Unfortunately no congressperson showed up, although many sent staffers. I was told that they are rarely in DC on Mondays.

Hi Carol,
Actually, I was told there were 6 members of Congress, including one Senator.
Many were at a funeral yesterday in California.
The Director of the National Science Foundation was there. As well as many high level representative from the Patent Office, NIST and the Dept. of Homeland Security.
There were also many important staffers there. Many came after being visited by the FLL and FVC teams during the morning.
Love the White House pics!
