We celebrated this week when the Congressional Management Foundation bestowed its prized Gold Mouse Award on our website. So, you know how pleased we are about that. What you may not know is that Senate Energy & Natural Resources, in late 1995, became the first committee on Capitol Hill to merge onto the Information Superhighway. (Source: Chris Casey’s The Hill on the Net: Congress Enters the Information Age.) We’re proud of that, too!
