                       NEED FOR A VISITORS CENTER

  Ms. LANDRIEU. Mr. President, I came to the floor to speak for a 
moment of personal privilege, but I heard my colleague from Nevada 
speaking about the need for a visitors center. I would like to add my 
support for his calling for us to resolve whatever difficulties there 
may be and try to get this visitors center constructed for all the good 
reasons he outlined.
  There are millions and millions of young people and adults who come 
to this beautiful building. This really is the people's house. There 
really is no place for them to rest and to have a refreshment and to 
get someplace away from the hot Sun. The lines are quite long.
  For all the reasons he laid out in his few minutes, I add my voice to 
how important I think it is for us to get on with the business of a 
visitors center for this Capitol.
