MEMBERS OF CONGRESS WORK ON THE GROUNDS OF THE CAPITOL

Representatives (standing L-R) Nita Lowey (D-NY), Gary Ackerman (D-NY) and Carolyn McCarthy (D-NY) and aides (seated L-R) Amy Lee and Howard Diamond work out of their makeshift office in the parking lot of the U.S. Capitol Building in Washington, October 24, 2001. With the closing of Congressional offices due to anthrax, many members of Congress and their staff are being forced to work where ever possible to keep Congress in session. REUTERS/Brendan McDermid
