Visiting Washington D.C.
As you walk down
Washington's streets and look at the grand Greek columns
of the federal buildings, the proud white Capitol dome,
and the solemn words inscribed on our national monuments,
you begin to feel a special appreciation for our nation,
its people, and our values.
A trip to Washington, D.C. is
a once in a lifetime opportunity, and I want to make sure your trip to Washington is
memorable and care-free. My staff can help arrange special
tours of Washington, including a personal congressional
staff
tour of the U.S. Capitol.
My office can
help you obtain tickets and tours of the following
locations: the Capitol, Congressional
House Gallery, the White House, Bureau of
Engraving and Printing, Kennedy Center, and the Library of
Congress.
To schedule a
tour of these locations, please download a
Tour Request Form
(Adobe
Acrobat format) and send it to my office at least
60 days before you depart for Washington.
New Policy for White House
Tours
Effective
September 16, 2003, White House tours will once again be
open to the public, but must include groups of 10 or
more people. To accommodate groups of less than 10
people, my office will do our best to coordinate and
combine groups to meet the 10 or more requirement.
We
highly encourage that requests be made through my office
no earlier than 6 months prior to the requested date and
no later than 60 days prior to the requested date. Tour
requests will be forwarded and processed by the White
House Tour office on a first-come first-serve basis.
Please
contact Yvonne Kearns of my
Honolulu office to
process such tour requests at:
