Flag Requests

U.S. Flags may be purchased through my office and flown over the Capitol building. If you would like to order a flag, please fill out an order form and mail it to the address below. Please note that your order cannot be processed unless it is accompanied with payment (check or money order only, do not mail cash).

Please make your check or money order payable to the "Office Supply Account LA-02-40"

Congressman William J. Jefferson
Attn: Flag Order
1012 Hale Boggs Federal Building
501 Magazine Street
New Orleans, LA 70130-3394

If the flag is for a friend or local club, please make sure to include that information on the order form so the flag certificate will be filled out appropriately. With advance notice, it is possible to have your flag flown over the Capitol on a specific date. Be sure to indicate the desired flying date on the order form.

Allow at least 4-6 weeks for delivery. Please note that my office cannot guarantee the delivery of flags by specific dates, ceremonies, or occasions.

Due to the high volume of requests since September 11, there is currently a backlog of flag orders.
