Object Details

Personal connections to constituents have long been an important aspect of a Representative’s work. This 1973 House Restaurant menu, with a personal message from Kika de la Garza to his visiting constituents, exemplifies the effect of personal interaction on the more universal experience of visiting the Capitol. For decades, the dining room used paper menus, which were often signed by Members and kept as souvenirs of a visit to the Capitol.
