Visting the White House (Tours are currently canceled)

**As you may know, the White House has announced that due to staffing reductions resulting from sequestration, all White House Tours were canceled effective Saturday, March 9, 2013 until further notice. My office does not have any information about when tours will resume. I sincerely apologize for the inconvenience, particularly during the popular spring tour season. For updates regarding this situation, please contact the White House Visitors Office 24-Hour Hotline at (202) 456-7041. No additional congressional tours in which my office assists with arrangements have been affected.

During this sequestration period, my office can still submit White House tour requests, though I cannot guarantee that they will be approved given the current situation.**
