How Can I Help?My Washington, DC, office along with my Camarillo and Solvang District Offices can provide a number of services, from assistance with federal agencies to arranging tours of select federal facilities in Washington, DC. Below is a synopsis of some of the services my offices can provide. Federal Agencies You can often obtain an answer or resolve your problems by directly contacting a federal agency or by visiting its web site. You may also wish to visit my Frequently Asked Questions page for self-help guidance. Also, each week I post answers to popular questions that you may find helpful. However, when additional help is required, my staff and I will open a case and act as your liaison with the appropriate federal agency. Military Academies Each Member of Congress is given a limited number of vacancies to fill for each military academy. Nominees for appointment to the service academies are selected on a competitive basis, using criteria determined by the academies to be indicative of ones potential for success as an Army Cadet, Navy Midshipman, Merchant Marine Midshipman, or Air Force Airman. Congressional Award The Congressional Award is the U.S. Congress award for young Americans. It is non-partisan, voluntary, and non-competitive. The program is open to all 14- to 23-year-olds. Flag Flown Over the Capitol You may request that a U.S. flag be flown over the U.S. Capitol to commemorate a special event. Congressional Tours My Washington office is able to provide tickets for several popular sites in Washington, DC. Tickets are limited, so please get requests in as soon as possible. Congressional tours are usually booked several months in advance. Grant Opportunities Because of the number of requests, and the limited resources of my office, we cannot research grant opportunities. But there are a number of House of Representatives resources available to help you research and obtain grants. I look forward to hearing from you.
