Here is an email I recieved (Jindal mailing list) w/ info on his committe assignments in Congress and upcoming open houses in South Louisiana.
------------------------------------ Dear Friends:
Last week as I stood on the Floor of the U.S. House and took the Oath of Office, a flood of thoughts raced through my mind. I thought of my courageous parents who came to Louisiana before I was born in search of the American Dream. It seemed like not a day would pass without my father telling my brother and I how lucky we were to live in America, where EVERYTHING is possible. I thought of my son and daughter, and how I want that Dream to be alive in their hearts and available in our state. And I thought of you, your support, encouragement and prayers that made this day possible.
Believe it or not, life as a Congressman is even busier than campaign life.
Last week we received our Committee assignments. I was happy to be asked to serve on the newly created Homeland Security Committee, the Education and Workforce Committee, and the Committee on Resources. These Committees will provide an excellent forum to improve the security of our state, make healthcare more affordable for individuals and small businesses, improve education and preserve the natural resources that make our state so unique and beautiful.
Our DC office is setup and I was thrilled to see many supporters visit the open house last week. This week we will be opening two district offices, one in Metairie, one in St. Tammany, and a third office will open soon in Tangipahoa Parish. Our open house in Metairie is Today at 12:00, January 13, 2004 at our office located at 3525 North Causeway Blvd., Ste. 1020. Tomorrow, we will have our open house in Mandeville at 12:00, located at 21454 Koop Drive, Suite 1-E. I look forward to visiting with so many of you as you stop by during our open house celebrations.
Next week, the Presidential Inauguration festivies will take place in Washington, DC. As a Congressman, they have given me a limited number of tickets for the Inaugural Ceremony. If you are planning to go to DC and would like tickets to see President Bush Inaugurated, please call my office at 504-274-0080. The number of tickets is limited, so they will be distributed on a first come, first serve basis.
Thank you again for your kind support and prayers as we continue this journey. I hope we have the chance to see each other soon.
Bobby Jindal
