Issue Position: LOOKING OUT FOR FEDERAL EMPLOYEES AND VISITORS

Issue Position

Immediately following the Office of Compliance report last summer estimating 6,300 serious safety hazards in the U.S. Capitol complex, Norton met with the Architect of the Capitol (AOC), and then called a hearing to investigate the safety of employees and the millions of visitors who annually come to the Capitol and congressional office buildings. At the hearing, the AOC testified that 60 percent of the violations had been abated, and that remedies for Capitol Visitor Center employee complaints were being provided.
