Congress security
Members of the United States House of Representatives now have bulletproof metal plates in the backs of their chairs as further protection against a terrorist attack inside the chamber. The House Sergeant-at-Arms, Jack Russ, said that the insertion of the plates — which are inside the chairbacks and not visible — became the latest of the security measures instituted after a bombed ripped through a Senate corridor on November 7. The Senate Ser-geant-at-Arms, Larry Smith, said the Senate also had taken new precautions to protect members while on the floor, but would not reveal details.—Washington.
