Working people should be paid. and people who have 23 years of service should not be told to go home and stay home against their will and without a paycheck." The indifference of this new majority toward Federal employees is so overwhelming that I may be wasting my breath by talking about the humanity of the situation. But other Americans are being affected. too. I met my constituent Laurine Fox. a musician who was supposed to be the guest conductor for an orchestra in Bulgaria over the holidays. but Laurine could not get a passport because politicians in Washington are bickering. I met a woman whose elderly parents immigrated from Europe may years ago and now live in Georgia. They made a pilgrimage to New York to see their names inscribed on the wall at Ellis Island. But Ellis Island was closed. and their sentimental journey was ruined.
