Every Wednesday morning while Congress is in session, the entire Nebraska delegation come together and meet informally with constituents visiting Washington D.C. The Nebraska Breakfast, as it is called, is a 67-year-old tradition begun by Senator Hugh Butler in 1943.

The Nebraska breakfast is an extraordinary opportunity for representatives to share thoughts and ideas with each other as well as fellow Nebraskans.  It is also a truly unique practice on Capitol Hill.  Many state delegations rarely, if ever, meet together with their constituents.  The fact that Nebraskans do so weekly reflects our state's rare heritage of both fierce independence and the cooperative spirit.

If you are in Washington this year when Congress is in session, I strongly encourage you to make the Nebraska breakfast a part of your itinerary.  The breakfast begins at 8 am eastern time and is held at the Senate Buffet in the Dirksen Senate Office Building, First Street and Constitution Ave., NE, in Washington, D.C.
