" packet, which provides information about public
tours and attractions in the Washington area. Links to some of the popular
attractions are listed below, as well as information about dozens of area
attractions, including museums, monuments, and historical sites.
