assigned to cleaning the House side of the Capitol Building due to the

division has increased dramatically over the past several years.

of the Capitol Building. They are responsible for a wide variety of
maintenance, cleaning, and other services during their tour of duty.

functions in the Capitol, assisting the flag flying operation,
responding to emergency cleaning calls, providing special assistance
for maintenance shops in their work when needed, cleaning the exterior
and interior windows, chandeliers, marble and woodwork, responding to
emergency cleaning calls, providing special assistance for maintenance
and project oriented consultants, as in the case of erecting and moving
scaffolding for art conservators, and other functions. The night labor
division performs most of the general cleaning of office space in the
House side of the Capitol, as well as specific cleaning programs such
as the floor cleaning program, and the proposed toilet cleaning program
for which three new positions are being requested.

the Courtyard Infill project. An adequate number of staff is needed to
accommodate all needs on a timely basis. Frequently, day laborers must
be called away from one job to assist or begin another. As a result,
