There are several other visits to add to the list. I will have to go back in my notes to look up the complete list of participating teams and events. But the ones that I remember off the top of my head include:

1998 - Havoc On The Hill
Team 116
Team 120
At least six other teams - I need to check and remember which ones they were as we staged a full Ladder Logic competition in the main foyer of the Cannon Office Building.

2001 (or 2000? I know John Larock will remember - we were both laughing so hard at this event that we could not breathe) - University Researchers Assault On Congress
Team 116
Team 365
(this was possibly the most awesome FIRST-related event on Capitol Hill ever held. ALL of the ones since then pale in comparison. Not because of anything the teams did, but because of the speech that Dean gave to 300 university presidents and Congressional liaison officers. You had to be there to understand. Dr. Charles Vest, then-president of M.I.T., still refuses to speak to Dean because of that speech.)

2008 - Congressional Technology Caucus (I think that was it - Dave Flowerday may remember the correct event title
Team 111
Team 116

There was at least one other event as well. I think it was in 2004, but I have to refresh my memory on the details of who was there and to which group they presented. I will edit/update when I find the info.
