Norton to Welcome New Page Class to D.C.
October 16, 2006

Washington, DC—Congresswoman Eleanor Holmes Norton (DC) tomorrow morning (Tuesday, October 17, 2006) will speak to the regularly scheduled new class of House pages, as she has done previously. Each year, the House Page School asks Norton to speak about the city where the pages will be living, studying and working for the next year.

Norton said, “I want to welcome the pages to their hometown for the next several months, especially when some pages and their families may be concerned about how the email scandal will affect the new class. I want these young people, who were not involved at all, to feel comfortable about the wonderfully exciting and important experience they will have working for Congress.” Norton knows the value of that experience because of the three pages from the District of Columbia whom she has appointed over the years.
