    Capitol Hill Guide Welcome

    The Van Scoyoc Companies Capitol Hill Guide Welcome Welcome to Washington and the Van Scoyoc Companies. I hope you’ll find this guide useful during your visit to Capitol Hill. Our Country’s forefathers enshrined in the First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution the people’s right “peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.” They considered this right of equal importance with freedom of religion and freedom of the press. Thousands of Americans visit their elected representatives in the House and the Senate each year, providing Members of Congress and the Administration with vital insights into the Country’s needs and fears and wishes for the future. Unfortunately, many Americans today don’t appreciate this right – and this privilege – they have to influence government by making their views known, either directly or through agents and associations. The Founding Fathers knew that a great nation grew out of a vigorous competition of ideas and interests, and they designed our Government to accommodate conflicts, not quash them. We at the Van Scoyoc Companies have always believed that our primary role was to help our clients find honorable and effective ways to make their arguments known to those in power. Please don’t hesitate to ask anyone in our firms for something you may need during your visit to Washington. We don’t pretend to have the answer to every question, but I guarantee you that when we don’t, we know how to find it.

    2019 NCBJ Annual Meeting in Washington, D.C. - Early Ideas Regarding Extracurricular Activities for Attendees and Guests to Consider

    2019 NCBJ Annual Meeting in Washington, D.C. - Early Ideas Regarding Extracurricular Activities for Attendees and Guests to Consider There are so many things to do when visiting D.C., many for free, and here are a few you may have not done before. They may make it worthwhile to come to D.C. early or to stay to the end of the weekend. Getting to the Sites: • D.C. Sites and the Pentagon: Metro is a way around town. The hotel is four minutes from the Metro’s Mt. Vernon Square/7th St.-Convention Center Station. Using Metro or walking, or a combination of the two (or a taxi cab) most D.C. sites and the Pentagon are within 30 minutes or less from the hotel.1 Googlemaps can help you find the relevant Metro line to use. Circulator buses, running every 10 minutes, are an inexpensive way to travel to and around popular destinations. Routes include: the Georgetown-Union Station route (with a stop at 9th and New York Avenue, NW, a block from the hotel); and the National Mall route starting at nearby Union Station. • The Mall in particular. Many sites are on or near the Mall, a five-minute cab ride or 17-minute walk from the hotel going straight down 9th Street. See map of Mall. However, the Mall is huge: the Mall museums discussed start at 3d Street and end at 14th Street, and from 3d Street to 14th Street is an 18-minute walk; and the monuments on the Mall are located beyond 14th Street, ending at the Lincoln Memorial at 23d Street.

On Friday, March 15, a preview was held of exhibitions organized as a "Tribute to the Arts of the America's". The Tribute was organized by the Washington Performing Arts Society, and the Corcoran exhibitions played a vital role in the celebration of the arts in the America's. The preview was held in conjunction with openings at the Pan American Union and the Renwick Ga-llery. Many members, guests and others attended the opening at the Corcoran. The sculpture of Edgar Negret was well received, being sculpture of major international importance. The Argentine Embassy helped present the paintings of Raquel Forner, while the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico presented prints from the San Juan Biennial and Puerto Rican photographs. Canada was represented by the prints of William Featherston. The paintings of Elliott Thompson were previewed later in the month on Wednesday, March 27. Elliott Thompson is increasingly well known as a Washington painter and the work shown represented his development in painting from 1967-1974. Elliott Thompson teaches at the Corcoran School of Art. Events were held in March to coincide with "The Tribute to the Arts in the America's", including lunchtime talks and a reception by the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico in conjunction with the Puerto Rican photography of'Dos Mundos'.' The Lecture Committee of the Women's Committee sponsored an evening of "American Writing of the 1930's".

Organizers planned a shorter ceremony to account for the rain, which started falling about halfway through the ceremony during the presentation of honorary degrees to former University President Stephen Joel Trachtenberg and former Board of Trustees Chairman Charles Manatt. “We’ve been soaking you for 20 years, so what’s a little drizzle now?” said Trachtenberg, as the Mall quickly be- came a sea of multi-colored umbrellas and ponchos. “I’ve been saving that line for a long time,” he added. University spokesperson Tracy Schario said the short speeches from Manatt and Trachtenberg, as well as the brisk pace throughout the program, cut about 20 minutes from the ceremony. Commencement ended at 11:30 a.m., while in previous years it concluded closer to noon. The ceremony began at 9:30 a.m. with the procession of graduates, faculty and administrators, led by a team of bag- pipers and drummers. The GW Symphonic Band also per- formed, at one point playing the theme from “Star Wars.” At the outset of the ceremony, University Marshal Jill Kasle announced that many of the empty seats reserved for graduates were available to the general audience, initiating a rush of parents and family members looking for a better view.

That year was 1930 and, yes, GW surpassed the glee clubs of Yale and Princeton, Columbia and Dartmouth in the competi- tion... a night to remember! The 1930 concert program had never been placed in the University Archives, but Weitzels copy occupied a prominent place in the evenings exhibit of choral memorabilia. The event at which Weitzel was speaking was the March 1986 Harmon Choral Reunion. Drawn by a camaraderie developed in the tradition of choral singing and wishing to honor their leader of more than 40 years, Dr. Robert Howe Harmon, GW choristers traveled long distances to the reunion. There were 239 guests in attendance at the banquet and more than 500 crowded the Dorothy Betts Marvin Theatre later that evening to hear student and alumni voices join together in a rousing Its A Grand Night For Singing. They were celebrating a grand tradition at GW the tradition of choral singing which dates to the turn of the century and has taken the Universitys name to the far corners of the earth. One of those places was the South Pacific, where Traveling Troubadours members Dick Hedges, Steve Andersen, Dave Lum, John Parker, Wade Currier, Dick Randall, Sue Farquharson Law, Joan Haag Osborne and Rosemary Glenn found themselves in 1950.
