COP on the Hill:
Stories from the week of March 31, 2017

Who’s Your Daddy? About to leave the Senate office building a police officer called out to me. “Where is your jacket? I know you wore it in this morning.” Smiling, I assured him it was in my briefcase and it had become too warm to wear to the Union Station.

It seems my ‘back-up’ is everywhere these days. Foto of said jacket at bottom.

Done: this week the Swiss Medication-Assisted-Treatment Program was hand-delivered to all 100 Senate offices. Friday was spent emailing the health LAs said program, just to make sure them share it easily.
