intern for summer 2011, starting in May.

Interns are responsible for both administrative and legislative
duties.  Administrative tasks include assisting the staff assistant
with answering phones, greeting visitors, sorting mail, entering data,
and drafting correspondence.  Legislative support includes performing

congressional offices, and a host of various special projects.

Candidates should be professional and possess strong oral and written
communication skills, an ability to multitask in a fast-paced
