The Web sites for Senators generally follow this format: www.senate.gov/~lastnameofsenator/ The Web sites for House Members generally follow this format: www.house.gov/lastnameofcongressman/ There are exceptions. For example, if a Member's last name is fairly common, he may use his first initial and last name, like Sen. Gordon Smith (R-OR) does: www.senate.gov/~gsmith/ or his first and last names, as Cong. Jerry Lewis (R-CA) does: www.house.gov/jerrylewis/ What's more, some Members still refuse to have Web sites. If you have a problem reaching your Members by e-mail, try contacting their district offices by telephone, FAX, snail mail or in person. ~Tiresias Congressional Hearings: http://www.capitolwatch.com/hearings.html Do you have a contribution to make to a congressional hearing?
