Candy Desk
Candy Desk Drawer
Traditions associated with the Senate desks continue to evolve. A recent example is the so-called "Candy Desk." In 1965 Senator George Murphy of California originated the practice of keeping a supply of candy in his desk for the enjoyment of fellow senators. In every Congress since that time a candy desk has been located in the back row of the Republican side, on the aisle and adjacent to the Chamber's most heavily used entrance.
